What Are the Mistakes One Should Avoid?

• Do not forget the stovetop while preparing the dish because it is prepared perfectly oven-only. Always use fresh ingredients such as mushrooms and onions.
• While cooking, make sure that the topping is crispy and the onion rings turn golden brown. If it is soggy, then the entire taste will get ruined. To make it crispier, you can coat it with cornstarch.
• Try to avoid using mushy green beans because using Frozen French-cut green beans is more appropriate. The reason is it will generate a better texture but do proper roasting otherwise, and the taste will not get enhanced. You can also steam or boil it to make it crispier.
• Do not use a casserole if it is watery otherwise, it will become thick. You can also use flour and cornstarch while preparing sauce.
