Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce thicken slightly and makes for cleaner slices.
🍞 What to Serve With It:
-
Green salad – Tossed in a zippy vinaigrette to balance the richness
-
Roasted veggies – Like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus for texture and contrast
🔄 Make-Ahead & Storage Tips:
-
Make ahead: Assemble the casserole (without baking), cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
-
Freezer-friendly: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen at 350°F, covered, for 45–50 minutes, then uncover and bake 15–20 minutes more until bubbly.
-
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
