Casseroles began as a kind of stew - a method of slow-cooking meat with vegetables in the oven so that tougher cuts of meat became tender and easier to eat. Serving a dish en casserole means serving it in the pan it cooked in, and several companies have made their fortune providing attractive 'oven-to-dinner-table' cookware. The term for the cookware is the same as for what is cooked therein - it too is called a 'casserole' pan and you should have at least one in your kitchen.

In the mid-twentieth century, this dish became the star of the shared supper known as the Pot Luck Dinner, in which each family provided one dish that was shared among the participants. Pot Lucks were staples of church and civic organizations, and the genteel competition to provide the most popular dish was intense.

Today, casseroles are great for the staggered eating hours of many busy families, with after school events overlapping with evening activities and when finding an hour where everyone can sit down at once is harder than ever before. A casserole in a warm oven, with perhaps the judicious addition of a little bit of water if it has to wait too long, can ensure that everyone has something hot to eat.

These one pan meals also become comfort food over time, and most people have a particular favorite from their childhood that they recall fondly and attempt to make 'just like Mom did', with varied degrees of success.

Meat, noodles or rice or mashed potatoes, vegetables and sauce or cheese - a casserole can be a complete meal with components from all the food groups. You will cerainly find a new favorite right here.
