Casserole is a versatile dish with origins in European cuisine, gaining popularity worldwide for its comforting and easy-to-prepare nature. Typically baked in the oven, casseroles can include a base of protein such as chicken, beef, or legumes, paired with starches like pasta, rice, or potatoes, and mixed with vegetables and creamy or savory sauces. Topped with cheese or breadcrumbs, casseroles are often a hearty, one-dish meal. Nutritional value varies widely depending on ingredients; versions packed with vegetables, lean proteins, and light sauces offer high nutrient density, fiber, and protein. However, richer varieties with heavy cream, excessive cheese, or refined starches can be calorie-dense and higher in saturated fat. Customizing recipes with whole grains, reduced-fat dairy, and plenty of vegetables can enhance the nutritional profile of this beloved comfort food.
