For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of lower-fat varieties. Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cheese sauce for extra depth. If you prefer a less creamy casserole, use less condensed soup. For a golden-brown, extra-crispy topping, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
