Notes
- Make-ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate; bake longer (about 40–45 minutes) the next day until heated through.
- Flavor variations: Use a different stuffing mix or cheese if desired.
- For a lighter version, substitute part-skim milk and reduce cheese amount.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
