Notes: If a 9 x 13 inch dish is too big for your meal you can prepare two 8 x 8 inch size . Serve one for dinner and freeze the second one for a quick meal another night. To freeze assemble casserole. Then cover the unbaked casserole with plastic wrap, and two layers of foil. Date and place in freezer. To cook, remove casserole from the freezer. Defrost and proceed with baking instructions. Or for a large serving just double the recipe ingredients and prepare two 9 x 13 inch baking dishes.
