  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees

  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the center is set.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the streusel topping.
  • Spread evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake for 15-20 more minutes, or until the streusel is a golden brown color and it is no longer crumbly.
  • Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
