To reheat a slow cooked casserole effectively, first preheat your oven to 350°F. If the casserole is refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before heating. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning and to retain moisture. Heat for about 20-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through. For added moisture, sprinkle a little water or broth over the casserole before covering.
