For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the sauce. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream sauce for warmth. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli, corn, or mushrooms. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it, unbaked, for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
