Notes

How to Freeze:

  • Freeze before baking: Mix the ingredients and transfer the mixture to an airtight container or a large freezer-safe zip-top bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Store the shredded cheese in a separate freezer bag. When ready to bake, thaw everything overnight in the refrigerator, spread the casserole mixture into a greased baking dish, sprinkle with the reserved cheese, and bake as directed. Add 5–10 extra minutes if needed.
  • Freeze after baking: Let the casserole cool completely, then slice into portions. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag or airtight container. When ready to serve, transfer the casserole to a baking dish and reheat in a 325°F oven until warmed through, or microwave individual slices in 30-second increments until warmed through.
