Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

What can I substitute for the cream of celery soup?
If you don't have cream of celery soup, you can use cream of mushroom soup or even make a homemade white sauce with butter, flour, and broth. This will give you a similar creamy consistency while adding a different flavor profile to your casserole.
Is it possible to freeze this casserole?
