Notes
Storage:Once it has cooled, cover the casserole dish with a lid or some plastic wrap. You can also scoop the casserole leftovers into an airtight container, but try to keep the breadcrumb topping facing up. Refrigerate for a maximum of three days.You can freeze the casserole for up to 3 months either baked or unbaked. It's best if you leave the topping off until just before baking.For best results, avoid using the microwave to rewarm the leftovers. It'll work okay, but the topping won't be as crisp. For best results place the leftovers in a ramekin or heat-proof bowl, in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3 to 4 minutes or until the desired temperature.Tips:
Since all of the meat used in this casserole is fully cooked, you might not need to bake it for the full length of time.
"Parmigiano" generally refers to a type of Parmesan cheese that has been aged for a few years. If you can't find it, use freshly grated Parmesan.

The aroma of the creamy sauce is heavenly, but don't dig in right away - give it a minute or two to rest.
