Notes
Refrigerate: After enjoying your hearty meal, you may have some leftover Jiffy cornbread casserole. To store it, simply place the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. The casserole will store well in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheat Instructions: When you're ready for another serving, preheat your oven to around the same temperature you baked the casserole at. Place the leftovers in a baking dish or pan and reheat for about ten minutes or until the casserole is warmed through.
Freeze: Unfortunately, this dish doesn't freeze well due to the texture of the cornbread after thawing. The cheese in the recipe may separate or become grainy, affecting the overall flavor and texture of your dish.
