My kids will make a special request for "casserole".

It's happens that I only make one so that's all they know.

Yeah, I think they are becoming a thing of the past. And I'm 50.

I'm 12:46, and also from NY.


We make that on thanksgiving and love it. Aside from that I never make casseroles and my mom never made them. She did always make casseroles out to be white trash food (along with little Debbie snacks and a host of other things).

One thing I've noticed is that those I know that eat casseroles on regular basis are almost always overweight.


It's am honest observation and why I avoid those types of foods.

It took a whole 8 posts for someone to throw the fat card. I'm disappointed, DCUM, you're usually more on the ball than that.

Also from NY, and I love them (as long as they're well done, not cream of soup crap). There's something homey and comforting about them, and I love that with about 10 minutes of extra effort, I can usually triple the recipe and throw a couple in the chest freezer for nights when I don't have time (or energy) to cook.

I love them, but the high in fat thing bothers me. My kids would eat a pound of cheese baked onto anything if I let them.

With so much focus of fresh food, farm-to-table, seafood, etc, I think casseroles have gone out of favor. If i make them for someone who is sick or just had a baby, I always try to add a salad or crudite so that they have fresh veggies.

Are casseroles un-cool?


I love a good casserole! Leftovers heat well for lunches too. Can you post some recipes or links to your faves?


Yup! I brown bag my lunch and find that the leftovers are awesome! Some of our favorites:

Not in my house, they aren’t. We love a good casserole. I tend to make more casseroles in the winter when fresh veggies are not as available (from our garden). Plus, casseroles generally require oven cooking which heats the kitchen - in the summer, we grill, cook on the stove, or eat meals that don’t require cooking.
