Storage

Storing - Keep this gluten-free sweet potato casserole in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container or a the cooled baking dish covered with plastic wrap. Just reheating as needed in the microwave or bake at 250 until warmed through. It is a delicious leftover dish!

Freezing - For freezing, I recommend following all the instructions up until the baking and streusel making. Prepare the batter and freeze in freezer safe container. When you are ready to bake, remove from the freezer and unthaw. Once thawed, bake as directed and make the streusel while it is baking.
