Some of us over the years may have developed a distaste for casseroles. Perhaps when you were young your parents made a casserole with ingredients which, to this day, you still can’t name. Or perhaps you’ve become used to goopy casseroles made with various canned soups.

To the jaded casserole eater, I’ll tell you this: casseroles can still be really delicious! It is not a requirement to use canned soups and they are super versatile. Pick a cuisine and then put in ingredients you love: they’ll be no mystery as to what’s in it and you’ll be getting lots of yumminess with every forkful. Plus, casseroles are great for freezing. Make a few ahead of time and future dinners will be a breeze.
