To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, succulent meats, and fragrant spices will elevate your casserole to new heights.
Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. Allow some space for the ingredients to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
When using canned tomatoes, drain them well before adding them to the casserole. This will help prevent excess liquid from diluting the flavors.
Don't skip the browning step for meats and vegetables. This adds depth of flavor and creates a more complex dish.
Season each layer of the casserole generously. This ensures that every bite is bursting with flavor.
Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful and aromatic dish. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to suit your taste. Add more or less of a particular ingredient, or substitute different vegetables or meats if desired.
