One-Dish Bakes
Casserole Recipes
A casserole is a whole meal assembled in one baking dish, so it feeds a crowd, reheats well and leaves you with one dish to wash. These recipes cover chicken, ground beef, seafood and vegetarian bakes, from chicken and rice casserole and chicken pot pie to shepherd's pie, enchiladas, moussaka, lasagna and baked mac and cheese.
Most can be assembled ahead and kept covered in the fridge until you bake them, and many freeze well. Each recipe says how far ahead you can prepare it and how to reheat the leftovers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I assemble a casserole the night before?
Yes, most of these casseroles can be assembled up to a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge. Bake straight from the fridge and allow extra time, since a cold dish takes longer to heat through. Each recipe gives its own make-ahead timing.
How do I freeze a casserole?
Cool the baked casserole, then wrap the dish tightly in plastic wrap and foil, or freeze it in portions, for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat it, covered, until the centre is hot, 74°C (165°F). Taco casserole and zucchini lasagna do not freeze well, because the chips and zucchini turn soft and watery.
What size baking dish do I need?
Most of these casseroles bake in a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 inch) baking dish. Chicken pot pie uses a 23 cm (9 inch) deep pie dish, and the sweet potato casserole cooks in a slow cooker.
