14 Hearty Casseroles You’ll Want to Bake All Winter

Casseroles weren’t really a thing in my Chinese-American household. When I learned how to make a tuna noodle casserole in my ninth grade home economics class, I enthusiastically recreated it for my family. Unfortunately, my excitement was met with their disdain for the canned tuna and condensed cream of mushroom noodle masterpiece I had prepared. That, however, didn’t stop me from developing my love of casseroles, and today, they’re what I make when I need a dose of comfort. Below, you’ll find test kitchen-approved casseroles, including creamy pastas, vegetable gratins, and a sweet, custardy bread pudding that will warm you up inside and out. You’ll want to keep these casserole recipes on rotation…so get ready to fire up your oven.
