For a richer flavor, use full-fat mayonnaise and freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese. Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce for an extra layer of flavor. If you don't have buttery round crackers, Ritz crackers or even crushed saltines can be substituted. The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for garnish before serving.
