I have always called them casseroles. Grew up in So CA and now in Texas, don't think I have heard them called anything else but it will be interesting to see. I put in where I was from and am now as I am guessing that some of the names may be regional.

Virginia, Alabama, Texas....all called a "casserole". They usually consist of a mixture of ingredients in a baking dish, often with a lid, and are occasionally taken to a "pot luck/church supper/take-a-dish" type of meal to share and serve several people.

That's funny! I didn't realize until just now that I knew them as interchangeable. If someone said, I made a casserole
it meant a main dish of meat, sauce and usually noodles of some kind. If someone said "I'll bring a hot dish", it meant the main course dish, usually in a casserole container. A cold dish was salad or dessert. Tomato, to-ma-to. lol
