Notes

Layering ingredients

Layering the ingredients properly helps to enhance the flavors and ensures even cooking throughout the casserole. Start with the base layer and alternate with layers of vegetables, meats, and sauce for a well-combined dish.

Using a casserole dish

Choosing the right size casserole dish is essential. Make sure it’s deep enough to hold all the layers and allows for proper cooking without overflowing.

Baking at the right temperature

Baking at the recommended temperature allows for even cooking and browning of the top layer. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.

Resting time

Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking allows the layers to set and makes it easier to cut and serve.
