RecipeJoes Recipe Pro-Tips

  • This recipe can be customized to how much time you have – you can pan-fry the chicken, or buy a rotisserie chicken that’s already cooked.

Fun Facts About Casseroles!

A casserole is a large, deep dish used both in the oven and as a serving vessel.

The word is also used for the food cooked and served in such a vessel, with the cookware itself called a casserole dish or casserole pan.

The casseroles we know today are a relatively modern invention. Early casserole recipes consisted of rice that was pounded, pressed, and filled with a savory mixture of meats such as chicken or sweetbreads.

In Minnesota and North Dakota, casseroles are called “hotdish”.

Spaghetto is the singular word for one piece of spaghetti.

There are approximately 600 shapes of pasta! What’s your kid’s favorite? (Super Foodies might have heard the lively debate on a recent episode of The Splendid Table.)
