This recipe can be easily doubled to feed a larger crowd. Use a larger baking dish if doubling.
Make-ahead option: You can assemble the casserole in advance, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate it. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking. You may need to add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.
For a crispier top, you can broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch closely to prevent burning.
