For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the garlic cloves before adding them to the pot. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or barbeque sauce to customize the recipe to your liking. If you don't have popcorn chicken on hand, you can substitute it with cooked and shredded chicken or even crispy bacon bits. To make the mashed potatoes even richer, consider using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. Don't overmix the mashed potatoes, as this can result in a gluey texture.
