This classic Tuna Casserole recipe is a throwback! Sliced, white button mushrooms are browned and added with onion, garlic cloves, celery, dry Sherry, fresh bay and thyme. We stir in super-wide egg noodles to the savory mixture. Then top with grated gruyere cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, bread crumbs and parsley.

If you’re looking for a hearty, healthy dish, try Bob Harper’s Spaghetti Squash Casserole. We swap spaghetti for squash and mix in ground white turkey, roasted veggies, marinara and low-fat cottage cheese. Load up your plate with this casserole and don’t feel guilty about it.

This casserole combines our two favorite Mexican dishes—tostados and nachos. We layer crispy tortillas with Mexican chorizo, ground beef, jalapeno chilies, garlic, cumin, coriander, black beans. Then top with sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack and bake until golden brown and bubbly. Finish with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, red onion and pickled jalapeno peppers. The smokey, sweet and spicy flavors will warm you right up!
5.) Buffalo Chicken Potato Casserole

We love buffalo flavored anything, especially when we bake it in a casserole. This super- simple, quick casserole uses a creamy buffalo béchamel sauce, thinly sliced potatoes, rotisserie chicken and Pepper Jack Cheese. You might want to make two because there will be no leftovers after your family tastes this!
6.) David Vendable's Cheesy Cheeseburger Casserole
