Sure can. I haven't made this particular recipe, but i have made other sandwich casseroles baked a few minutes after assembling, and put them in the refrigerator for 3 hours, more or less, before baking. I don't know that I would let it sit overnight.

I cut the recipe in half. Ate one and it was very good. Froze the other for later and when I defrosted and heated it up it tasted better than the fresh one! Good recipe!
