How can I tell when the casserole is fully cooked?

The casserole is ready when the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. If unsure, you can insert a knife into the center to check if the mixture is hot and evenly cooked throughout.

What is the purpose of the crushed whole-grain crackers on top?

The crushed whole-grain crackers create a crunchy, golden topping that contrasts with the creamy vegetable filling. This texture balance enhances the overall eating experience, making the dish more satisfying.
