For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or a blend of Gruyere and Cheddar cheese. If you don't have water chestnuts, chopped celery can be used as a substitute for a similar crunch. Fresh sage can be used in place of dried, use 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage. To prevent the cracker crumb topping from burning, tent the casserole with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
