5 Casseroles for Easy Dinners🥘
Published 11 days ago • 2 min read
Hi Reader!
I don’t make casseroles because they’re fancy 😂. I make them because I can get everything into one dish, put it in the oven and usually have enough for leftovers the next day.
So this week I pulled together some of my favorite casserole recipes for those nights when I want dinner to feel a little more hands-off. They’re filling, family-friendly and, most importantly, don’t leave me with a sink full of dishes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ground Beef Casserole
Ground beef, pasta, marinara, fresh basil, and mozzarella baked until golden and bubbly. It’s an easy family dinner and freezer-friendly, too.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chicken and Rice Casserole
Chicken breast with mushrooms and onions in a creamy sauce, baked over rice. It skips the canned soup and still comes out creamy and filling.
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Eggplant Pasta Casserole
Eggplant, pasta, marinara, and melty cheese all baked together into a hearty vegetarian dinner that feels filling without being too heavy.
|
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole
Chicken, broccoli, and rice bake together in one dish with a creamy sauce, so you get a full dinner without cooking everything separately first.

Hint: The pasta goes into the baking dish dry, so there’s one very obvious step you get to skip.

Casserole Night Made Easier
A good casserole is already pretty hands-off, but a few little things can make prep, baking and leftovers even easier.
Tip 1: Use the right size baking dish
Most casseroles are written for a 9×13-inch dish, and using something much smaller or deeper can change the bake time quite a bit.
Tip 2: Let it rest before serving
Give your casserole about 5–10 minutes after it comes out of the oven. It helps everything set up and makes it much easier to scoop.

9x13-inch Baking Dish
I like having a basic 9×13-inch dish that can go straight from the oven to the table. It’s also the size I use for so many of my casserole recipes.

Silicone Oven Mitts
These are great and especially helpful with heavier casserole dishes because they give me a better grip when I’m pulling a full pan out of the oven.
