17 Hearty Casseroles Your Family Will Love

Let’s talk about casseroles—or rather, let’s just eat casseroles! I’m a huge fan of one-pan baked dishes, especially when they’re hearty and comforting and perfect for lunch or dinner for a whole family.

The great thing about so many casseroles is that they are forgiving, so once you make the recipes a few times, you can really customize them to your family’s preferences and tastes.
