For a deeper flavor, use homemade marinara sauce. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the casserole. If you don't have garlic croutons, you can use plain croutons and add garlic powder for flavor. To prevent the croutons from burning, cover the casserole dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Aug 22, 2023I didn't have croutons, so I used breadcrumbs instead. It was still good, but I'll try it with croutons next time.
