Expert Tips

·         You can prepare the casserole up to a day ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding about 5 minutes to bake time to compensate for the refrigeration.

·         You can serve with tortilla chips for topping or dipping into the casserole; however, it will add more calories
