Casserole is a dish that has shaped European cuisine for a long time. Each country has its own recipe for cooking casseroles. For example, the well-known lasagna is essentially a casserole.
Of course, the path of casseroles was thorny. Originally, it was the dish of beggars. Many incongruous ingredients were put on the casserole dough.
