There’s really never a time where you could go wrong making a casserole. They’re always warm, delicious, and easy to serve. And best of all, many casserole recipes work well as leftovers or freezer meals.

Can we get a “heck, yes!” for leftovers? In my opinion, there’s nothing better than leftovers. They mean that I either don’t have to cook another night, or I’ve got a lunch all ready to eat!

Casseroles can be great for small families too! You can make the recipe for a larger casserole and divide it into two 8” x 8” dishes. Eat one for dinner and cover the other with foil and put in a resealable freezer bag and pop it in the freezer for another night.

We’ve rounded up some of the best casserole recipes and put them all in one post just for you to browse. My family loves a good dinner with a “hot dish” since that’s what we call them here in Minnesota!

My daughter’s favorite one is Pizza Casserole, closely followed by Chicken Wild Rice Casserole!
