Tips For Making Casseroles Easier

Casseroles are a convenient way to make a meal without having to prepare multiple recipes! Here are a few tips and tricks to get the most out of your casseroles:

  • Prep in advance: You can chop vegetables and cook and season meat 1-2 days before you plan on making your casserole. The ingredients can be refrigerated until needed, which will save you tons of time!
  • Utilize your freezer: Many casseroles can be frozen before or after cooking. That way, you can grab it out of the freezer and pop it in the oven for an easy last-minute dinner!
  • Plan for leftovers: Consider making larger casseroles than you need for the current meal. Leftovers are delicious and can make for a great lunch or dinner the next day!
  • Use the right baking dish: Make sure you choose the appropriate size baking dish for your casserole recipe to ensure even cooking and prevent it from bubbling over. If you're planning to freeze the casserole, opt for freezer-safe and oven-safe containers to make reheating hassle-free!
  • Let it rest: Not only will your casserole be super hot right out of the oven, but letting it rest and cool slightly will make it easier to slice!
