Casserole Recipes

A good casserole is a workhorse of the home kitchen: one dish, one oven, dinner for six, and leftovers that often taste even better the next day. These are familiar classics, including chicken and rice, tater tot, King Ranch, and tuna noodle casserole.

Most of these casseroles follow the same friendly formula: a protein, a starch, something creamy to bind it, and a topping that goes crunchy in the oven. That's also what makes them so easy to adapt to whatever's in your fridge — each recipe includes a substitution table so you can swap with confidence.

Nearly every recipe here can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated unbaked, or frozen for up to three months — which makes this page a favorite for meal preppers and anyone feeding a crowd.
