Note
For a crispier top, you can broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or turkey for a quicker prep time.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the soup mixture.
