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.
