Notes
Storage: Leftovers keep well, tightly covered in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Re-crisp topping under the broiler or in a toaster oven.
Freezer: Assemble casserole without cracker topping. Wrap well and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw, add topping, and bake as directed.
Variations: Add veggies (peas, broccoli), cheese, swap soups, use different crackers, or add spice. See full list of ideas above!
