Tips for the Perfect Casserole

  • Use an immersion blender for an ultra-smooth filling.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the filling and topping separately and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Adjust toppings: Add marshmallows for extra sweetness, or leave them off for a nut-focused dish.
  • Smaller portions: Use ramekins for individual servings; reduce baking time to 25 minutes.
