Nothing much. Technically I think casserole is cooked in a pot in the over and stew is on a hob.

In practice, stews normally seem to have more liquid and are a bit more soupy. They (in my mind) should also have dumplings

Pretty much the same and actually though some think casserole is for oven, not really the case. Casserole also is the dish itself.

Don't you cook a stew in a casserole? Isn't it the name of a metal lidded pot? Or is that a cassolet? Which is probably French for casserole. Oh I don't know... anyone fancy a pint?

I didn't think there was any difference.

Stew in a stewpot, casserole in a casserole dish.

Well, I looked it up: A casserole is a deep pan for cooking with. Medieval origin, French word.

Not the way I make stew. After about 3 hours hob time with the lid on, I take it off for another 1hr 30mins (or so) until reduced down and you can stand the spoon up in it. I also only use alcohol the liquid to stew everything in (different booze for different meat).

A good long cooked thick boozy stew is also one of my favourite dishes. Especially when served in half a scooped out crusty loaf as a bowl.

Stew is cooked in a pot over heat and casserole in a pot (usually earthenware) surrounded by heat in an oven or covered by embers etc

Stews generally are more liquidy.

I keep telling you Sir that what you make is a beef and ale casserole and not a bloody stew! Stew is supposed to have more liquid. You are wrong and I am right. Stew is the kind of dish that I make in the slow cooker. Stew is like the the stuff we get at events.

Another difference is in a stew you simmer the meat (stew). Casseroles you often brown the meat before putting it in the oven.

Mum and dads stew:

Shin of beef

Carrots

Leeks

Onions

Swede

Beef stock and tomato purée

Salt and pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

Combine, bring to the boil, reduce and cook until veggies soft. Then add suet dumplings and cook for another 20 mins.

Always better next day too.

This is very similar to Scouse (Irish stew in some parts)

Ok. Our stews were always a delightful dark orange. Not the brown stew you got elsewhere.

The pot would serve 5 over three days!

Incorrect My Girl and I make stews with different booze and meats too. My thick stew is a stew and its bloody good. We will address this issue later in person. It would appear you are in need of some correction.
