ready for the lamest cooking question EVER?!?!

I have never had a casserole!

what is it? What does it consist of? Sorry guys for such a dummy question.

I plan on being around here more now that the baby is getting into some type of schedule - which means I have no excuse not to start cooking!

I think a casserole is a bunch of stuff put together in a casserole dish (like Corning Ware) and baked in the oven. The casserole I cook usually have some sort of pasta, meat, sauce, and possibly cheese.

you can make a casserole out of almost anything. i think 'casserole' just means that it bakes in one dish - so you don't have a gazillion pots and pans to clean.

Re: ready for the lamest cooking question EVER?!?!

This term refers to both a baking dish and the ingredients it contains. Casserole cookery is extremely convenient because the ingredients are cooked and served in the same dish. A 'casserole dish' usually refers to a deep, round, ovenproof container with handles and a tight-fitting lid. It can be glass, metal, ceramic or any other heatproof material.

A casserole's ingredients can include meat, vegetables, beans, rice and anything else that might seem appropriate. Often a topping such as cheese or bread crumbs is added for texture and flavor.

I thought I was going to read a question like...how do you boil water ...but this is totally NOT a lame question...

I've never had a casserole either...well...maybe I have if that string bean casserole recipe on the back of the can of French's Fried Onions can count...
