Notes

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole up to 2 days in advance, store in the fridge, and bake before serving.
  • No Pecans? Swap for walnuts or leave them out for a nut-free version.
  • Creamier Texture: Use heavy cream instead of milk for extra richness.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
