Notes

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal, as the flavors often enhance when left to meld overnight. It’s a comforting, hearty dish perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or a satisfying weeknight meal.
Serving Suggestions:  Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or dill. A side of crusty bread or a light salad complements this hearty, comforting dish well.
