Cold Weather Dish

The ground meat mixture can be seasoned and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead. The entire assembled casserole can be prepared through step 6 (before baking), covered tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to baking time if starting from cold.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or reheat the entire dish covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes until heated through (internal temperature of 165°F).
