Tips

For a richer sauce, consider using tomato sauce or puree instead of condensed soup, as suggested by some reviewers.
Some reviewers suggest adding other ingredients like sauerkraut, bacon, or different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
Baking in the oven at around 350°F (175°C) for about an hour is an alternative cooking method mentioned by users.
