A friend of mine hates soup, and claims that casseroles are just soup without enough water. LOL
I've always heard it called casserole. Although when people ask me what I call something I've made, my standard response is, "It's called Food Pile".
DH & I eat a lot of Food Pile.

In California, I grew up calling them casseroles (from my Nebraska born mom). I married a picky eater who refuses to eat "casseroles" - but loves my lasagna, and enchiladas (even if I just layer them) and a lot of crock pot stuff that isn't too far from.... But around my house we don't serve "casseroles". My DIL has thanked me many times for raising a son who will try anything and eat most of it.

Years ago we called them cover dishes (I think because they had lids). Then, as the actual dishes changed, the term casseroles was frequently used. Of course, with the addition of Crockpots, the term covered dish would still apply.
