FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole the night before?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh in the morning, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s cold directly from the fridge.

What can I use instead of gravy mix?

If you don’t have gravy mix, you can make a simple white sausage gravy from scratch using sausage drippings, flour, milk, salt, and pepper for a homemade touch.
