Tips:

Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
Use a large skillet or casserole dish: This will ensure that you have enough space to cook all of the ingredients evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of ingredients, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook more evenly.
Season your food to taste: Don't be afraid to add more spices or herbs to your dish if you think it needs it. Taste the food as you're cooking and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they're tender-crisp, but not mushy.
Use a variety of textures: A combination of soft and crunchy textures will make your casserole more interesting and enjoyable.
Top with cheese if desired: If you're a cheese lover, you can top your casserole with shredded cheese before baking. This will give it a nice golden brown crust.
