As the weather gets colder, the dishes get warmer. Try any of these fall casserole recipes for a hearty meal on a cool day.
In my opinion, the best thing about the weather going from cool to downright bone-chilling is the increase in opportunities to make creamy, comforting fall casserole recipes. While it could be because I am thoroughly midwestern, I think it’s really because the cozy fall casseroles in this collection are the perfect combination of in-season flavors and comfort food, all in convenient and easy packages.
This collection has a wide range of autumn casserole recipes, from seasonal favorites like sweet potato bakes, chicken and stuffing casserole, and green bean casserole to casserole all-stars like million-dollar spaghetti, Tater Tot and tuna noodle, so there’s always something to satisfy your cravings. Beyond dinner casseroles, you’ll also find plenty of options for breakfast casseroles and side dishes, so you can tuck into a hot dish all day long.
The best part is that these easy casseroles are a snap to throw together, and most can be made in advance, making them perfect for busy weeknight meals. Serve up one (or a few!) of these seasonal casserole dishes with a leafy green salad and some rolls, and you’ve got dinner.

Fall Casserole Recipes FAQ
Can I make a fall casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can absolutely make cozy fall casseroles ahead of time. For make-ahead casseroles, prep and assemble the casserole as directed, then cool, cover and store it in the fridge overnight. When dinnertime comes, preheat your oven and bake the casserole as directed.
There are many freezer-friendly casseroles too. Prep and assemble the casserole, allow it to cool, then cover it tightly with storage wrap and foil, and store it in the freezer. The night before you want to eat the casserole, transfer it to the fridge to defrost overnight, then bake as directed. You may need to add a few extra minutes of cook time to ensure the casserole heats all the way through.
What vegetables are good in seasonal casserole dishes?
The best vegetables to have in autumn casserole recipes are seasonal veggies like butternut squash, sweet potatoes, cabbage, parsnips, Brussels sprouts and winter squash. When it comes to leafy greens, opt for Swiss chard, collard greens or kale for a hearty and seasonal touch.
