Tips for the Perfect Casserole
Use the right baking dish size (9×13 is the most versatile), and don't overcook—casseroles can dry out if left in the oven too long. Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes after baking for easier serving. Feel free to swap ingredients based on what you have on hand; casseroles are incredibly forgiving. And remember, a little extra cheese on top never hurts!
