  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese are all good choices.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables. The vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to this casserole. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season the casserole well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for this casserole. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, oregano, or thyme, to taste.
