What is in a casserole?
Casseroles are dishes that contain some sort of protein (meat), a vegetable or two, some form of starch (potatoes/rice/pasta). Once you have these ingredients, you can add a sauce (milk, soup and broth) and tie it all together with some cheese. See the five components needed below.
What are the 5 components of a casserole?
Protein, Starch, Vegetables, Sauce, and Cheese. Put these together, stick it in the oven and bake away!! Mix and match and create you’re own recipes. This Ham and Noodle Casserole has ham, pasta, celery & onions, Cheddar Cheese Soup, milk. All of the components.
What can I use if I don’t have a casserole dish for my Ham and Noodle Casserole?
You could try a dutch oven or a cake dish, anything that is oven safe. A cast iro skillet works great in the oven.
