Notes

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this casserole ahead of time. I sometimes cover my casserole dish with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and refrigerate it until I'm ready to bake it. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if the casserole is cold from the refrigerator.
Can I freeze Mexican Cornbread Casserole?
Yes, this casserole freezes well. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container and thaw it completely before reheating.
