It’s not that hard and obviously healthier for you. So unless you want to have a regular amount of wood pulp in your diet, I’d recommend shredding your cheese by hand. And guess what – cellulose is made from wood pulp. Packaged pre shredded cheese has an “ingredient” in it, cellulose, designed to keep the shreds of cheese from sticking together. That means have the chicken cut up or shredded, slightly steam the cauliflower, sauté the mushrooms, either use leftover rice or cook your rice, and shred all of your cheeses.Īnd by the way, it is always better to shred your own cheese.
That way you’re much more organized and the casserole assembly process is a breeze. Lesson Learned 1 – Get all the individual ingredients prepped first: This is pretty much a rule of thumb for almost any recipe, but since there are so many different types of ingredients in a casserole I’ve found the best thing to do is to get everything “assembly ready” first. So let’s talk about making a chicken, cauliflower and mushroom casserole… But if you’re a prep nut like me who gets satisfaction out of chopping, mincing, dicing and slicing than it really is no big deal. So I’ll admit I made this the other day without using any leftovers. For me, that is the beauty of a casserole.Ĭasseroles also feed my love of prepping things. And besides, I’d rather be relaxing an hour before the meal than scrambling right up to the last minute before you put the meal on the table. Let’s face it, casseroles are basically designed to help you use your leftovers – sort of a “fooled you, you ate this the other night for dinner and here it is again, just dressed up differently!” But whether you are using leftovers or preparing ingredients from scratch there is nothing as comforting as a casserole. Just be aware of that, especially if you are prepping ingredients from scratch. On the outside what you see is a one dish meal – couldn’t be easier right? But upon closer inspection you see a wide variety of ingredients that have to be “bake-off” ready in order to assemble the casserole. And if you don’t have those ingredients on hand, there’s a lot of work involved in putting a casserole together.
