For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce. To prevent the bread crumbs from burning, tent the casserole dish with foil during the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or Gouda. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Assemble the casserole, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
