Bag containing second part for stew (9)

I believe the answer is:

casserole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stew' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bag containing second part' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'second' could be 's' (common abbreviation) and 's' is present in the answer.
'bag' could be 'case' (I have seen 'Overnight bag' mean 'case' so perhaps 'bag' could also mean 'case') and 'case' is found in the remaining letters.
'part' could be 'role' (eg a theatrical role) and 'role' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for casserole that I've seen before include "Meat dish" , "Large cooking dish" , "Cook slowly" , "Oven dish" , "Dish cooked in an earthenware pot" .)
