    💭What is a casserole?

    A casserole is a type of comfort food dish featuring vegetables, proteins, and grains combined with sauces or creamy ingredients like cheese and milk that usually help bind everything together.

    It's often baked in a single-serving dish until golden-brown and bubbly. Casseroles are incredibly versatile as they can be tailored to any dietary preferences and make for an easy weeknight dinner option.

    💭What are some of the best tips for making a casserole?

    Here are some of the best tips for making a casserole:

    • Use fresh ingredients where possible for maximum flavor.
    • Layer ingredients in a baking dish rather than mixing them together.
    • Start with a layer of vegetables to help keep the food moist.
    • Make sure to cook or pre-cook any proteins before adding them to the casserole.
    • Add a crunchy topping like breadcrumbs or crushed nuts for texture and flavor.
    • Cover the dish during baking, if necessary, so that it doesn't dry out.

    💡FAQ

    How do I store a easy family casserole?

    Make sure you allow the casserole to cool completely before covering the dish with aluminum foil. You can also store it in an airtight container. Eat all leftovers within 5 days.
    To freeze the casserole, cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap and then place in a freezer safe container. The casserole should be eaten within 3 months for best results.
    Reheat frozen casseroles by thawing them overnight in the refrigerator and then baking at 350°F until heated through.
