Notes

NOTE ON NUTRITION: I have calculated the nutritional info based 8 servings because my family likes to have big helpings of this dish, but I think it could definitely feed 12 as a holiday side dish. 
STORAGE: Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
