casserole
n.
baking dish of glass or pottery; any mixture of food cooked in a casserole dish
Casserole
In
cooking a casserole, from the
French for "sauce pan," is a large, deep pot or dish used both in the oven and as a serving dish. In the mid-twentieth century, the word also came to be used for the food cooked and served in such a dish. These foods usually consist of vegetables and sometimes meat, pasta, or rice cooked slowly in sauce or other liquid, and may be served as a main course or a side dish. Casseroles tend to be thicker than
stews and
soups, thick enough to be served on a plate and eaten with a fork.
