Prior to baking and adding the streusel topping, casserole can be tightly covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
Thaw frozen casserole in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before using.
Take casserole out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to take the chill off.
Store cooked leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can add nuts if desired: just add ¾ cup of your favorite chopped nuts to the streusel topping.
