Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make my cheeseburger casserole ahead of time?
Absolutely! If you want to make your casserole in advance, follow the instructions until just before topping your casserole with more cheese. Let your casserole cool down first then top it with the cheese. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days then bake it in a 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes covered, or until warmed through. Cook it for another 10 minutes uncovered, top it with herbs and it’s ready to serve.
How can I store and reheat my cheeseburger casserole?
Store it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Reheat it in the microwave or in an oven at 350 degrees F. We suggest reheating them in individual portions until warmed through.
