Not Your Mama's Casserole Dish

The casserole dish used to represent convenience. Mothers across the country would pile in the ingredients to form one singular dish with your standard protein, carb and vegetable. They called it the casserole.

But today, while the casserole dish still represents convenience, casseroles have left their traditional comfort for the unconventional. From baking cod topped with fresh bread crumbs to adding spices from around the world, the casserole dish is no longer boring. We love casseroles, they house all the important ingredients to feed our hungry bellies while continuing to be an easy, make it before hand dish.
