Casseroles

Casseroles, strata, hot dishes, gratins–one-pot dishes are not only delicious, but they’re also easy and convenient. Here’s out entire list.

Casseroles are the original one-pot meal. Think about it, in one dish you can have your proteins, carbs, and vegetables. All you have to do is toss it in the oven and wait. (Well, that’s the hard part.)

They’re ideal because they can work for weeknights and weekends. For family and company. A frozen casserole can make it to the table in under an hour. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

Our most popular casserole recipes

There are a lot of them. First, you can never go wrong with Ina Garten or her Baked Pasta with Tomatoes & Eggplant. Simple, easy, and relatively healthy. We have the classic, too, like Green Bean Casserole, Tuna Noodle Casserole made in an Instant Pot, and a good old tetrazzini.

Breakfast

If breakfast is more your thing, don’t miss our Asparagus, Egg, and Cheese Strata. I’ve made it a gazillion times, and everyone loved it. The best part: You make it a day ahead. There’s also our Sausage Egg Casserole. Another overnight dish that makes breakfast a breeze. And my Croque Monsieur Casserole, made with croissant, ham, cheese, and a luscious béchamel sauce, is comfort food talent to the next level. It does double duty as lunch and breakfast.

Tex-Mex

Craving Tex-Mex casseroles? We’ve got you covered. Chicken Enchiladas and Black Bean Enchiladas. with this recipe, you can mix and match meat and meat. Our Spicy Beef Taco Bake. (We really should call it our ground-beef casserole, cuz there is a ton in there.) While the great Midwest is the birthplace of so many casseroles, it’s Texas that takes the credit for King Ranch Chicken. And they should be proud.  Layers of chicken, roasted peppers, and tortillas smothered in cheese are gobsmackingly delicious.

Portuguese

Portugal isn’t known for casseroles, per see. At least not in the way Americans think of them. But there is one dish, and it’s a favorite in our house: Bacalhau à Gômes de Sá. Layers of salt cod, potatoes, caramelized onions, and olives are baked until bubbly brown. Fantastico!
