Can you freeze Potluck Taco Casserole?

Unwrap casserole; reheat on a lower oven rack until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°. Cool for 5-10 minutes, then top as directed.

Test Kitchen Tips

"Migas" means "crumbs" in Spanish. For a migas twist, swap a cup of torn tortillas or coarsely crushed tortilla chips for the biscuit mix. Then bake till set (it may take a little longer).

For individual portions that kids will love, bake in greased muffin cups until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
