BANANA CASSEROLE
A Cuban dessert recipe adapted from Bake Until Bubbly by Clifford Wright. This could be adapted to individual ramekins--that way you could downsize the recipe. You could also add more caramel sauce and whipped cream. I have changed this a bit after looking at Chef#296809's excellent suggestions.

Tips:
- For a sweeter casserole, use ripe bananas. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can microwave them for a few seconds to soften them.
- If you don't have any evaporated milk, you can use regular milk instead. Just add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the recipe.
- You can add a variety of spices to the casserole to taste, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice.
- If you want a crispy top, sprinkle some brown sugar or cinnamon sugar on top of the casserole before baking.
- Serve the casserole warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
