Notes

Great for using leftover ham or turkey.

Can be frozen for about 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator. When fully thawed cook according to above instructions, adding time, if needed to get casserole hot.

Leftovers can be frozen, but it's better fresh.

To reheat, add a bit of milk and heat on stovetop or in microwave.
