For a richer flavor, sauté the onions and garlic in a little olive oil before adding them to the casserole dish. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyere or Monterey Jack would also be delicious. If you don't have stewed tomatoes on hand, you can use regular diced tomatoes with a pinch of sugar. This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors meld together beautifully. To add a smoky flavor, include 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
