💭 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.
