Fall is the season for cozy, crowd-pleasing casseroles that fill your home with warmth and delicious aromas. In the same standard 9×13-inch casserole dish, you can make anything, from creamy chicken bakes to cheesy veggie dishes.
These casseroles use simple ingredients like shredded chicken, ground beef, potatoes, pantry staples, and my family recipes. Whether you’re feeding a family or prepping for a potluck, these one-dish meals make autumn cooking a breeze.
With quick-prep options like dump-and-bake meatballs or nostalgic classics like sweet potato casserole, there’s something for every home cook and the pickiest eaters! Most recipes come together in a single pan, and many are freezer-friendly for easy meal planning, so you can get weekly meals done in one sitting!
