    GENERAL CASSEROLE HELPERS

    When you don't have the specific casserole baking dish
    called for in a recipe, it's best to think big. Opt to
    use a pan of equal or slightly greater volume. However,
    if you substitute a pan that is shallower than the one
    specified, reduce the baking time by 25 percent, if the
    pan is deeper increase the baking time by 25 percent.

    To save time, though not necessary money, stock up on pre-cut and peeled vegetables like carrots, onions, and broccoli
    florets available in either your supermarket produce aisle or salad bar-you'll discover they make casserole preparation a snap.

    Because generally a casserole takes anywhere from 20 minutes
    to 2 hours to bake, you ought to consider using dried herbs
    in dishes which require longer cooking (more than an hour)
    rather than delicate fresh herbs which tend to lose their
    flavor when exposed to extended periods of high heat.

    Want to make that casserole au gratin? Simply sprinkle the
    assembled dish with grated cheese and bread crumbs moistened
    with a little melted butter and dried herbs if desired and
    continue baking until filling is cooked and topping is melted and bubbling.
