Notes
- For a spicier casserole, use more buffalo wing sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, use less buffalo wing sauce or a milder hot sauce.
- This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and baked when ready.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Consider this a great option for meal planning.
