'Cheesy' Potato Casserole
A casserole, from the French for 'saucepan', is a large, deep pot used both in the oven and as a serving vessel.The word casserole is also used for the food cooked and served in such a vessel, called a 'casserole dish'. In British English, this type of dish is frequently also called a bake.
The name of the dish inspired the plethora of casserole entrees that gained great popularity during the 1950s.
