Notes
Cooking With Kim Notes:
This casserole is a great make ahead meal. If serving the next morning, follow directions 2 - 4, cover with foil and store in the refrigerator overnight.
Once you are ready to bake, remove from the refrigerator while your oven is pre-heating so that the pan comes to room temperature.
Optional toppings that can be used: pecans, almonds, walnuts, chocolate chips
Tune in tomorrow for our next submission in our casserole recipe roundup hosted by @asiliglamcooks and friends.
