Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 390ºF
    • If you don't want to heat up your kitchen, you can use your wood pellet smoker grill to bake your casserole. A wood pellet smoker grill, at higher temperatures is a convection oven. If using your wood pellet smoker grill, I suggest using CookinPellets.com Premium Perfect Mix wood pellets. At temperatures above 300ºF wood pellet grills generate very little smoke
