What makes a casserole a casserole?
The phrase "casserole" can apply to any food baked in an oven in a casserole dish—basically a deep, broad baking dish. A casserole might contain layers, like an Italian lasagna or a deep-dish pizza, or it can be made out of an evenly distributed mixture of vegetables, protein, and a starchy binder.

Is it better to bake a casserole with the lid on or off?
Covering a casserole allows it to cook evenly, retain moisture, and avoid burning. Uncovering enables browning, and crisping, and allows steam to escape. Which way tastes better? It depends on the effect you’re going for, but covering the casserole almost always gives you a great result.
