Share one of these best casseroles for company—each feeds eight or more—for a totally delish dish that will make you the real MVP at your meal. 01 of 22 Creamy Corn and Macaroni Bake View Recipe Andy Lyons Macaroni and cheese will forever rank as one of the best casseroles for company. This thoroughly modern rendition tip-toes the comfort food concept to gourmet territory. (Don't worry, it's still simple to assemble!). Crispy, salty pancetta, two types of cheese, sweet corn kernels, and a parsley-panko bread crumb topping will have everyone coming back for another scoop. Good thing this potluck casserole makes 10 servings! 02 of 22 Pizza Tot Casserole View Recipe Jarred pizza sauce, canned olives, and store-bought tots make this an ultra-easy casserole for potluck dinner. How easy is it? You need just 15 minutes to get it oven-ready. The beef and sausage-based mixture will likely disappear much quicker than that once you place the bubbling baking dish on the table. 27 Recipes That Taste Like Pizza But Aren't! 03 of 22 Brussels Sprouts Casserole with Pancetta and Asiago Cheese View Recipe Blaine Moats Brussels sprouts are the not-so-secret ingredient of this show-stealing fancy party casserole recipe. The best part about this eight-serving creation? It will inspire even the pickiest of eaters to ask for (and even enjoy) vegetables. One BH&G® home cook says, "Brussels sprouts never tasted so good! Delicious on its own or served as an accompaniment." 04 of 22 Deep-Dish Cheeseburger Pizza Casserole View Recipe Jacob Fox Pot pie meets hamburger in this summery potluck recipe that feeds a whopping 12 hungry guests per pan. Fill it with beef and sausage or trade in your favorite plant-based meat substitute. Once baked, share the cheesy, easy casserole for potluck dinner with all of the classic burger toppings so guests can customize as desired. Of course, you can't go wrong with the classic ketchup, mustard, relish, and fresh veggies! 05 of 22 Apple-Fennel Ham and Egg Casserole View Recipe Jason Donnelly A classic grilled cheese sandwich with cheddar on sourdough is good. But grown-up grilled cheese stuffed with fruit and meat alongside the warm, gooey cheese is even better. Since this is one of the best casseroles for company, we take that idea and mash it up with an egg casserole to deliver one well-balanced brunch that you'll want to share as part of every holiday menu. 06 of 22 Puebla Shrimp Rellenos Casserole View Recipe Kritsada Panichgul Tender shrimp and chopped poblano peppers combine with cheddar cheese and fresh tomatoes in this easy casserole that's just right for your next potluck. Instead of battering and frying the rellenos, discover similar flavors by layering a flour and egg batter right on top of the shrimp mixture and baking. 07 of 22 Shawarma Casserole View Recipe Carson Downing One of our favorite predictions for best food trends of 2022? Borderless cuisine. Middle East meets the Midwest in this party casserole from celebrity chef Molly Yeh. Ground turkey and rice get a leg up in flavor via warm shawarma spices, nutty tahini, piles of fresh herbs, and a salty, crunchy pita chip topping. 08 of 22 Twice-Baked Potato Dump Casserole View Recipe Matthew Clark Party potatoes are here to stay. And you'll be wild about this riff on the classic, since the cheesy and gooey dish is topped with a generous coating of cheddar cheese and plenty of crunchy bacon crumbles. While it tastes like those fussy twice-baked spuds, this potluck casserole for a crowd is as easy as prep, dump, and bake. 21 Dump and Bake Casseroles That Need Virtually Zero Prep Time 09 of 22 Criss-Cross Pizza Casserole View Recipe Kritsada Panichgul We flipped pizza on its head to give you more of what you love—the toppings. Zucchini, bell peppers, and chicken sausage smothered in marinara and mozzarella fill up this fun party casserole. Crispy rolls of seasoned pizza dough create a gorgeous and easy lattice topping that crowns this dish one of our best casseroles for company. 10 of 22 Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole View Recipe Matthew Clark In case you need a reminder, it's absolutely OK to love ranch dressing as a grown-up. A packet of the signature seasoning blend offers herb-boosted flavor to each and every bite of this three-cheese pasta dish. Mushrooms and bacon lend loads of umami, while chicken adds enough protein to make this one of the most filling (yet easy!) casseroles for potluck dinner. 11 of 22 Salmon Pot Pie Casserole View Recipe Aya Brackett It's a pot pie! It's an omega 3-rich salmon entrée! It's a casserole! It's everything you love in one. And it's time you shared this potluck casserole with the world (OK, with your family, at least). 12 of 22 Baked Cajun Seafood and Rice View Recipe Blaine Moats The party just got spicy! For a twist on shrimp and grits, try this easy seafood recipe that features rice, shrimp, crabmeat, bacon, and plenty of Cajun seasoning. Bacon boosts the savory flavor while kale or spinach cranks up the nutrition. In addition to being one of the best casseroles for company, this dish earns points for tasting even better the next day. 13 of 22 Fig, Pancetta, and Goat Cheese Brunch Casserole View Recipe Andy Lyons Dried figs, salty pancetta, tangy goat cheese, and nutty Parmesan team up in this easy yet fancy casserole recipe. Because this brunch menu centerpiece is designed to be assembled ahead and chilled overnight before baking, it's a breeze for stress-free hosting. Need more convincing?

A definite must-try recipe!" 14 of 22 Cheese Fondue Casserole View Recipe Kritsada Panichgul Say cheese! It's hard not to smile with this gooey Swiss- and Gruyére-laced dish at the potluck table. For a protein boost, top with shrimp. Or to make this worthy of the trophy for the ultimate fancy casserole recipe, try folding in the meat from steamed crab legs. 15 of 22 Caramel-Banana-Pecan Bread Casserole View Recipe Scott Little Have you ever felt like a short-order cook while making French toast a few slices at a time? Then you'll appreciate this potluck casserole breakfast recipe that's infused with the sweet and decadent flavors of bananas foster. You'll have 12 nutty, banana-boosted servings ready to go (hot out of the slow cooker!) all at once. 16 of 22 Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole View Recipe Jason Donnelly Rather than filling and rolling tortillas to make traditional enchiladas, try this vegetarian Mexican dinner recipe. Similar to a potluck taco casserole in flavor with black beans, corn, and edamame standing in for the meat, this cheesy casserole just so happens to be gluten-free too. Shh…it will be our little secret: All of the corn tortillas, cheese, and avocado do a brilliant job at disguising the two cups of carrots hiding inside. 17 of 22 Kale, Chorizo, and Red Bean Brunch Casserole View Recipe Andy Lyons Power foods unite in this sausage-spiked vegetable casserole recipe. With just a bit of chorizo and a mountain of veggies, this bread casserole is one make-ahead breakfast that tastes even better after allowing the flavors to meld in the fridge overnight. Simply wake up and bake it for 45 minutes to start the day off right. 18 of 22 Mexican Rigatoni and Cheese View Recipe Kritsada Panichgul Chorizo, black beans, poblano peppers, and fresh cilantro unite in this potluck casserole.

It offers a beautiful balance of creamy and crunchy with plenty of cheese inside plus golden-brown bread crumbs that top off the flavorful corn recipe. This serves-16 side dish is perfect to share at any summer gathering—right when corn is at its best. 21 of 22 Bacon-Topped Green Bean Casserole View Recipe Andy Lyons What could make classic green bean casserole even better? Bacon, of course. Coupled with rich mushrooms, fresh green beans, and a rosemary cream sauce, crispy bacon provides the salty, smoky flavor you may not have realized your potluck casserole was missing. 22 of 22 Spicy Green Bean Casserole View Recipe Andy Lyons Onion-topped, creamy soup-filled green bean casserole is a staple on holiday menus. When you're in the mood to switch up the flavors within the classic potluck vegetable casserole recipe, try adding some zing.
