A casserole is a one dish meal where the meat and vegetables and starch are
baked together, usually in some type of sauce. Cassoulet would be a French
version of a casserole. In the US a casserole that many of us grew up on was
the dreaded Tuna Noodle Casserole. A mixture of canned tuna fish, egg noodles
and frozen green peas which are baked together in a white sauce. This is
usually topped with bread crumbs or crushed potato chips for a crunchy topping.
FYI, the type of dish (usually glass or pyrex, sometimes terra cotta) used to
prepare a casserole is also called a casserole. It's a rectangular dish
roughly 8x12x3 inches.
