I’ve always loved a good casserole. There is something about a meal in one, often held together with a cheesy or savory sauce, that just warms you up and puts a smile on your face the moment you walk through the door and get hit by the aroma of bubbly goodness coming out of the oven.
Today, in the midst of a persistent winter where I’m at, I’m sharing some home run casserole recipes from myself and my friends. You’re sure to find a few new family favorites on this list!
French Onion Chicken Noodle Casserole
Simple ingredients join together for a flavorful ending!
Crock Pot Chili Cheese Casserole
A hearty casserole that’ll warm you up and stick to your bones!
Here is a link to the Crock Pot Casserole baker that Cris uses. I don’t own one but if I were to buy one, I think I’d get this pretty design…
Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole
There is something about poppy seeds and chicken that just take the meal up a notch and make you feel like you’re sitting in a Southern tea room!
Country Casserole
This is pretty much our family’s signature casserole. If someone in your family passes away, if you get sick, have a baby, break your legs (it happens), or suffer any other general malaise that renders itself to being a casserole opportunity, this is what you’ll get from us.
Make it with ham instead of chicken or leave the meat out altogether and double up on veggies, it’s easily customizable and always reliably good.
It is also the casserole that turned my husband’s “I don’t like casseroles” attitude around and is still his favorite after nearly two decades of being shackled to me.
Twice Baked Potato Casserole
I really feel the urgent need to make this casserole A.S.A.P….
Broccoli Cheddar Chicken and Rice Bake
I love all of the flavor combinations in this classic family friendly casserole.
Baked Tomato Casserole
When you find yourself longing for garden fresh tomatoes in the middle of winter, you can usually find some good enough to make this dish and the dish will take care of the rest 🙂
From Granny Jordan’s well worn recipe files, this quickly became a surprise hit with families around the world.
Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole
This is one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever seen done with spaghetti!
Creamy Chicken Bake
This is one of those dishes that makes you want to lean through the screen with a fork…
Wish List for Casserole Lovers!
The covered aluminum 9×13 pan is one of my essential pans. I absolutely love using this to travel with casseroles and cakes and it is perfect for storing in the refrigerator. With the budget friendly price, this is one dish everyone should have and you will find it becomes one of your most used!
On the right is the kind of baking dish we all dream about. Coated in a thick glaze that makes it easy to clean (even with baked on cheese and grease from meat), the lid makes life so much nicer when a recipe says “cover and bake” and also helps retain warmth and moisture once you remove it from the oven on those nights hubby or one of the kids are running later than expected!
These look so delicious! I will be making everyone of these! Possibly making extra and freezing with my food saver… Yay! Thanks so very much!
🙂 Your family is going to love you even more Brenda!!
It may seem strange to pour out your heart on a blog post comment, but I had to let you know my feelings. My husband and I are so blessed to be in our late fifties and have 4 living parents. I don’t think any of our peers have that. At the same time, there have been issues–some big and some small–to deal with. This casserole repost came along right before my mother-in-law suffered a fall and I need to do some make ahead meals for them. So far I have made the baked spaghetti casserole (I just subbed in rotini) and the poppy seed chicken casserole (but I used the one from the Taste of the South special casserole edition that you did last year…hope you’ll do another one). My mother, although recovered from some issues she had a few months ago, still tires easily and cannot hold up for long periods of time in the kitchen. She likes having a frozen casserole that she can pull out and bake any time she and my father desire. I am so blessed to have your cookbooks, your website, and a backlog of Taste of the South mags to pull casserole recipes from! I have more casserole making in my future and I have you to thank for making this easy on me.
I would like to give you and your readers a tip. Since our parents live alone, a large casserole is a little much for them. I found 7 inch round foil pans at our Super 10 store; the poppy seed chicken made 3 of them. I will take them this weekend when we see them and my father-in-law can pull them out at will. I will also take a baked spaghetti and a taco soup frozen in the same small pans. They love the small size and that they don’t have to eat leftover casserole for days on end!
It is so easy to tell how important family is to you when reading your blog. I am really counting my blessings to have 4 living parents and thanks again for the recipes that help me to care for them!
P.S. My father-in-law has a real sweet tooth and I am splitting up a pan of chocolate chip cookie bars into 2 different small square cake pans to freeze and a vanilla wafer cake into 3 small pans.
So Glad I found u!!!
ALL FABULOUS and helpful…
I had to laugh at “being shackled to me.” Marrying you probably was the best decision he ever made. : )
Christy,
I am not on Facebook, Twitter, etc.. so I am not sure this is the place to post , but when I read it I thought of *you*.
Maybe another time I can write and let you what a ‘gift’ you are to your family, Alabama, and the rest of us(:
Love & Appreciate you Christy~ God Bless and Keep- you, your family, and your “ministry”.
Love,
Susan

Here is the quote on *Attitude*:
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.”

Oh my goodness Susan, that is so true!!! This was the perfect place for you to share and I am so glad you did!!
It’s -15F here right now, and just looking at all these pictures is a treat! A hot casserole would surely help make another awfully cold day seem a little bit warmer. Thanks for sharing so many great ideas 🙂
Oh my goodness Quinn, that is COLD! I hope you stay warm!!!
Hi Christy, I saw photos of your snow plight on the news I am going to save several of these to try when our winter comes. Its to hot at the moment. Hope you are all safe and well.
Thank you Judi!! We are safe, well and warm! Blessed indeed!!
