What are the five components of a casserole?

Answer by  patti (29325)

The five components are the base, binder, extender, starch and protein. The binder is usually stock or a sauce of some kind. A crust or crunchy topping adds texture and flavor.

That's a tricky one. I remember that you have the base, the extender and the binder. I can't remember the two last components.
