Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion before layering it in the dish. You can substitute ground turkey for the hamburger for a lighter option. If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in some sour cream or cream cheese with the tomato soup. Adjust the seasoning according to taste, and feel free to incorporate herbs like thyme or oregano to enhance the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the casserole hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color. It pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For a fun twist, consider pairing it with Sweet Onion Gravy for extra flavor or enjoy it alongside a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover the casserole with foil and warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-30 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for quick reheating if you prefer.
