Recipe Notes

Casserole can be made the night before. Follow all steps as directed, but don’t bake it (you can just melt the butter in the microwave and pour into the pan). Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from fridge and preheat oven to 350ºF. Remove cover from casserole and bake as directed, baking time may need to be increased slightly due to being refrigerated overnight.
