For a richer flavor, try using a combination of Colby and Monterey Jack cheese. Adjust the amount of chipotle chile to control the level of spiciness. To make it vegetarian, ensure the cheese soup is vegetarian-friendly. For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Add a dash of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture for an extra layer of smokiness.
