  3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray.

Notes

For a crunchy top, consider broiling the casserole for a few minutes at the end. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat by thawing overnight and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
