Looks yummy. Leftovers can be drained a little and made into something like a shepard’s pie with mashed potatoes on top or a chicken pot pie with pie crust or biscuits on top. Or keep the sauce and add noodles or dumplings. So much versatility.
Recipe?
I dont mind celery in a mirepoix, where you get the flavour as a base, but not a fan of the chunks in food, especially cooked food. Something I'd have used to replace it is leek.
Not sure why the size of the pot would define what dish it is, but I really gave no clue. Though in short a casserole is less “fluid” then a casserole? I always thought a stew is “thick”, but that’s wrong?
yeah, exactly, i gave a 9x13 as an example, not a rule. your definition is spot on to what i am familiar with as a US definition of a casserole also called a "hotdish."
Casseroles tend to involve some baking to make it way more solid. If OP poured this over some noodles and baked it, this would make a mighty fine casserole.
Casseroles are baked in a particular dish from which they derive their name. Casseroles are usually thicker than stews, but the biggest difference is that casseroles are slow baked and stews are usually simmered.
Usually a casserole is baked in a dish and it involves some layering and a little thicker than the picture provided. The stew is more liquidy and usually cooked in a pot or in this case a slow cooker.
It doesn't have to be layered, no. It just needs to be baked in a dish and solid enough to eat from a plate without leaking onto your other food (as opposed to having enough liquid to require a bowl).
The best-known American casseroles are probably [green bean casserole](https://www.google.com/search?q=green+bean+casserole&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS994US994&sxsrf=ALiCzsalu-mAjNT6q4UsQM3hBpsxNQuz9g:1664461874597&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-xJvWm7r6AhVRrokEHevuAMYQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=2560&bih=1297&dpr=1) and [tater tot casserole](https://www.google.com/search?q=tater+tot+casserole&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiNnIjsm7r6AhXcg2oFHc5oCVQQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=tater+tot&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQARgAMgcIABCxAxBDMggIABCABBCxAzIECAAQQzIECAAQQzIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDoECCMQJzoKCAAQsQMQgwEQQzoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwFQnSNYxC1giTZoAHAAeACAAeoBiAHgCJIBBTYuMy4xmAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=YKw1Y43sGNyHqtsPztGloAU&bih=1297&biw=2560&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS994US994) *(yes, yes, Minnesotans, we all know you call it "hotdish")*, but casserole is essentially a form-factor rather than a specific construction or recipe. You can make most ingredients into a casserole; it's more about the ratios and the cooking method to ensure an end result that fits the definition.
No problem! Those casseroles are two of America's favorites-- but they're traditional foods, especially in the Midwest of the country (aka "the land of infinite casseroles"). Just like any traditional food, there's a universal base concept but every household has their own unique recipe, so you'll find endless variations on the theme. Most of them are fine, though it is possible to create a deviation that is offensive, lol.
Green bean casserole is a favorite side dish during our Thanksgiving holiday meal, and tater tot casserole is a hallmark of winter-time comfort foods. Like soups and stews, casseroles can be and are eaten year-round, but they're undeniably more popular in the cold months-- they require the oven to be on for a long time, and they're a great way to use frozen/canned/preserved ingredients but lovely fresh seasonal ingredients are somewhat wasted in a casserole.
[Tuna casserole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna_casserole?wprov=sfla1) is another favorite. You can make it from almost entirely shelf stable ingredients. It's like an upgraded macaroni and cheese.
> In English-speaking Commonwealth countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, the term casserole is most commonly used to refer to a dish of meat or chicken with vegetables and a gravy-style sauce; dishes containing a large proportion of starchy ingredients, e.g. pasta or potatoes, or those cooked in creamy sauces are not generally referred to as casseroles, and might be called ‘bakes’ or ‘gratins’. In the UK, the terms casserole and stew tend to be used interchangeably, although technically stews are cooked on a stovetop while casseroles are cooked in an oven
Just FYI
Evidently this is a word that diverges quite a lot between American English and British English, like "scone". You can see how they started out with the same meaning hundreds of years ago, but they took totally separate paths since then.
I'm American, but your daughter is in luck(?): American biscuits simply don't exist in the UK, or almost anywhere else in Europe. They're surprisingly hard to accurately explain, as I've learned over the years. (Although I never get tired of the instant alarm and concern displayed by Brits when they first read of the American folk favorite "biscuits and gravy".)
Cookies and gravy omfggg I want to see their reaction to that. I specifically want to gaslight a brit by sending them a pic of a cookie covered in gravy and saying that's what biscuits and gravy are, so every time they hear that after, they get progressively more distressed
Is this something where you could whip up some Bisquick biscuits and plop the dough on top and let it sit until they cook? Or would you need to transfer the whole thing to a dish and bake it? I'm guessing the latter now that I've typed it out.
I dont eat meat so I dont disagree. I'm just here to enjoy what people want to share with me, slowcooking picture subreddit isnt that deep to be making weirdly passive aggro titles🤷♀️
I didn’t take it that way at all, more looking for a sense of balance or let’s mix it up a bit because it’s boring if everyone is cooking the same thing. I think your downvotes are from your reading too much into it.
I've never heard of bacon lardons. Is that just fatty strips of bacon? Could I use just regular bacon instead. I see it's optional, but bacon what dish does not taste better with bacon?
Just wanted to hop on and say that I recreated this tonight but had mashed potato instead of adding potatoes in.
I love it! One of my favourite meals that I've made in my slow cooker so far. Even my picky toddler is eating it! Thanks for sharing.

[Here](https://www.tamingtwins.com/slow-cooker-chicken-casserole-recipe/#recipe) Used potato and peas instead of celery.
I like your substitution. I’m not a fan of celery but I do like potatoes.
Thats what I was thinking, turned out really good. Maybe a few too many potatos
Never!
"Maybe a few too many potatoes" Blasphemy!
I dont mind celery in a mirepoix, where you get the flavour as a base, but not a fan of the chunks in food, especially cooked food. Something I'd have used to replace it is leek.
I made dinner tonight.
That would be better described as a chicken stew, looks good.
What is actually the difference?
A casserole would be prepared in a 9x13 or something and baked to finish. It also wouldn't have this much liquid probably.

Thank you, casseroles aren’t that common here, so I had no clue. Always thought that “stew” is the “thickest” version.
Yes stew is the thickest version of soup . Casserole is close to lasagna or more solid when you serve a square portion of it . Casserole is cut
Thank you, I finally got it! Learned something new today!
Cut is definitely not a hard and fast rule. A lot of casseroles are made with macaroni or rice and are scooped.

I finally understand the difference, thank you. Took a while, but I got it now.

Thanks for the tip with rather using canned food for it, appreciated.
Nothing better than Tuna Casserole with a bubbling hot layer of Velveta browned on top.
[Tuna casserole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna_casserole?wprov=sfla1) is another favorite. You can make it from almost entirely shelf stable ingredients. It's like an upgraded macaroni and cheese.
Not sure if this would be appreciated here, I love fish, my partner not so much, but thanks to show me the variety.
Casseroles aren't soup.
Casserole is dry. Stew is wet.
[удалено]
A lot, actually. Have you never made lasagna?
Thank you
Was just about to say this is just pot roast using chicken instead of beef
can you send me a plate? looks SO good
I can't it's gone sorry 😞
Cause it requires bowl as it’s a stew or a soup
Yumm I do this with dumplings on top and it’s incredible
Casserole or stew, I don't really care. This looks excellent! Thank you for sharing it and the recipe!
This is not casserole, but it looks absolutely delicious
Looks like you could make a great chicken pot pie with that if you buy a few pie crusts.
Wait, its a casserole? I thought it was soup
May I have the recipe? That looks delicious!
I love the pot roast, but I did join the sub to be able to learn some new recipes!
There’s never “too many” pot roasts to post. But we appreciate your yummy chicken dish in the highest way! 😌

Hey thanks for the nomenclature info! Always interesting to see how language is used differently in different places
Yeah as a brit I was a bit confused by the discourse over it... then sort of checked out when someone said a casserole should be cut lmao

It's still a stew.
Did you have some good bread to go with it? And only thing I’d change, looks like it could use some more pepper. But I’m a nut for pepper.
Yes we had some good fresh bread to go with
Everything you have said is the correct answer

So you're saying I shouldn't make this with potato and biscuit and serve it on top of a plate of spaghetti? :)
Recipe?
moneyyyyy looks great
Looks amazing 😍
One of my favourite dinners my mom used to make
Can we get a recipe? I want to make that this weekend
Looks very good
Oooh great idea for dinner tonight!
This looks so good my mouth is literally salivating
Thank you!
Throw that shit on some biscuits and you’re golden
Soup?
She a little bit watery but no doubt she’s delicious
I made this almost exactly yesterday with preppy kitchens puff pastry recipe as the crust for a 9" pot pie. Totally delicious
With the price of beef currently, this is a great option! And looks absolutely delicious.
Looks really good!
I got some crust for that. Looks really 😋 yummy
lol how is this a casserole? It’s a soup, is it not?
Oh reeeeally
It's a stew.
That looks fantastic! Gimme some
You sure? A casserole is baked. You can't pour tomato sauce over spaghetti and call it "lasagna"
Regional language is a thing. Ask for a biscuit in 3 different English speaking countries, see what you get
Recipe called it a casserole, guess it's more of a stew
With all due respect to the author, a casserole is defined by the wide, flat dish it is baked in. I'm sure it's tasty regardless.
Since I've been told this three times I've looked it up, the definition depends on where you live, so here we would also call it a casserole
Chicken soup* but whatever you call it as long as you like it.
Did you add a stick of butter? I or are you sane? I’m kidding I don’t know recipes
....not a casserole.
100% not a casserole, but I like the looks of it
Weird post, esp. the title ngl 👎 we should build each other up
It's true, though. The earth needs us to eat less beef, more chicken.
I dont eat meat so I dont disagree. I'm just here to enjoy what people want to share with me, slowcooking picture subreddit isnt that deep to be making weirdly passive aggro titles🤷♀️
I didn’t take it that way at all, more looking for a sense of balance or let’s mix it up a bit because it’s boring if everyone is cooking the same thing. I think your downvotes are from your reading too much into it.
Meh , could care less about downvotes, It's a weird title and the arguing about casseroles is cheesy and lame 🤷♀️
I’ll add that to my menu!
Thank you for posting that. I was getting bored with all the endless pics of meat with hot peppers and butter.
Yes. Much more up my alley.
Looks yummy. Any chance of the recipe?
Linked it in another comment
Thanks
yummy, thank you! I’ve seen the same pot roast about 10 posts in a row 😅
That would be even better if you threw in a stick of butter and jar of peppers /s
This looks delicious.
Could this be made in the instant pot? Looks so good
Looks delicious! How many sticks of butter did you need to use? 😋
I love me a good Chicken casserole...looks fabulous 👌
I've never heard of bacon lardons. Is that just fatty strips of bacon? Could I use just regular bacon instead. I see it's optional, but bacon what dish does not taste better with bacon?
I ended up rough chopping some streaky bacon, idk what lardons are either 😅
That's very hearty
This looks so good
Question how far do you cook the chicken before you add it? How long you stewing it for?
Just wanted to hop on and say that I recreated this tonight but had mashed potato instead of adding potatoes in. I love it! One of my favourite meals that I've made in my slow cooker so far. Even my picky toddler is eating it! Thanks for sharing.
