Bake up a casserole and you’ve got family pleasing, comfort food for dinner. But casseroles are also convenient and easy. Especially if they can offer the option of freezing for later, baking in the oven or even slow cooking in a crock pot.
I’ve got 18 recipes for you to try. And I’ve included some handy tips for many of them too.
Not every recipe uses cream soups, but a few do. If you avoid the canned version, or find that you’re out, here’s a post on using White Sauce (with several variations) as a substitute.

Perogie Casserole: If you like perogies and don’t want the hassle of putting them together, this is a good one. Pasta, mashed potatoes, butter, cheddar cheese, onion, bacon, and garlic. Layer and bake @ 350F for 45 min.
