Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- To Freeze: Sloppy joe casserole makes for a great freezer meal, and can be stored for up to 3 months.
- To Reheat: If reheating from the freezer it’s best to let the pasta thaw a bit before placing it in the microwave. If reheating from the fridge, simply pop the casserole in the microwave until it’s heated through.
- Spray your baking dish so the casserole does not stick.
- Cook the pasta to al dente so it stays firm after baking.
- If the cheese browns too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving so it sets.
- Garnish with parsley or green onions for added color.
