"A long time family favorite! To save time the sauce may be made 1-2 days ahead which is even better because it allows the flavors to blend and intensify, just warm slightly before using it. Cooking time is for the assembled casserole only. Kasseri cheese is the "Greek mozzarella" you can use mozzarella instead"
