Notes

Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom for a vegetarian-friendly version.Use different cheeses such as Colby Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack for a flavor twist.Replace cornflakes with Ritz crackers, panko breadcrumbs, or potato chips.Add green chiles or jalapeños for a spicy variation.Make ahead by assembling without topping and refrigerating for up to 24 hours.
