Notes
Serving Tips
- Serve the casserole warm right out of the crock pot for the best texture and flavor.
- Pair it with a cold glass of milk, hot coffee, or your favorite spiced tea to complement the pumpkin and cinnamon flavors.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top just before serving.
- You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of extra maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
Storage Tips
- Allow the casserole to cool completely before storing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or reheat the entire casserole in the crock pot on low until warmed through.
- This casserole is not recommended for freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.
