Origins: Just in Case You Were Wondering!
While cooking in one pot, like earthenware vessels, have been common, the casseroles we know today became popular in Europe and the United States in the 50s when new light-weight metals and glassware became available.
As a lover of all thing French Provençal, I had to mention that the word “casserole” actually is the French diminutive of casse, from Provençal cassa or “pan.”
While not stews, casseroles come in a variety of forms. Most popular and familiar casseroles include ragout, hotpot, cassoulet, tagine, moussaka, shepherd’s pie, gratin, rice or macaroni timballo, and carbonnade.
While we’ve changed the name “one-pot meals,” etc., casseroles, or whatever you want to call them, they will always have a place on weekly menus. The convenience of their make ahead flexibility, pantry staple ease… and just plain delicious flavors will always make them a popular choice.
