For a gourmet touch, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or toasted almonds for added texture and flavor. Substituting the processed cheese sauce with a homemade cheese sauce elevates the dish significantly. If using fresh broccoli, blanch it briefly before adding it to the casserole. To prevent the casserole from drying out, cover it with foil during the first 20 minutes of baking, then remove the foil for the remaining time to allow the top to brown.
