FROM WINTER WARMERS TO DINNER PARTIES - THE VERSATILITY OF CASSEROLE DISHES
Casseroles – often referred to as one-dish meals – are the ultimate in comfort food and are perfect for home cooked meals with family. But what is it that makes them so popular?
Origins of The Casserole
Casserole Recipes have been around for a very long time, and the name itself comes from the French word for a cooking pot. As early as the 1870s, cooks were using casseroles to make dishes that were easy to transport and prepare.
Casseroles were originally made in clay pots, with meats and vegetables combined with water or wine. The casserole was then covered with a lid and baked over hot coals.
As time went on, more ingredients were added to the mix—poultry, fish, vegetables—and chefs discovered ways to make this layering technique work for more than just soups and stews. They began baking in the oven with their own attractive crusts until they became what we know as traditional casserole dinners today.
The Casserole Dishes of Today
Today’s casseroles are usually prepared in a deep dish pan or square baking dish, and may be served as a main course or side dish. Most casserole recipes are versatile enough to be served at breakfast lunch or dinner.
There is no limit on what can be considered a casserole recipe. The ingredients can include almost any combination of meat, poultry, seafood or pasta along with vegetables, cheeses and sauces. Even dessert casseroles exist! The key is that the ingredients all bake together into one easy dish.
Casseroles – a dish for all occasions.
Casserole Recipes are perfect for so many different occasions, casserole dinners can cover so many things for example casseroles for dinner parties, casserole for a crowd, and casserole meals for your family.
