Tips for making a Casserole

Tips for making a casserole:

Always use cuts of meat with good marbling - as the meat cooks the fat melts and bastes, keeping it tender.
Brown the meat in batches as overcrowding lowers the temp and makes the meat sweat.
Browning the meat will add colour & flavour to the dish.
Adding a drop of  white wine to a chicken casserole, red wine or stout to beef casserole or some stock also helps flavour the meat in slow cooking dishes.
