Simple Tips for These Mexican Recipes
- Make sure to drain your meat. Whether you are using chicken, hamburger meat, sausage, ham, or turkey, be sure to drain it properly to prevent a soggy or greasy casserole.
- Choose the correct baking dish. Small casseroles use an 8×8 dish. Bigger casseroles use bakeware that measures 9×13. If you are looking to feed a crowd, using a bigger dish is recommended.
- Know which cheeses are casserole friendly. Mexican cheeses can have different melting points. If you come across a type of cheese that doesn’t melt well, place the ingredient in the middle of the casserole versus the top.
What Is the Most Popular Casserole Dish Size For These Recipes?
Creating these recipes means using a standard 9×13 inch size dish. We enjoy using these Emile Henry casserole dishes to make ours. They come in different colors and are made with Burgundy clay for best baking/cooking results.
Another great bakeware brand are these Pyrex 9×13 casserole dishes. These are wonderful to use due to their glass exterior. Each set also comes with lids which makes it convenient for transport.
How Do I Freeze These Mexican Casserole Recipes?
These casseroles are also freezable. If you are planning on freezing yours, bake them in a disposable, aluminum dish. Allow them to come to room temperature after cooking. Wrap in saran wrap and in aluminum foil. Write the date and reheating instructions on the top with a Sharpie marker. Casseroles should last in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months.
What Are Five Basic Components of a Casserole?
To earn it’s name, a casserole should have five main ingredients. It should include a protein (such as chicken, fish, meat, or eggs), a starch (such as hash browns, noodles, or potatoes), a vegetable (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc.), a cheese, and a sauce to bind everything together.
