Can I freeze this casserole?

Oh honey, I learned this the hard way—don’t do it! The dairy separates when thawed, leaving you with a grainy, watery mess. This dish is best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge for a couple days.

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Just thaw it completely and squeeze out every drop of water (I mean it—press those florets like you’re juicing lemons). Frozen works in a pinch, but fresh gives that perfect crisp-tender bite.

How do I make it gluten-free?

Easy-peasy! Swap regular breadcrumbs for gluten-free panko or crushed gluten-free crackers. Heck, even crushed pork rinds work if you’re feeling wild. The sauce is naturally GF, so you’re golden!
