For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the milk mixture for extra warmth. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it (unbaked) for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time. Consider adding other vegetables like chopped celery or carrots for added nutrients and flavor.
