  • Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove dish from refrigerator and let warm at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake the casserole bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Arrange a layer of tomato slices atop the casserole and continue baking until a knife inserted into the middle of the casserole comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let casserole cool 10 minutes before cutting.
