Even still, while casseroles are fairly intuitive, there are still some potential pitfalls.
They can be dry, mushy, or soupy.
The top of a casserole can burn before the rest of it even warms through.
If you’ve been there, you’re not alone.
But if your recipe just calls for cooked or leftover noodles or rice?
Be sure to have themveryal dente before they go in.

Boil for 7 then drain and use in your dish.
Those things have a tendency to burn before the dish is fully cooked.
How to fix it:Some other flavor boosters can help.
Try a drizzle of good olive oil or an herb oil once its out of the oven.
How to fix it:Sauce it up!
If you have an Italian-style casserole, serve it on a pool of heated jarred marinara.
