  • To make the casserole more cheesy, sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top before baking. You can also use a blend of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, for a more complex flavor.
  • For a crispy topping, broil the casserole for a few minutes at the end of the baking time. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
