For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion before layering it in the casserole. You can substitute the mushroom soup with a homemade cream sauce or a vegan option if preferred. If you want a heartier dish, adding cooked ground beef or turkey between the layers works well. Experiment with herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra depth.
