Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to pour it into the baking pan and bake it on the day you plan to serve it for the best texture and flavor.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Absolutely! To freeze, let the casserole cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed.
