Notes

Freezer friendly: This is a recipe that I like to double or triple. It doesn’t take much more work to double it. You can easily make one for now and then one to go into the freezer. If you are making this for the freezer, do not bake in the oven. Prepare the casserole. Then allow to cool. Cover and freeze. To reheat: allow to thaw overnight in fridge. Then bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes, covered.
