  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to keep the casserole moist and flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce, or you can add in some cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
  • Top the casserole with a crunchy topping. A crunchy topping will add texture and flavor to the casserole. Some good options include bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or grated cheese.
