Thanks so so much for including me! Pinning!
I love casseroles! They’re such time savers especially when your week is full of Kiddie and Mommy duties.
I love casseroles – they are a full meal in one pan, and I don’t have to stir it or anything. Mess free, hassle free cooking is my favorite type of cooking.
I totally need to add some of these to my rotation!
Ooh these dishes look fabulous, I’ve just gained so many new ideas to make! I love a great casserole especially in the colder weather!
Yum! I’ve been trying to cut down on meat, so I’l have to try a couple of these out!
I’ve been vegetarian for more than 20 years and unfortunately I rarely make casseroles. All of the options you shared within this post looks so delicious and kid-friendly too. I will have to make a few.
Making casseroles definitely saves a lot of time. I really need to add these into my dinner menus more often.
I could totally be a vegetarian and I love casseroles, but not the rest of my family would feel deprived so I continue to cook meat. I love your round up and I love anything pasta!
All of these casseroles look amazing! The vegetable pot pie and the butternut squash gratin look like must-trys for me.
