This casserole is something that both adults and children will love! Cheese-filled tortellini and chicken are baked with spinach, marinara sauce, and a mixture of part-skim ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. I also love making this dish for potluck dinners and casual gatherings with friends because it's a one-pan make-ahead meal = effortless entertaining.

Baked French toast is always one of my favorite things to make for breakfast, especially when I have visitors. It's so easy to put together - you can assemble the dish in 10 minutes the night before, and then just pop it in the oven in the morning. The French toast itself is scrumptious from soaking overnight in the egg custard, and I think the best part is the brown sugar and cinnamon streusel topping. There are so many ways to serve this dish - top it with maple syrup, crumbled bacon, fresh fruit and whipped cream, confectioner's sugar, or enjoy its sweetness all on its own.
Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is an easy, no-fuss, comforting meal. It’s especially perfect for the week after Thanksgiving because you can use the leftovers that you already have on hand for this recipe. Substitute the chicken with your leftover turkey; replace the diced potatoes with the sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes you served as your side dish; and swap out the mixed vegetables with your green bean casserole, or with any other vegetables that were on your Thanksgiving table. (*Note: If you do use leftover turkey and potatoes, you can reduce the cooking time from 1 hour down to 20 minutes). And for those of you who are tired of eating Thanksgiving leftovers, prepare this recipe as is!
This is the most delicious green bean casserole, perfect for serving at holiday get-togethers. What really takes this dish over the top is the homemade French fried onion topping. If you ask me, there's a time and a place for canned French fried onions: never, and on the shelf. These onions are baked in the oven, so crunchy, and so full of flavor, which makes them much tastier and healthier than the store-bought version.
This classic Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole recipe is made with mashed sweet potatoes and a fluffy marshmallow topping. I’ve lightened up the holiday staple by using just a small amount of brown sugar to add a touch of sweetness to the potatoes. After all, the marshmallows are going to provide enough sweetness so that the potatoes themselves don’t need to be candied. There’s no substitute for marshmallows though, so load them on!
This casserole is a balanced and healthy meal, made with chicken, rice, broccoli, and my homemade cream of celery soup. Condensed soups are convenient, flavorful, and useful when preparing a quick weeknight dinner. On the downside, they're high in salt and artificial preservatives. I use them sometimes, but when I can, I make my own. Making your own condensed soup is actually really easy, and much healthier since it's preservative-free and you control the salt content. The celery soup used in this recipe requires only a few ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to make.
This casserole recipe, made with ground meat, beans, and a sweetened tomato sauce, is one that was given to me years ago from a friend, and I have continued to make it over and over, no matter what season it is. It is especially delicious in the cooler months, and I have included stovetop, oven, and crockpot directions to suit whichever cooking method you prefer.
