Notes
- Refrigerator Storage: After cooling completely, transfer the leftover casserole to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I recommend portioning it into individual containers for easy reheating during busy weeknights.
- Freezer Storage: This easy casserole freezes exceptionally well. Portion and place it into freezer-safe containers, then freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Reheating from Refrigerated: Microwave individual portions on medium power for about 2 minutes. Adding a tablespoon of water or chicken broth before reheating will help the casserole maintain moisture.
- Reheating from Frozen: Thaw the casserole overnight in the refrigerator. If you're reheating it from frozen, I recommend using an oven at 325°F. Cover it with aluminum foil and heat for 30-45 minutes until the center reaches 165°F.
