Notes

Customize to Taste: Feel free to customize this recipe by swapping out ingredients. Try different cheese varieties or soup flavors to suit your preferences.

Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare this casserole ahead of time by assembling the layers, covering with foil, and refrigerating until ready to bake. Perfect for meal prep or busy weeknights.

Gluten-Free Adaptation: To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure all ingredients are labeled gluten-free. Use gluten-free cream soups, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning. Opt for a gluten-free alternative for the crispy fried onions or omit them entirely.
