Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a creamier texture, use whole milk or even half-and-half
• Avoid overcooking the noodles before adding them to the casserole to prevent them from becoming mushy
• Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal
Food Safety:
• Ensure the casserole reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety
• Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking and consume within 3-4 days
