  • Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful. A good sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and add richness to the dish.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of crispy breadcrumbs or grated cheese before baking. This will give the casserole a golden-brown crust.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
