Make this collection work for you

  • Use the stated dish size so the center and edges bake at a similar pace.
  • Drain cooked vegetables thoroughly before adding them to a creamy filling.
  • A browned top does not guarantee a hot center; check meat-and-poultry casseroles for 165°F / 74°C.
  • Let a finished casserole rest briefly to make serving easier.

Frequently asked questions

Can I assemble a casserole a day ahead?

Many can be assembled and refrigerated, but a cold dish takes longer to heat. Follow each recipe’s make-ahead note and check the center temperature.

Why is my casserole watery?

Wet vegetables, excess pasta water, or a different dish size can change the result. Drain ingredients well and use the specified amounts.
