Add carrots, garlic. Some worcester sauce or HP sauce can add a delicious depth to a casserole.

I've never put garlic in a casserole before. Come to think of it I don't know why not ... just does not see like it would work really. Worcester sauce is a good idea though

Im not entirely certain on what a casserole is?

A meat (usually) and vegetable dish cooked in liquid. There are many different types

Stew, basically.

The main difference to me is that I'd cook stew in a pan on a hob and casserole in a flat dish in an oven.

In the Southern USA, a casserole is more solid than a stew. It's can have pasta in it or crust over it. It will usually be a "complete meal" (meat, veggie, starch all in one), and is served by cutting pieces out. When put on a plate, the pieces will stand on their own, more or less, except for any juice that flows out. It has little liquid, though, and will be held together by things like eggs, cornstarch, cheese, etc.

I see. I don't think I've ever made a casserole then. Unless lasagna counts?

Pots and pans, hmm.
I think we all agree on what a frying pan is, even if some like to call it a skillet.
And you probably all agree on what a saucepan is.
But to me, a pot isn't metal, it's, well, pottery or in these modern times glass or pyrex. So from frying pan and saucepan, all metal stove-top cooking items are pans although the larger ones aren't really saucepans. (Metal items that go in the oven are tins, like cake tins and bread tins, or baking trays.)
And pots always have lids. If it doesn't have a lid, it's a dish. (Dish is a very broad term - dishes can have lids and may be for serving, not oven use.)

It's meat and veg slow cooked in gravy - the casserole name comes from the dish/pot it's cooed in. You wouldn't really put pasta or anything else in (potatoes, maybe) and it wouldn't have a crust. That would be a pie, here.

Can you imagine if we were all abandoned on a desert island with a bunch of ingredients and kitchen utensils and told to produce a casserole? There'd be a murder within the first hour.
Still, extra protein.

Here, pots go on the stove and are made of metal. Pans (also metal) go in the oven. Frying pans are shallow pans with a long handle that you fry with. We don't use the term "tin" except for the metal of that name. A casserole is a mix of food, often with pasta but other ingredients too. It's never very gravy-ish.

So it would appear that in Australia we use British pan for frying pan or saucepan and Canadian pot for like soup pots and things and then we do also use tin for cake tin to go in the oven. A casserole dish to me would be like a le crueset pot or something, with a lid. Most of my pots have lids but so does my saucepan which I would still call a pot anyhow. So what would people call a ceramic dish for baking something like a lasagna in an oven? Cos that I'd call a baking dish, not a pot or pan or anything else.
