I also tripled the amounts of garlic and black pepper that went into it. Add a chicken boullion cube to your cream sauce. Spray baking dish with cooking spray instead of butter. Double recipe for 9 × 13 pan. Added 1tsp each:thyme nutmeg and crushed red pepper. Doubled garlic. Minced mushrooms (So the kids wouldn’t know!!) Put a splash of white wine in with the veggies as the sauteed. Omitted peas (don’t like them). Added 1/4 cup of parmesan ,1/4 package of cream cheese and half the cheddar cheese to the sauce.Added 1/2cup of quartered cherry tomatoes. Topped with remaining cheese then topped with corn flakes instead of bread crumb mixture.
