Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
  • Variations: Add diced jalapeños for heat, crumbled bacon for smoky flavor, or sautéed onions for extra depth.
  • Dietary Adaptations: For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or omit the topping. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and sour cream, and skip the cheese.
