• If you want a quick biscuit shortcut, try making simple 7-Up biscuits and place them on top before baking.

variation (if any)

• Add chopped bell peppers or spinach to the filling for more veggies.
• Use different mushrooms or swap in crumbled tofu for a different texture.
• Make smaller, individual casseroles in ramekins for single servings.
