For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef in a skillet before layering it in the baking dish. Drain off any excess grease before adding it to the casserole. Feel free to experiment with different types of creamed soups, such as cream of mushroom or cream of celery, for a unique flavor profile. Add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy topping. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based ground meat alternative or an additional layer of mixed vegetables.
