This dish is one of those that you can make in advance and just heat up when you get home. Or you can prepare it the night before and take it to a party the next day. It is so delicious, I assure you, you will be the life of the party after you serve it! I am a mega-fan of this casserole because it is insanely easy to throw together and my entire family likes it. my kids don’t even realize there are onions in it because they are hidden in the sauce. Yay!
