List of casserole dishes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable casserole dishes. A casserole, probably from the archaic French word casse meaning a small saucepan,[1] is a large, deep dish used both in the oven and as a serving vessel. The word is also used for the food cooked and served in such a vessel, with the cookware itself called a casserole dish or casserole pan.
