Many of us grew up on casseroles because they were a cheap way to stretch a meal whether it was with pasta or rice or bread crumbs. For some it brings back good memories of eating with family.
So, as I am in a quest for some new casserole recipes, I am wondering, why do we still like them?
Is it to save money -- I can stretch a chicken pretty far in a couple of casseroles.
Is it because it tastes good -- I sure plan on keeping the recipes we liked and forgetting those we didn't.
Is it for ease -- making them ahead of time and keeping them in the fridge or freezer sure makes it easy to feed those you love and adore.
Or is it a memory we like to relive?
So, what is our love affair with casseroles about?
Casseroles -- for taste or money?

But I do like them; it's comfort food, for the budget and for the psyche.
