How to store leftovers

Once the chicken and waffles casserole has cooled completely it should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply use the microwave.

Mel's kitchen notes

Test the center of the casserole with a knife to check for doneness. Sometimes it can appear to be cooked but still be soft. (If it is browning too much on top but still too soft inside, cover the top with aluminum foil.)
