You just can’t beat a traditional casserole recipe! There’s something comforting when you dive into a hearty casserole for dinner. I grew up eating them for dinner, but we referred to them as Hot Dishes in Minnesota! Whatever you call them, casseroles or hot dishes, they are amazing. We have gathered the best casserole recipes for you today! We have Mexican inspired dishes, pasta, rice, Tater Tot and more! Make sure you start trying them on your meal plans today!
Casserole Recipes
You can’t go wrong with a casserole because they are warm, served in one dish and relatively easy to make. And best of all, many casserole recipes work well as leftovers or freezer meals.
Can we get a “Heck, yes!” for leftovers? There’s nothing better in my opinion because I either don’t have to cook another night or I can eat them for lunch.
If you have a small family simply make larger casseroles in two 8” x 8” dishes. Cover one with foil and put in a resealable freezer bag and pop it in the freezer for another night.
Don’t forget to grab the freezer meal labels I linked below!
My daughter’s favorite one is Pizza Casserole followed by Chicken Wild Rice Casserole!
The only question is which one are you going to try first?
This classic baked spaghetti casserole is taken over the top by adding a layer of Alfredo sauce in the noodles at the base. We also refer to this as Spasagna at our house! This spaghetti recipe is a delicious, comforting casserole that starts with a base of Alfredo noodles then is layered with a hamburger sauce and cheese. It makes a lot and is perfect to freeze half and enjoy as a freezer meal or feed a large crowd. Toss a salad together, throw some garlic bread in the oven and you have dinner!
