Cheesy Southwestern Chicken CasseroleA casserole has a lot going for it: It’s a super-comforting meal that dirties just a single baking dish and feeds a crowd. But I’d argue the most incredible thing about this classic dish is how versatile it is. Gather together just about any ingredients and there’s a good chance you can turn them into a winning casserole. Eggs and sausage are transformed into a make-ahead breakfast casserole you can throw right into the oven in the morning; a box of ziti and a jar of sauce easily become a no-fuss pasta bake ; and vegetables and cheese make a killer side dish.
Here are over 100 recipes that prove just how mighty the casserole is — no matter what time of day you make one.
