For enhanced flavor, consider sautéing a small diced onion and a stalk of celery before adding them to the mix. This adds aromatic depth and texture. To prevent the casserole from drying out, ensure your noodles are cooked al dente before combining. A pinch of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce can elevate the profile. For a richer topping, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs or swapping them for crushed buttery crackers. Do not overbake the casserole once the breadcrumbs are added, as this can make the edges tough.
