For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs, such as oregano or thyme, to each layer. Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor. Duke's or a homemade variety are excellent choices. Freshly grated Cheddar cheese melts more evenly and has a superior flavor compared to pre-shredded cheese. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
