The history of the casserole is a rich and ancient one. Archaeological excavations have uncovered countless prehistoric clay �casserole� dishes used for cooking large amounts of food slowly. Perhaps we have a �casserole gene� that connects us to our ancestral lineages, because many of us sure seem to crave these meals once the weather starts to cool and the clans (family and community) begin to re-gather after summer vacations apart. It seems that casseroles were just made for feeding large numbers of people in a very soothing and reassuring kind of way. You don't need a lot of food or money to create a yummy casserole; quite often you can use whatever you find in your fridge and pantry. It's also possible for family and neighbours to combine the ingredients they have, co-creating a wondrous large meal together that can feed everyone heartily. Which is another reason why people love casseroles so much, because they are so simple and affordable to make! They offer a great way to use up and random ingredients you may have in the refrigerator, or in your pantry, which is a great way to minimize waste and make sure that we don't just throw away food, when there are many people who are going hungry.
