      Family Favorite Casserole Recipes - Addie Gundry

      Introduction

      A casserole is something to be shared—something warm, rich, usually ooey-gooey, and worthy of a gathering on its own. I imagine something cheesy, like Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese, at the center of a table, bright-patterned linens, flowers, maybe bread crumbs or a fading stain from spilled wine. I picture laughing parents talking about their day, a sticky little hand reaching in for dessert, and full plates leaving saucy stains behind.

      I was born and raised not far from my grandparents’ farm in Minnesota. I spent most of my childhood there, and after growing up on cheesy corn-filled home-style meals, I flew far overseas to be classically trained in French cuisine. I went from mashing potatoes in a country kitchen to precisely dicing them in a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Avignon, France, and it is safe to say that my days of making casseroles came to a screeching halt. I spent the next several years in fine dining entertaining and innovation, only to end up right back in the Midwest, making casseroles in my home kitchen. The reason is simple—I realized that I was passionate about combining ease with elegance. A dish doesn’t have to be complicated to be creative. You don’t need multiple pots and pans to find flavor. And with the proper tools, tips, and techniques, anyone can cook memorable meals. The beauty behind these dishes is their simplicity, but each is packed with flavor and worthy of a photo, characteristics that give you reason to whip up these family favorites any day of the week.

      One of my favorites is the Country Chicken and Spinach Casserole. The Party Popper Potato Puff Casserole is the perfect thing to bring to a soccer game or a tailgate, and will be welcomed with open arms on a cold autumn day. The Layered Ham and Cheese Croissant Casserole is my go-to brunch recipe, and the 20-Minute Chocolate Candy Cookie Casserole is a quick and easy crowd-pleasing dessert! You’ll find my recipe for Easy Baked Goulash, a beef casserole that I made while filming on the Food Network; and One-Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole, a dish that reminds me of when my husband and I first started dating.

      I’ve used my experience and excitement for food and entertaining to create each one of these 103 casseroles in a unique way. Why 103? When you come to my house for dinner, I want you to know you can always bring a friend, or two, or three … and for those who have been to my home, you know firsthand that guests tend to multiply as the food continues to come out of the oven and cocktails are poured. One hundred recipes felt too rigid, too finite. By adding the extra three it became more welcoming, a reminder that there is always more room at the table, especially when a casserole sits in the center of it.

      Breakfast

      From steel-cut oats packed with berries to light and fluffy cinnamon-coated rolls, fried eggs over hash browns, and spicy charred sausage with avocado, breakfast casseroles come in all shapes and sizes.

      Layered Ham and Cheese Croissant Casserole

      Yield: 7 large croissant sandwiches | Prep Time: 20 minutes plus overnight set | Cook Time: 1 hour

      Nothing says brunch, and morning comfort, like a ham and cheese croissant. This casserole can be made the night before, which makes things even easier in the morning. Serve straight out of the casserole dish as individual sandwiches, or cut up and place on a platter. I like to shingle the croissants so they’re easy to grab out of the dish individually. Either way, find yourself some flaky croissants and kick off your weekend!

      INGREDIENTS

      7 croissants

      2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

      14 thin slices deli ham

      7 slices Swiss cheese

      10 large eggs

      1½ cups whole milk

      ½ teaspoon salt

      ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

      DIRECTIONS

      1. Lightly coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

      2. Slice the croissants, spread each one with mustard, and fill them with the ham and cheese. Shingle the croissant sandwiches into the casserole dish.

      3. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Pour over the sandwiches and cover the dish with foil. Weight the top with a plate or cookie sheet to submerge the sandwiches in the egg mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

      4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake, covered with the foil, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Serve.

      VARIATIONS

      Spice the sandwiches up with pepper jack cheese or add a touch of sweetness with honey Dijon mustard.

      NOTES

      It’s all about the croissants! If you can find some at a local bakery, the superior quality and freshness will certainly shine through.

      Berry Breakfast Casserole

      Yield: Serves 6 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 40 minutes

      This casserole looks and tastes like a blondie, but it’s packed with oats and superfood berries. Prepare it in the morning before guests arrive. If you have a few stragglers, pop the casserole back in the oven to reheat when everyone is ready to eat. If there is any left after breakfast, this makes for one of my favorite afternoon snacks served with yogurt and honey.

      INGREDIENTS

      1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

      1 cup steel-cut oats

      1 cup all-purpose flour

      1 cup light brown sugar

      1 teaspoon baking powder

      ½ teaspoon salt

      1 large egg

      1 cup whole milk

      ¼ cup vegetable oil

      1 teaspoon vanilla extract

      1 cup blueberries

      1 cup raspberries

      ½ cup dried cranberries

      ½ cup coarsely chopped pecans

      1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered

      Yogurt and honey, for serving

      DIRECTIONS

      1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

      2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

      4. Beat the egg in a small bowl, add the milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix well. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, add the blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, and pecans, and mix until well blended.

      4. Pour into the baking dish and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the sliced strawberries. Cut into squares and serve warm with yogurt and honey.

      Make-Ahead Oatmeal Casserole

      Yield: Serves 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes

      Before you crawl under the covers at night, assemble this oatmeal and set it in the fridge. When you wake up, all you have to do is brew a pot of coffee and pop the dish in the oven. The sweet blueberries folded throughout and the taste of buttery vanilla almonds make this a very special oatmeal. This casserole tastes like comfort and warmth on a cold winter weekend.

      INGREDIENTS

      2 cups rolled oats

      ⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

      1 teaspoon baking powder

      1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

      ½ teaspoon kosher salt

      ½ cup dried cherries

      ½ cup blueberries, plus extra for serving

      ¼ cup toasted almonds

      1 cup whole milk

      1 cup half-and-half

      1 large egg

      2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

      1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

      Honey and yogurt, for serving

      DIRECTIONS

      1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly coat an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

      2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, ⅓ cup of the brown sugar, the baking powder, cinnamon, salt, dried cherries, half of the blueberries, and half of the almonds. Pour into the baking dish and top with the remaining blueberries and almonds. Whisk together the milk, half-and-half, egg, melted butter, and vanilla and pour on top of the oatmeal mixture.

      3. At this point you can either sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and bake for 30 minutes, or cover as is and place in the fridge overnight.

      4. Once baked, remove from oven and scoop into individual serving bowls. Serve warm, topped with extra blueberries, yogurt, and honey if you wish.

      Cinnamon Roll Casserole

      Yield: Serves 8 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes

      We all know the smell of cinnamon rolls baking, the stickiness that comes with eating a vanilla-glazed sweet bun, and the burst of powdered sugar glaze and warm raisins when we take the first bite. But I’ll bet that most often you bake cinnamon rolls in a single layer on a cookie sheet in the oven. I guarantee this version, layered in a casserole dish and dredged in cinnamon sugar batter, will be the ooey-gooiest in your recipe collection.

      INGREDIENTS

      Casserole

      2 (12-ounce) tubes cinnamon rolls

      ¼ cup light brown sugar

      1½ cups raisins

      4 large
