💭 Tips for success
Before getting started on these cozy fall casserole recipes, here are a couple of helpful tips to keep in mind:
- For skillet casseroles that bake in the oven, be sure to use an oven-safe skillet-my favorite is cast iron. Plastic handles, for example, will melt!
- Try swapping tater tots into potato casserole recipes that use frozen or diced, pre-cooked potatoes. It's a fun way to switch things up!
- Melty cheese casseroles are best when you grate the cheese fresh from a block. It tastes much creamier than pre-shredded, bagged cheese.
- Heads up! Cream-of soups generally have gluten in them, so if you're making a gluten-free casserole, be sure to buy a certified GF alternate.
- No leftover chicken? Using rotisserie chicken is an easy way to make recipes that call for cooked meat. (Bonus, save the carcass for stock!)
- If your casserole dish is really full and you can't get a good grip or are worried it'll bubble over in the oven, place it on a heavy baking sheet. This'll make it easier to handle and catch any runaway drips!
- You can prep, assemble, and refrigerate most casserole recipes before baking them to make the dinner rush easier. Just let the cold casserole dish sit at room temperature for a bit before putting it into the hot oven.
- Double your ingredients, then assemble one casserole in a regular baking dish for dinner and the rest in a foil baking dish. Seal the foil dish up and freeze it for an easy meal another time or to give away.
