  • Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the casserole. Parmesan cheese adds a nice flavor and texture to the casserole.
  • Top the casserole with crispy fried onions. Crispy fried onions add a delicious crunch to the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown. The casserole should be baked until it's bubbly and the top is golden brown.
