  3. Did you know? • A casserole, from the French for "saucepan",[1] is a large, deep dish used both in the oven and as a serving vessel. The word casserole is also used for the food cooked and served in such a vessel, with the cookware itself called a casserole dish or casserole pan. In British English, this type of dish is frequently also called a bake, coinciding with the cooking technique used to cook casseroles. • www.wikipedia.com

  4. Where did casseroles come from? • Became popular in the 1950’s when women were joining the workforce and needed quick, nutritious, one dish meals. • Green bean casserole was invented in 1955 by the Campbell Soup Company test kitchen under the leadership of Dorcas Reilly. • www.freebase.com

  5. What kinds of leftovers can be used for one dish meals, like casseroles? • Leftover chicken, meat, or vegetables can be combined to make a meal. They can be extended with a starch such as flour, rice, or pasta. Cheap and yummy! • Another one-dish meal example - Chili – left over meat, vegetables, and sauces.

  6. What casseroles are good for vegetarians? • Remember, VEGETARIAN does not mean VEGAN. • Lacto=Milk + Plant Sources • Ovo=Eggs + Plant Sources • Vegan =ONLY food from plant sources

  7. How can you reduce sodium and fat in casseroles? • Sodium: • Drain and rinse canned vegetables or use fresh/no salt added varieties. • Use fresh spices and herbs in place of salt. • Hint – most “spice mixtures” are mainly SALT. • Fat: • Use skim milk in place of whole fat. • Use less butter or margarine. • Choose low fat/reduced fat toppings

  8. Toppings can get too brown in the oven so how can we prevent this? • Put the toppings on at the end of the cooking process. • Shield the toppings with aluminum foil. • Move casserole to lower oven rack.

  9. What can be done to minimize cleanup time? • Soak the dish. • Grease the pan OR…Use a casserole dish liner or aluminum foil. • Don’t overbake! • Use disposable dish.
