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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summer tastes like this feast that feeds 10. Sweet roasted tomatoes give the casserole an extra bite of freshness—and a lot of color. To load up the veggie-packed potluck recipe with some protein, add two cups of chicken to the casserole before baking. (We often opt for rotisserie chicken for a shortcut!)
