Yes, an assembled casserole that is refrigerated overnight will take longer to bake because the ingredients will be chilled and will need to heat up before the casserole can begin to cook. It is recommended to let the casserole sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to help it cook more evenly and reduce the baking time.
 
Yes, an assembled casserole that has been refrigerated overnight will take longer to bake because it is cold throughout. This is because the cold temperature of the casserole will need to be brought up to the desired baking temperature before the ingredients can start to cook and the casserole can begin to heat up. This can add extra time to the overall baking process. It is recommended to let the casserole sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven to help reduce the baking time.
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that an assembled casserole that is refrigerated overnight will not take longer to bake because it's cold throughout. In fact, refrigerating the casserole overnight can actually help the flavors develop and make for an even more delicious dish. Just make sure to let the casserole come to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking. Happy cooking!
