Notes

  • Add cooked vegetables like broccoli or peas for more nutrition.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • To make ahead, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cream soup and crackers.
  • This casserole freezes well—before or after baking.
