For a richer flavor, sauté the carrots, onion, celery, and garlic in olive oil before adding them to the casserole. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Vegetable broth can be substituted for water for added depth of flavor. For a vegan option, use a plant-based cheese substitute or nutritional yeast. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
