For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the water chestnuts in the reserved bacon fat before adding them to the casserole. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk. Feel free to add other vegetables such as sliced mushrooms or chopped onions to the casserole for added texture and flavor.
