Who doesn’t love a good old casserole for dinner? They are perfect for weeknight cooking because in most cases you just put everything together in your baking dish and let the oven do the work. For the most part casseroles are made up of a starch, at least one protein, maybe a vegetable or two and then something to act as a sauce or other binder – because no one likes a dry casseroles.
One of the most important thing you will need to make a great casserole is a great baking dish. I like to have both 13×9 and 8×8 sizes – as some casseroles do better split between two smaller dishes to ensure even cooking.
And without further adieu – here are XX Casseroles Recipes from the blog!
Sausage & Zucchini Casserole – Zucchini and sausage is such a great flavor combination. Add in some pasta and three cheeses and you have a great meal. Sausage & Zucchini Casserole is a delicious weeknight meal that the whole family will devour.
Comfort Casserole – All the classic comfort foods of a southern Sunday Dinner, layered up on in a hearty casserole. Comfort Casserole has your mashed potatoes and gravy mixed up with crispy chicken, corn and bacon – and then sprinkled with some cheese – because why not?
Cheesy Beef & Potato Casserole – Some nights you just need a really hearty meal that will stick to your ribs. This recipe for Cheesy Beef & Potato Casserole fits the bill! The layers of flavor in this casserole are simple but so delish. You are likely to have most of the ingredients on hand.
Baked Meatball Mac & Cheese – Comfort food is a staple in my house. Some people have a more stringent definition of what comfort food is – but for me, it’s any food that makes you feel like you are home. Basically any types of food that you can taste the love in. This Meatball Mac & Cheese is exactly that.
Sausage & Polenta Casserole – Polenta is not frequently used in casseroles – and I have absolutely no idea why. It is such a nice change from pasta or rice casseroles. You get a different texture and flavor that your family is going to adore. Sausage & Polenta Casserole is a simple weeknight meal, that is very quick to put together.
Mushroom Chicken & Wild Rice Casserole – If you are looking for rustic hearty meal with creamy and rich flavors – you came to the right place! The combination of mushrooms, wild rice and a cream sauce pair so beautifully in this chicken casserole. Mushroom Chicken & Wild Rice Casserole is a wonderful weeknight meal that will be sure to make everyone happy. A cold wintery evening is perfect for this belly warming meal.
Alfredo Chicken & Potatoes – Do you ever just get a craving for a very specific taste? The other day when deciding what to make for dinner, all I could think about was some cheesy garlicky alfredo sauce – but we had had pasta the night before and two days before that. So I put on my thinking cap and decided to give Alfredo Chicken & Potatoes a try and it was worth the risk, indeed!
Grammy’s Sausage Casserole – My husband asked me to try to make a dish that he grew up eating at his Grammy’s house. He had a basic idea of what was in it, but most of the ingredients are not exactly homemade – cream of chicken, chicken noodle soup from a packet – and I just didn’t want to make it that way. So I decided to brighten up the flavor as well as make it from whole ingredients. This is my version of Grammy’s Sausage Casserole.
Chili Cheese Dog Mac – Chili Cheese Dog Mac is – a combination of two classic comfort foods into on delicious casserole dish. A homemade creamy mac and cheese layered up with a simple chili and lots of cheese! Your family is going to love this hearty casserole.
Creamy Bratwurst Casserole – A delicious rosemary cream sauce baked over bratwurst, potatoes, and green beans – comfort food at its finest! The cream sauce is so easy to make but has such a rich and inviting creamy flavor. And the potatoes and green beans cook up to the perfect texture with just enough bite but cooked through.
Cheesy Bacon Mushroom Casserole – This recipe started out with a craving for a Bacon Mushroom Cheeseburger and a lack of desire to go to the grocery store to get the things I needed to make that (namely buns). I actually already had the mushrooms, bacon, cheese and ground beef on hand. So I stood in front of pantry for a little while and wandered over to the fridge for a quick inventory. And that’s how Cheesy Bacon Mushroom Casserole came to be.
