We got our Facts. contributors to taste test some American casseroles. We tried to pick some of the most popular casserole dishes in America and had them prepared by our Irish chef. Needless to say the biggest hang up our contributors had was what the word casserole actually meant.

American casseroles were invented in order to feed a very large American family cheaply.
Yes, and can make ahead and store in freezer, some of them.
hehe, I misread that as "American casseroles were invented in order to feed a very large American fairly cheaply."
They're great for using up leftovers too.
Thank you
That too. See Ron Swanson.
"So, what exactly IS a casserole? Cause this just looks like stuff with gunk thrown on it."
The most accurate description of casseroles ever. Thank you Irish people. Thank you!
yes. this brought me to tears.
SACRE BLEU!!! You've broken the code! Now Ireland can win the War! (What war? ANY war.)
redraven24 You got it. That's exactly what it is. Some people make them because they really like eating them but a lot of people just resort to that when they need to cook something for dinner and they desperately don't want to. Let's see what's in the pantry. Hey, that looks like it might go together. Just throw some cheese on it and it will be alright cause cheese covers a multitude of sins.
Angela Jeannice Ah ha ha! It's true though! I know I've made 'casseroles' on a number of occasions that consisted of canned cream soup, potatoes, cheese and whatever else I've got tucked away in my fridge that needs to be eaten. Usually tastes pretty delicious too lol. Casserole...the lazy dinner alternative.
redraven24 Is it the healthiest thing you can eat? Of course not but when you're tired and just can't deal, it's still better than fast food. I'm not really a casserole person but I do use the crock pot on a regular basis. You have more options and I'm all about throwing meat and veggies in a pot and showing up 8 hrs later. voila! magic :)
Clisare: "I would never put noodles in the oven."
Nobody tell her about lasagna...
SOMEONE Please tell her! Life changing moment!
Noodles aren't pasta.
@@englishatheart Semantics at it's finest. The ONLY difference is the type of wheat, otherwise they extremely similar and both can be made using identical methods. Something you're not going to do to a noodle you're not going to do to pasta either. C'mon now.
@@englishatheart some noodles are pasta while not being noodles at all and some pastas are completely noodles without an everloving gene of pasta.
To summarize this video:
"This looks disgusting"
*Tries it*
"This tastes amazing"
Nadia Mohamed who puts cheese in a casserole
Who doesn't put cheese in everything?
TheChaoticLoser mice
Nadia Mohamed but you haven't tasted ma's casserole look at all the Irish comments about casserole were a obviously the heavyweight casserole champions of the world
Nadia Mohamed do you know what I love about facts were having a debate about casserole now find that funny
As an American who was a kid in the 60s and 70s (the heyday of the casserole) I find this absolutely hilarious. The casserole has become such a part of American food landscape we forget that the rest of the world finds this puzzling. I remember my mother having a casserole cookbook and one section was a build your own. Choose a starch, a canned soup, a protein and optionally veg. Choose a topping. Whack it together an put it in the oven. So the guy who describing scraping random foods off the counter and into the dish was not far off, lol.
The only thing we find puzzling is your misuse of the word casserole. A casserole in English is basically a stew (generally meat, veg, gravy) that's slow cooked in the oven. You Mericans seem to use the term for any savoury dish cooked in the oven.....
Casserole refers to the type of dish it is cooked in. Anything cooked in that dish can be referred to as a casserole. I will say that in the main, for the US version, you don't have so much liquid that it would ever be confused with a stew (which I'd consider closer to a soup, even for the very thick varieties). Plus with stews you often end up browning the meat first, then putting in the oven (as with a dutch oven), whereas casseroles are only cooked in the oven. That could just be my personal experience / family tradition of casseroles though.
ETA: Different use doesn't = misuse. Come on now.
yes pretty accurate
Kristin Wright It never ended in the Midwest. But we call them "hotdishes"
yes my lady is from Minnesota.
Actually, yes. Casseroles are lobbing left overs in a casserole (glass baking dish) and baking.
Four parts to a good casserole:
Carb/starch: usually pasta or rice, but potatoes can be used.
Meat/protien: tofu or beans are often subbed in veggie/vegan casseroles. Cheese also counts.
Sauce: no one wants a dry casserole. Most casseroles were originally made using a roux or gravy, but in the 1950's- Campbell's condensed soups took over as the sauce of choice do in part to making it faster, but mostly do to Campbell's recipes on labels. For example: the green bean casserole was featured on a can of cream of mushroom soup.
Topping: crunch on top for color/texture. Often one of cheese, breadcrumbs mixed with butter, crumbled crackers or crisps (chips) mixed with butter, corn flakes, or fried onions...
A fruited dessert casserole is called cobbler or crisp 🤣🤣
Attention Irish People: Casseroles were invented as a way to creatively re-use leftovers in the 60's and 70's before microwaves were common. Housewives would use casserole recipes as a way to make yesterday's pasta and glazed baked ham into a new baked single dish dinner. That's why they're all baked. There were no microwaves in the 60's and 70's. The crumbles of bread or cheese on the top are there because crunchy dried out pasta sucks so you need to cover with with something. Americans like them because they remind them of their mothers and home. Today, people don't make casseroles from leftovers, they make them from fresh ingredients. The clever re-use they were invented for has been replaced by nostalgia and comfort. Now you know.
Also they simply taste good
And it's not only in America. In Finland casseroles are a save money kind of dish, that everyone is used to.
Omg! Thank you so much for this comment! American casserole generation unite!
Make casserole's frequently, rarely are the made out of leftover's but can be. Love a hot bubbly casserole, comfort food....
American here. There were also no microwaves in the 50's - and every decade before that back to the beginning of time.
John and Donal are the shit. They are funny, they can rap, they are easy on the eyes, and they ate EVERY LAST BIT. Good on ya, lads!!
They're also total sweethearts!
Is that the brothers? the one on the left who gave 3 thumbs up is lovely lookin
yep, that last bit had me rolling lol
Yes so handsome and funny!! Two ideal qualities..
Dude says... I... Hate... Cheese. Then he eats the macaroni and cheese casserole says...it's delicious? WTF???
Dònal: "My one criticism is that it's too delicious!"
Clare: "I'd eat this ALL! DAY!"
American me: "Yeees... Now you begin to understand our ways!" lol
Casseroles are usually potluck kind of meals. Made mostly out of necessity., popularized by Moms wanting to feed a big family. What I refer to as a "One pot wonder", casseroles are easy meals because you use up leftovers, throw it in the oven & it makes for easy clean up.
jodi rowden it’s like Scotland’s toast and baked beans. 🤣
For those who don't know, Casseroles are basically either full meals, or hearty side dishes, that are cooked slowly in the oven. They usually consist of meats, cheeses, pasta, rice, and vegetables. Generally savory in nature, they're usually covered in cheese and/or breadcrumbs.
I personally love casseroles. They have to be done right, though. The best, IMO, are baked macaroni & cheese and green bean casserole.
cooked slowly in the oven in a deep dish*. Also, the ingredients are usually put in the dish in some type of layer pattern (like you would layer lasagna).
Haylla2008 Yup, this is true.
I love baked mac & cheese, and I also love green bean casserole. I made a tuna casserole once and that was pretty good.
Is the casserole dish/plate named after the meal? Or is the meal named after a dish/plate?
I believe the casserole dish/plate name came before the food. The word Casserole dates back to early 18th century: from French, diminutive of casse, meaning "spoonlike container". So originally, it described the deep pans, which is why they are still called that today.
I love how they made fun of every dish and immediately changed their mind when they ate it lol (minus the first one)
I like the tasters who actually taste the food before they comment on it.
Clisare! what a great surprise!
Also, the brothers need their own spin off channel. They have had me absolutely DYING from excessive laughter the last few videos. I kid you not, I watched the rap at the end at least 5 times in a row and cackle-snort-crazy-laughed EVERY single time. LMFAO!!!
The layered potato "casserole" is normally just referred to as a side dish - "escalloped potatoes" - the beginning "e"" gets tossed out to save time, I guess. But casseroles are generally one dish meals - made to feed large families and to be kept warm for a long time. I do love these videos you guys make - funny and good spirited. Keep 'me coming!
"Casserole is just lobbin stuff together" Yes, usually with sauce, noodles, & cheese - and then bake it ...that is casserole.
It needs salad with it.
@@tiktok11150 just throw some broccoli in
Don't forget the meat!!! Potato's are good too!!!🙂😉
I've never in my American years have heard of "Corn Casserole" ???
If you want to try it, the recipe I use for it is a can of corn, can of cream corn, box of jiffy corn muffin mix (prepare it as the box says) 1/2 cup of butter and it says 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I always use 1 cup of cheese) mix all together and bake until it's set.
at 350 degrees
first time I had it I didn't think it would be that good but there's something about the cheese and the sweetness of the corn that is really good together
Corn and cheese don't sound all that great together.
+The Twin Files if you tried Mexican corn (elotes) it's bombbb
I love the Sharpson brothers!!! They crack me up!
honestly!! do they have their own channels??
I love how every last one of them complained about the appearance of the food but they ALL *loved* the taste of them. Maybe “don't judge a book by its cover”? 🤔😋
most American food is horrifying to look act or think of but tastes bloody amazing and ya have to wonder if all of America is just a bunch of pregnant women
Exactly what I was thinking! Complained a whole lot, but the majority were happy with the taste; except the girl in the white top - she didn't like anything. She must have grown up with servants and never had a leftover in her life!
@@keithwetherhold1255 or you know, actually had good food mate. You can make good food out of scraps, but caserole sounds a bit too basic.
I don't eat a lot of casseroles but I think the modern casserole is basically the whole meal in a pan that you can freeze or refrigerate. Then during the week after a long day at work you take it out and bake it up and you have a whole meal in about 40 mins with no real cooking necessary. At least this is how I usually see the casserole today in the US.
HOW DARE THEY DISS ON GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE. IT IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE CASSEROLE AND IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
But..but it's just green beans and fried french onions.
not really.....
1 can Green beans, 1can cream of mushroom soup, pinch of garlic powder, two pinches onion powder, three pinches pepper and a 1/4 tsp salt, combine and halfway through cooking add a ton of Frenches brand fried onions on top. :) and then YUM!!!!!
Same here, I look forward to Thanksgiving mostly for green bean casserole... even though it's easy to make on any other day, too. It just seems to go with Thanksgiving really well. Mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, and green bean casserole please.
Green bean casserole is one of the lowliest forms of casserole.
*****
really? if you don't like green bean casserole you can leave sir..... LoL jk
It's funny when the look of it revolts them but they love the taste! 😃
That's pretty much the definition of a casserole LOL
I thought that's how all people react to a casserole. 😏
their definitions like "you literally just throw stuff together" "it's a pile of gunk with stuff on top" are both accurate. casseroles are honestly tons of stuff thrown in a casserole dish and tossed in the oven
But they still manage to taste good and bring cheese/crumb covered comfort to all......
I love how the two guys start to get excited about the casseroles.
"Gunk... with stuff on it!"
Valid. Tasty, generally. But, valid.
I love those two guys who eats everything!
They're brothers. John and Donal Sharpson.
Joachim1167 thanks!
zed johnson me too! I was just thinking they were the best ones out of everyone.
Dawn Wells true!😄
zed johnson they are brothers
IRISH ACCENTS ARE SO ENTERTAINING WTF
"tree tums up!"
Yes! I love how they didn't say the "th" sound fully, in TWO different ways. :p
what do ya think about southern accents then
I was about to comment on "tree tums up." XD It's impossible for me not to smile when that man talks.
I think it's hilarious when people say that! I was born and raised here in Ireland and when I hear other Irish people speak, I think the accent sounds so boring and I don't even notice my own accent!! Tell me what's so entertaining about it?? 😊 😂 😂
"Is pizza a casserole?"
Only if it's deep dish.
mustang6172 Well if you come from Chicago it’s a pie, LOL and I come from Chicago
awesome answer
and if it tastes like tomato sauce, it's Detroit style 😂

Southern broccoli casserole: 1 cup of rice, 1/3 cup melted butter, 8 ounce jar of cheese wiz, 1 cup of cream of mushroom soup, 2 cups of broccoli (I like to grind my broccoli in a blender.) Boil the rice, and add all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix well, then put it into a pan. Cook in the oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 30 minutes. You're welcome.
whoops! You forgot that can of water chestnuts. 8 oz can of sliced water chestnuts, chop 'em up if you wish. You won't regret it! Glad you mentioned this one, though--funny, though, that you call it Southern, because I grew up on that one and am from Midwest. What about the one with cream of whatever soup and dry onion soup mix, chicken on top? I remember that fondly from grad school days, though I no longer eat it.
+Linda Crawford Everybody makes things differently. This is my grandmother's recipe that she taught me years ago. I live in Georgia, and I always make this casserole for Thanksgiving! It's amazing.
That's when we usually had it, too (because it makes a 9x13, big enough for all). But Mom would bust it out some other times, too, winter, mostly when it was cold. Comfort food. Try it sometime with the water chestnuts. Gives crunchy texture. So if I remember right, the other one was : two cans of cream of whatever soup plus half of an envelope of dry onion soup mixed with 1 1/4 C parboiled rice, small can (4 oz) evaporated milk. Stir, throw into the casserole dish, place chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with remaining onion soup mix. Cover it, 350F oven, walk away for an hour and fifteen minutes. Think that's it. Used to be great to throw it into the oven and study while dinner was cooking.
I never knew cheese wiz could be an ingredient in something. Actually, I didn't know they still sold that.
Cheese wiz? You're a real feinschmecker.
when the two dudes sit together, that's when you know the videos is hobnobbed gold. That, and the leather jacket dude.
Madeleine Chen they are brothers so they have the craic and play off each other really well cause they have been doing it their whole lives 😊
Tuna and noodle casserole..YUM! I love casseroles because I grew up on them.

+Sean M lol...could be a good one alright
I need to see this, specifically I want the guy with the long hair, beard and leather jacket to critique it. He's the best.
Ah man, the two brothers. HA! Their motto should be: "Criticize everything, love everything, eat everything."
Casseroles cooking slowly in the oven were also another way to warm the kitchen/house during the cold winter months.
Me and the guy who said he hates cheese could never be friends. lol
Cheese is the binder that holds reality together.
I like the Irish hippie and the hot red heads...oh there are some others...WEAR NAME TAGS!

He doesn't like cheese.........hummm. Then why did he enjoy the cheese dishes the most. 😊.
me and him could we both love casserole
"I would never put noodles in the oven" do you not like lasagna?
she probably eats microwaved food
We call noodles the stringy things you eat with Asian food. Anything associated with Italian cooking is pasta.
Sure, I was referring to Claire's comment that she never puts noodles in the oven.
yes but noodles are LONG AND THIN.... hence noodles, spaghetti or linguini or something similar.. pasta like lasagne is sheets, like macaroni is shells, or fusilli is little bits.... so that comes under the classification as pasta!, just saying you know? i will explain simply.... most english and europeans make stew... now mostly stew is meat, and vegetables in a sauce of some kind, and casserole is the same here in europe... the only difference is we cook a stew on the the hobs of the cooker... where as casserole is cooked in the oven... so do we call different names? yes.... are they basically 'pretty much the same'? guess what? YES ^_^ do we call both casserole or stew? no....
I agree! The secret is to undercook the pasta a little so it does not get soggy and mushy when you bake all the ingredients together.
Tuna casserole is better with crushed potato chips on top rather than bread crumbs.
Same with mac and cheese!!!
@@MontgomeryWenis cheetos or frosted flakes then potato chips

Im overly obsessed with these videos!
If it can be served with a serving spoon, is not a liquid, and if what you're trying to make can best be made in a casserole dish: then it's a casserole.
The whole world is obsessed.

Not sure when casseroles were thought up, but my grandmother told me that they were a way to feed huge families. They also became the signature dish brought to most Christmas dinners, and to the homes of people who recently lost a family member.
Especially here in the deep south. My grandmother died in the 80s. My grandfather had 14 casseroles brought over by friends and relatives. He froze them, and ate them for months. True story.
I'm not a fan of casseroles, but I do love scalloped potatoes.
The last two guys are fricken adorable. 😂
Los hermanos Sharpson. They crack me up.
So cute!
Full length version of the casserole rap please.
+Nadia Mohamed Sharpson brothers FTW
Donal strayed from the casserole theme at the end.
He's basically just channeling Wayne Brady at this point. x3
Your comment is such GOLD XD
The casserole rap is legit
these reactions from the people who gave us Shepherd's Pie..lol
My family grew up on what we called Super Supper.
Mashed potatoes on the bottom, then a layer of corn, then ground beef with a little tomato sauce mixed in, topped with cheese. Bake it all and you just fed a family of 7 for under $10.
So basically casserole is another term for bake? Because at least three of those dishes would of been called a bake here in Australia. Tuna Pasta Bake (Tuna Noodle Casserole), Macaroni Cheese Bake (Mac 'N' Cheese Casserole) and Potato Bake (Scalloped Potato Casserole).
The name comes from the type of baking dish you prepare it in and not the dish itself. It's like when a brand name takes over the definition of a product (i.e. hoover = vacuum , pamper = diaper/nappy, Q-tip = cotton swab)
Ah, I see. That makes a lot of sense. We have a few incidences of that here in Australia too. (doona = duvet, esky = cooler, breville = pressed cheese toastie).
+Katrina Lee-Baldwin ~ That seems like a bit of a "chicken or the egg" explanation. If the food is called casserole because it was cooked in a casserole dish, why was the casserole dish called a "casserole dish" in the first place?
+sari c ~ Yes, it does sound like they're the same types of food by different names. Also similar is the English "Bubble and Squeak", although I don't know if that's used for different varieties.
Jakk Frost Bubble and Squeak must be different in England than it is in Australia then. Here it's leftover mash, veggies, sausage (or ham/bacon if there was no sausage leftover) chopped and mixed together with egg and a bit of flour to form a batter, and then poured and fried in a frypan like little savoury pancakes. There is no baking involved whatsoever.
My initial thought to be honest when I noticed that casserole seemed to be synonymous with bake was that it was perhaps the same difference as cookie and biscuit - cookie being a loanword from the Dutch-American settlers (from the old New Netherlands colony in present day New York/former New Amsterdam region) replacing the English word biscuit in American English.
Casserole looks distinctly French to me. If it was such a borrowing could it perhaps been borrowed into American English from the French settlements?
sari c ~ Well, I don't live in England, haven't for over 35 years, I'm just going by what my Mum called it when she made it. Sometimes a frying pan was used, sometimes she baked it in the oven, but it was always leftovers with something else thrown in to fill the meal out a bit.
The girl reacting to his initial disgust - like the tuna noodle casserole is going to explode.. she’s scared out her mind.. the look of utter terror..
OMGosh- 👀😂
well from what i remember being told when i was younger by my grandmother (really little, actually. i have no idea why my grandmother felt the need to go into an hour or so long history lesson about all the different - mostly terrifying - concoctions featuring gelatin + mayonnaise when i was maybe 5 years old but she sure as shit did and even though i grew up in the 90's and the US had long since recovered from the great depression of the 1930's, we were still poor as fuck and this had casseroles and such on the regular.
*SUDDEN DAMN NEAR BRILLIANT IDEA HERE! GIMME A THUMBS UP IF YOU'RE AS INTERESTED AS I AM IN WATCHING THE LOVELY PEOPLE OF FACTS TASTE TEST AMERICAN DEPRESSION-ERA DISHES, SUCH AS ham and bananas hollandaise OR ring-around-the-tuna*
she used to go into tangents about why certain popular dishes - such as casseroles - were a very direct way to take the "pulse of a nation", and yes that is a direct quote. it might have been odd getting economic cooking lessons, which were actually what my grandma called "Homemaking Lessons" cause she's be damned if she made the same mistakes with her granddaughter that she did with her own daughters since for some reason she didn't think either my mom or aunt were ideal wife or mother material (strictly in the cooking and sewing department not the supporting your husband and raising kids that felt nurtured and loved kind of way - you know, what matters) despite them both being wives AND mothers. either way, i have to give her mad props since i can now sew a dress out of curtains and cook a damn fine casserole while telling you the importance of said casserole in US history, AND i can still quote all her little saying - such as the "pulse of a nation" 22 years later.
oh, and the two nasty ass dishes i listed were both from a Cracked article ( www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/7-gross-foods-your-grandparents-ate-that-we-taste-tested/ ), but i'd be happy to share some yummier teats. i actually have a cookbook that has been passed down three generations now and has oh so many dishes from the great depression and such. real talk though - get on this facts!
Maybe the need to give long history lessons is genetic.
Score yourself 10 internets. That was just freaking funny.
that would be amazing, i've got a recipe for shrimp wiggle that my grandma still makes occasionally
I feel like they would have "gotten" the whole concept more if you had shown them the casserole inside the casserole dish. Otherwise, right, what is it, it's just a pile of unrelated foods. Also, a "scallop" is just a shape, not a thing. Scallops the shellfish are named that because of their shape.
Does kind of make the mind ponder the possibility of a "scalloped scallops" casserole, though.
possibly the scallop shape is called that because of the shellfish not vice versa
I think you're right about the casserole dish - the word "casserole" comes from the French for a pan or dish - it's meant to be a complete meal cooked in one dish.
I believe the casserole really caught on in America during the Great Depression - it was a good way to prepare and use food efficiently, combining staples like pasta, rice, beans, potatoes, and corn with leftovers, and whatever of the more expensive, perhaps perishable luxury foods you could find a good bargain on - which is why it often seems to consist of foods that normally wouldn't go together. It seems to me that two of the common denominators for a casserole are cheese, and some sort of crunchy topping (bread crumbs or bacon bits are favorites.)
I bet just about every American family that's been here since the depression has their own family recipe for casserole, and I like to invent my own after planned meals run out, and before grocery shopping, to make use of whatever there is in the cabinets and refrigerator. (Chili casseroles are great stuff! Spaghetti sauce and pasta can be combined with all sorts of stuff and topped with cheese and so on for a good casserole; I like to put beans, canned tomatoes, chopped onions, and so on in that. Prepared pinto beans with corn bread batter on top can be baked until the cornbread is done, and makes a great casserole.....)
When you grow up with them, those casseroles really hit that spot - I
find Tuna Casserole and Scalloped Potato Casseroles to be great "comfort
foods", they really seem to pick up the spirits on a bad day.
Casseroles seem so obvious, it never really occurred to me that other countries might not have that tradition - I guess a loose equivalent in Ireland and the UK might be stews or shepherd's pie? (Pot pies are similar, too, but I suspect that's another American thing.) Seems like stews, pot pies, shepherd's pie, and so on were similarly efficient ways of using food and rotated well with casseroles to keep my family going through the recessions in the 1970s and since, and hit a similar "comfort food" spot for me.
+Pietyr Ayday Austria (and Germany as well I suppose) has casseroles too - they are called "Auflauf" and either consist of potatoes, cream, egg, cheese, ham and/or broccoli or pasta and other stuff. There is also a sweet dish called Scheiterhaufen (really bizarre name, that's the construction used to burn witches in the middle ages) consisting of milk, eggs, cinnamon, apples and stale bread. In France, there's gratinated potatoes, in Italy, lasagna, and I'm sure there are lots of other similar dishes in many different countries.
I've never understood the difference between "scalloped potatoes" and "au gratin potatoes" and "cheesy potatoes"...they're all kind of sliced potatoes in milk butter and cheese with some flour right? Or have I just made them all the same thing in my head?
This has been my favorite to all of your reaction videos (I also love the drinking ones) 🤣😂🤣 So happy I stumbled upon your channel!! You guys are hilarious 💙💙

So you make actual green bean casserole for this video, but you gave green beans with cashews for the Thanksgiving episode? C'mon man!
KingInky13 SERIOUSLY. This green bean casserole is my life on Thanksgiving.
IKR?!
I was thinking the exact same 😂😂
@Soso Notchurbusiness i perfer shredded chicken with broccoli n cheese casserole then what u suggested
but to each their own :)
Three or more ingredients which is placed into one container and baked in oven. The green bean casserole [your first one] is a tradition in many American homes for holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I've literally just spent eight plus hours of my life watching Facts and a) obsessing over your accents and b) ogling all of you because are all Irish people this cute? More please.

Nah I'm not that cute sorry to disappoint...
I absolutely love leather jacket guy❤❤❤❤❤. And the brothers are so funny and adorable!
Casserole = hot dish. Iowa Breakfast casserole: eggs. 85 eggs. 4 lbs cheese. an entire loaf of bread soaked in butter to line the holding apparatus, throughout the whole thing, and ~sprinkled~ over the top. Meat optional. Bake for 3 days. People die when they eat it.
Pretty accurate description of casseroles. lol. But I do love them! We eat casseroles every Thanksgiving and Christmas!
The red headed girl in the beginning of the video has a Philip Defranco shirt on!!! The Nation continues to grow!
She is a popular Irish UA-camr called Clisare you can often here her voice behind the camera .
Rice is a good, cheap, filling base for a lot of casseroles too, so they're not just based on noodles and potatoes.

I'm very upset that they didn't do tater tot casserole because it's delicious and I eat it at least three times a month. I don't care that it's a midwestern thing everyone everywhere should eat it.
Kaelyn Armstrong there are lots of comments agreeing with you
Kaelyn Armstrong damn I almost for got about tater tot casserole
Because it's the grossest casserole that's why
What do they eat ,oatmeal , bread , and potato’s , oh with tea and milk .😩
jfc that sounds like a heart attack. i want to eat one immediately lol
You forgot "Funeral Potatoes" (casserole); it is a Utah favorite.
Boris Beverton I grew up hearing them called "Lutheran Funeral Potatoes"
In my neck of the woods they certainly are not Lutheran.
American's Test Kitchen did a take on Funeral Potatoes, they put crushed sour cream and onion potato chips on top. I tried the recipe and thought it good. A bit too salty, but good.
People that add bacon or ham to their Funeral Potatoes... that isn't Funeral Potatoes... it is like adding bacon to a grilled cheese sandwich and calling it a grilled cheese.
Funeral potatoes are a southern dish too.
This just reminded me how much I miss casseroles since I have lived alone for 10 years. Casseroles were a staple for the first 20 years of my life. I miss them all.
The Sharpson brothers though 😍
Irish People do the Cinnamon Challenge! 😂😂😂
Doctor I'm having fish fingers and custard
That's not even a challenge for people with common sense.
That is honestly dangerous, no.
Cinnamon Challenge is actually super dangerous
It would be like others only a lot more cursing
I meeeeeaaaaaaaan to be fair, shepards pie is basically a casserole
Shepherd's
A casserole is basically leftover food that's been repurposed into a new food. 😊
That's not entirely true. Tuna casserole and mac 'n' cheese for example aren't made with leftovers
James Crane I wouldn't consider mac n cheese to be a casserole though. No matter what they say.
Green bean casserole is a fair point though.
But the purpose of a casserole really is to use leftovers
James Crane sorry, tuna casserole*
Green bean is another haha
Casseroles...Hotdish... its not re purposed leftovers its fancy refrigerator review
Great comment !
Should have had them try tater tot casserole. It's the best.
Nate Hladki right watching this i want to cook one for them so they can try the best version! lol
Omg! Is that the one with cream of chicken and cream of onion and tona of cheese??? Cuz thats my favorite casserole ever
I think they have, and did nothing but bitch about it.
You should cream of mushroom and tomato soup, and french cut green beans.
I'm from Minnesota and I concur.
A casserole is a deep pan used for baking. It's a meal that was made to feed a large amount of people for little money. Also, a lot of times utilizing leftovers from the meal the night before.
I want Davey's Nightwing cap. Oy Davey, notice me. I want that cap.
We need to wrestle over it :)
Ikr it looks so dope
😂😂😃😃😂😂
Agreed! But i also love the color of his eyes 👀💙
From the states never heard of corn cassrole. I live in the south and the casseroles that these people just ate would make my grandma spin in her grave. Where in the hell was sweet potato casserole!?
These all looked very kid-western, which I feel is appropriate. When I think "American casserole," that's what I think of.
Kenny Powers mmmmmm sweet potato
Corn casserole is more of a corn belt staple, they used way too much cheese and not enough cornbread mix.
In the trash where it belongs....
I think they were going for hominy casserole but failed
In the United States and continental Europe casseroles usually consist of pieces of meat (such as chicken) or fish (such as tuna), various chopped vegetables, a starchy binder such as flour, rice, potato or pasta, and often a crunchy or cheesy topping.[2] Liquids are released from the meat and vegetables during cooking, and further liquid in the form of stock, wine, beer (for example lapin à la Gueuze), gin, cider, or vegetable juice may be added when the dish is assembled. Casseroles are usually cooked slowly in the oven, often uncovered. They may be served as a main course or a side dish, and may be served in the vessel in which they were cooked.
Casserole? I think you mean hotdish. Well that's a dead giveaway of where I'm from.
Are you from Iowa?
Wisconsin that's what we call it
And in Italian a casserole is a jambotte...meaning clean out the refrigerator and cook it all in one dish.
Dear Facts,
Please let me make the food for you. It'll be better that way.
Love,
Grahame
NorthWriter ,
NorthWriter that's how i feel too
Hell. i would not have eaten that crap.. Where is the tater-tot casserole , tuna fish casserole , Nacho supreme casserole , Broccoli and rice casserole . And that scalloped potato would have been better with ground beef and peas.
@@SYZYGYCULT-that was tuna spaghetti bake. NOT Tuna casserole.And I saw no mushrooms , olives , peas or cream of mushroom sauce. Also not all noodles are the same. Were you not paying attention?
@@hoppermantis7615 Egg noodles are a must imo.
I'm American and I know nothing of the origin of casserole, but I love them. And I loved the Sharpson freestyle. Very nice boys 💚💚
I think I'm in love with Donal
Giiiirl, aren't we all?
We don't think it...we KNOW it! :0)
agreed
Oh, yes. 😍
Lol I think it's cute that they consider macaroni and cheese a casserole..Where I live now, even tho it's made in the oven then sat for 9 hours it's just 'THA MACARONI N CHEESE' 😂😂 Love luv lurve their Irish accents
Tree tumbs oop 😉
it is a casserole.
i love the honesty in these
Contents of a Facts video comments section, in order of assistance;
1) Notification squad
2) People complaining that they're from X where they don't have Y
3) Nadia
4) People asking if this is Buzzfeed
5) (Optional) Racists
6) The rest of us
Nadia Mohamed sure, but I'm mostly "The rest of us", internet access isn't always good enough to let me join the "Notification squad"
ussually they are regional things that are in one resterant that are not real things. This video though everything except the corn one are very common.
Nadia Mohamed oh I get the notifications, then pop the UA-cam app open and it sits and buffers and buffers.
But 930 Dublin time is handy, that's 930 Belfast time too :)
+Nadia Mohamed Thank you
+Nadia Mohamed I'll have my phone ready at 925, sitting urging it to suck in more internet for Facts comments.
Love Donal and John, so cute. Ok when are you going to make them watch Russian Road Rage vids??
My grandmother made these in the 1950s and my mom in the 1960s and 1970s. I haven't seen or eaten one since then, but perhaps some Americans still bake and consume casseroles? When they were popular, I know they were considered easy to make and inexpensive. This was a good combination for a busy middle class American family many years ago.
those brothers are awesome
"Tastes like my second year geography class." LOL
Oh lol lol watching them trying our food... Is funny!😄😄😄😋
The guys are cracking me up! Lol
They love everything!😋😋😋💓
"Gunk with stuff on it." "Ingredients that should be separate, but you force them together." Yup, that's pretty much what a casserole is.
I've never actually had green-bean casserole, though I've heard of it. I wonder if it's my area, or just my family. There are all theses commercials that mention it around the holidays, and I'm just "nope, not on my radar." Haven't had tun casserole, but that's because I can't stand tuna. My mom used to make it, but fortunately never made me eat it, since the smell of Tuna alone is enough to make me queasy. Never heard of corn casserole (that's definitely an area thing I'm sure). Mac and Cheese casserole... that's... pretty much just home-made mac and cheese. I think my grandma made mac and cheese that way when she made it, but that was a while ago so the memory's a bit hazy. Again, scalloped potato casserole just looks like regular scalloped potatoes, just pressed together really hard. Which I inexplicably don't like despite liking both potatoes and cheese. Just not together.
Generally, my favorite casseroles are pizza-rice casserole (rice, spaghetti sauce, ground beef, several types of cheese, topped with melted cheese) and chicken or turkey casserole (chicken/turkey, noodles, cream of chicken soup, and assorted vegetables (typically green beans, peas, and corn, though I prefer just green beans or no vegetables. I don't like the sweetness of the peas and corn with the saltiness of the meat and soup). Oh, and hamburger casserole, which is like pizza rice casserole with noodles instead of rice and less cheese.
seatbelttruck ...Wow had all of those, are you from TX also
Nope. Not even close. My dad's from VA though, which is at least the South, so maybe that has something to do with it?
How do you not have Green Bean Casserole on Thanksgiving?
I've seen them eat green bean casserole twice. Both times it doesn't look like any green bean casserole I've had.
I’ve been watching these videos for years. I don’t know why they are so addicting.
Fun fact: You can make a hashbrown casserole xD
So....casserole is basicalle "Imma make some deep dish food in an oven"?
Nadia Mohamed Works for me.
Cheap and easy and often time delicious.
Casseroles are also great because they can feed a lot of people for cheap. It's basically "gotta feed the family and all we have is X, Y and Z. Well, toss 'em all together and bake it!" :)
hit the nail on the head
Another great benefit of casseroles is that they're very easy to reheat as leftovers.
I have NEVER been served Scalloped potatoes with ham in it. Never even heard of doing it. And I'm a Casserole Kid (early 70's to early 80's, parents both worked, casserole assembled the night before, children come home from school alone, bake the casserole, parents arrive from work in time to eat at six.) It's the culinary version of being called a "Latch Key Kid."
Irish people watch Game of Thrones for the first time. Yeah, it make be internationally viewed, but not everyone has seen it!
*may
This is now a reality, and Dermot Ward was the one telling Tommen the trial was about to start.
There was a guy from Facts. on the season finale of Game of Thrones.
Holy shit! This happened
+Jackie Rosas probably not because of you tho
John and Donal are too cute ❤ And Daveyy ❤❤❤
I 💯💯 agree with John...& Davey 👀💙🥰
A casserole (French: diminutive of casse, from Provençal cassa, 'pan') is a kind of large, deep pan or bowl used for cooking a variety of dishes in the oven; it is also a category of foods cooked in such a vessel.
In my experience casseroles are leftovers that you turn into a different meal and bake it with cheese. Sorta like soup, make roast chicken one night turn the leftovers into chicken soup. Made a ham dinner and have a lot of leftover ham, make a ham and potato casserole. It's just cost efficient. 🤷🏻♀️
Not always left overs. I can make a pretty good one with simple, but tasty ingredients I just go.
I wonder if they know that Sheppard's pie is also a casserole? :D
Good point. It has all the makings of one.
“I hate Tuna it smells horrible.” Second later “It’s alright.”
Why is the description of second year geography so relevant to me
"This looks awful. I'm going to hate it." "Oh, wow! That's really good!"
"This looks awful, too. It'll be disgusting." "Yay! So delicious!"
"Okay, guys, now THIS one will be bad." "Oh, I love it!"
"Okay, for real now, guys! I'll DEFINITELY get sick from this one." "SO TASTY!"
Etc, etc, etc.
Micky won't like it. He hates everything....but then
not always if you are from Minnesota you call it a hot dish
When I lived in Minnesota they called it goulash which irked me every time since goulash is a specific dish.
@barb rarick I'm from Indiana and that is all so true, lol.
Whoever cooked the Mac & cheese ought to be smacked....
Add diced ham to Mac & Cheese casseroles. Delish.
Absolutely!
right? It's SO WRONG!
