Notes

If using a glass casserole dish, either allow the meal to thaw on the counter for one hour before cooking, or put the meal in the oven when you turn it on to preheat. Putting a cold glass casserole dish into a hot oven will result in broken glass. Also, be sure to cover the casserole dish (foil or glass) with foil before cooking.
