How To Preserve Leftovers

In the Refrigerator

Allow the casserole to cool entirely, and then move it to a sealed container or securely cover the casserole dish.

Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Suggestion: If you anticipate reheating single servings, separating them now simplifies things later.

In the Freezer

Ensure the casserole has cooled completely before freezing.

Divide portions into freezer-safe containers or wrap snugly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

Store in the freezer for up to 2 months for optimal texture and taste.

Suggestion: The sauce remains stable, but nuggets may become slightly softer. Still delicious, just not as crunchy.

Reheating Guidelines

Microwave – Ideal for Individual Servings

  • Set a portion on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Loosely cover to avoid splatters.
  • Heat in 60-90 second increments, stirring when feasible, until warmed through.

Oven – Best for Bigger Portions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F.
  • Transfer leftovers to an oven-safe dish and cover with foil.
  • Heat for 15-20 minutes, or until heated completely.
  • Remove foil in the last few minutes if you prefer the top to be bubbly again.

From Frozen

  • Defrost overnight in the refrigerator when possible.
  • Reheat using the aforementioned oven method.
  • If reheating straight from the freezer, cover securely and add extra time. Check frequently.
