20 Casserole Recipes Just Like Your Grandma Used To Make And Love
Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox
Whether she was cooking up Sunday dinner for the whole family or preparing side dishes for holiday gatherings, grandma knew that casseroles were the best way to serve up food that everyone would enjoy. They usually come together in one dish, make enough to feed a larger group, and generally don't require too much prep work. This collection of grandma-approved casserole recipes will help you create the same welcoming feeling that you always felt as soon as you stepped foot into her kitchen and saw a baking dish(or two!) full of food ready to be enjoyed.
While none of these casseroles will taste exactly like they did when grandma made them with love, we bet they’ll be pretty close.
