Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the casserole a day in advance. Simply mix all ingredients and pour them into the greased baking dish, then cover and store in the refrigerator. Bake it when you're ready to serve, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if it's cold from the fridge.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt is a great substitute that will provide similar creaminess and tanginess. You could also use buttermilk, which will add a nice flavor. Just keep in mind that it may slightly alter the texture of the casserole.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes, you can freeze leftovers for up to three months. Allow the casserole to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container. When ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven or microwave. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing.
