How many casserole pans do you have?

What an odd question to ask.

But fact is, casseroles are pretty popular one-dish meals. And I gotta tell ya, it seems casserole pans are pretty popular wedding presents. Hence the question about how many pans you have. No matter how long ago that wedding was, casserole pans rarely get booted out of the cabinets.

Casseroles often fall under the categories of "comfort food," "make-ahead," and "freezer-friendly."

Some casseroles remind you of family gatherings. Some casseroles remind you of long, cozy winters. And some casseroles remind you of your mother-in-law (be that good or bad).

Casseroles are good for pot-lucks, using up leftovers, or for a one-pot meal to deliver to a friend in need. 

For those reasons I’m sure, we’ve had a request for healthy casserole recipes.

And since we want you to know that our goal is to meet you where you are and to help you enjoy Full Plate Living, we offer these casserole recipes for your cooking and eating pleasure.
