⭐ Tips & Variations

• From scratch sauce: Replace canned soup with a homemade mushroom cream sauce using butter, flour, broth, and cream.

• Extra flavor: Add sautéed mushrooms, bacon bits, or caramelized onions.

• Healthier: Use low-sodium soup and low-fat milk; skip the cheese.

• Make ahead: Assemble (without topping) and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add topping right before baking.
