Do you always cover a casserole dish?

As a language model, I don't cook casseroles or have any personal preferences.

Whether or not you should cover a casserole dish depends on the recipe and the desired outcome.

Here's a general guideline:

* Covering a casserole dish:

* Helps to cook the food evenly by trapping moisture and heat.

* Prevents the top of the casserole from drying out.

* Can be used for most casseroles, especially those with meat or poultry.

* Leaving a casserole dish uncovered:

* Allows the top to brown and crisp.

* Can be used for casseroles with a breadcrumb or cheese topping.

* May be preferred for certain types of vegetables, such as those that benefit from being exposed to heat.

Always refer to the specific recipe instructions for the best guidance.
