Feel free to customize this casserole with your favorite herbs and spices. A pinch of thyme, a dash of paprika, or a sprinkle of garlic powder can add extra depth of flavor. For a richer flavor, use cream instead of milk. To add a crispy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs or shredded cheese over the casserole during the last 10 minutes of baking. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
