What is a casserole?
A casserole is made from various ingredients, typically baked in a single serving dish. Casseroles can be made from almost any combination of meats, vegetables, and grains, making them a versatile and convenient option for busy families or those looking for an easy weeknight meal.
While most casseroles include some protein, carbohydrate, and vegetable, the specific ingredients can vary greatly. Some popular casserole recipes include chicken and rice, beef and potato, and pasta with cheese.
There are endless possibilities when creating a casserole, so get creative and experiment with different ingredients to find your family’s favorite recipe.
Why are casseroles popular?
There are a few reasons casseroles are so popular. They’re usually easy to make, can be made ahead of time, and are a great way to feed a crowd.
Casseroles are also usually pretty budget-friendly since they often use inexpensive ingredients like pasta, rice, or potatoes. Plus, they can be versatile since you can easily swap out ingredients to suit your taste or what you have on hand.
the most important fact to know when making gluten free casseroles
When following a gluten free diet, it is important to remember that all the ingredients must be gluten-free. We know that fresh ingredients and proteins are naturally gluten free.
However, we often add pasta, rice, seasoning, starches, tomato sauce, cheese and sauces, which may contain additives with gluten. Therefore, be sure all ingredients are labelled gluten free.
How long will gluten free casserole dishes keep?
Assuming you have stored your casserole dish correctly, in an airtight container or covered tightly with foil, it should last 3-4 days in the fridge.
If you want it to last longer, you can freeze it for up to 2-3 months.
How to store gluten free casserole dishes
When it comes to storing gluten free casserole dishes, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
First, ensure the casserole is completely cooled before putting it in the fridge or freezer. If you’re freezing the casserole, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
When you’re ready to reheat the casserole, thaw it overnight in the fridge and then bake it at 350 degrees until heated through.
