Chicken & Quinoa Casserole

This aromatic and flavorful dish feels like veggie pizza in casserole form with fresh basil, herb-spiked diced tomatoes and ooey-gooey melted cheese on top. If you can't find fresh mozzarella ciliegine, buy a larger ball and tear it into pieces. Preheating your baking sheets helps encourage caramelization of the roasted veggies, which adds layers of flavor to this savory dinner.

This Southwestern-inspired one-skillet casserole is stuffed with quinoa and plenty of fresh vegetables. Sharp Cheddar cheese flavors the filling and adds a layer of ooey-gooey melted cheese on top.

You won't be stuffing any peppers for this stuffed pepper casserole, but you will be enjoying the sweet and smoky combination of flavors coming from bell peppers, fire-roasted tomatoes, smoked paprika and ground beef. You can use precooked rice from the package or leftover brown rice if you have it. If using leftover rice, you will need about 1 1/2 cups.
Chicken Taco Casserole

This flavorful chicken taco casserole is packed with veggies, chicken, cheese and crispy tortilla chips and baked to perfection, then topped with fresh tomatoes, crisp iceberg lettuce and creamy avocado—just like a classic taco. Make it your own by swapping out the black beans for pinto beans or adding pepper Jack cheese for some added kick. If you want to keep it mild, opt for a milder taco seasoning and skip the jalapeños.
Creamed Spinach & Chicken Casserole
![a recipe photo of the Creamed Spinach & Chicken Casserole](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/Ow7KVj8W7ddYTs8Ahfq1T75Fd2A=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Creamed-Spinach-Chicken-Casserole-Beauty-3-2000-2af9de65ccb149cda5dcbe1870cfcbbe.jpg)
Creamed spinach and chicken combine in this crowd-pleasing, comforting casserole. Crushed red pepper packs some heat, so add less or leave it out completely if you want a milder version. You can cook long-grain brown rice ahead of time or look for packaged microwaveable brown rice to use instead.
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Casserole
![a recipe photo of the Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Casserole](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/sx4PZEiwGeC1rpG2o_CRv_4J2is=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Creamy-Sun-Dried-Tomato-Roasted-Red-Pepper-Casserole-3-b97db06f7e164e37b0dbe31093d62a31.jpg)
This healthy vegetarian casserole is a standout on any table. Crushed red pepper provides a little kick to this creamy main dish. We love the ease of jarred roasted red peppers, but if you have time, feel free to roast them yourself.
Spanakopita-Inspired Chicken & White Bean Casserole
![a recipe photo of the Spanakopita-Inspired Chicken & White Bean Casserole](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/u3xaGYhVa5TBVx5hMHhlmvnTBeI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SpanakopitaCasserole_Beauty-3x2_3407-2000-7c3d708272eb4b048319142b01a270c7.jpg)
This is a fun take on spanakopita, with a creamy feta-and-spinach filling and a crispy phyllo topping. Chicken and white beans pack in the protein. Any white beans, such as cannellini, garbanzo or navy beans, work well here. To keep the phyllo dough from drying out as you build the casserole, keep the unused sheets under a clean, damp towel.
Green Chile Rotisserie Chicken Casserole

This green chile rotisserie chicken casserole features tender rotisserie chicken with lots of tender vegetables. The corn adds a nice pop of sweetness, while the rice helps absorb some of the flavors. A crunchy topping of crushed tortilla chips finishes off this comforting, Southwestern-inspired casserole.

This slow-cooker meal is comfort food at its best: the layers of tortillas, cheese and sauce meld together into a cozy casserole inspired by the flavors in enchiladas. The top tortilla layer gets beautifully crispy in the slow cooker. We use pinto beans, but you could easily swap in black beans.

With the combo of beef, cheese and bell pepper, this easy casserole hits the nail on the head when it comes to the flavors of classic Philly cheesesteak. It's sure to be a new family favorite that's quick enough to pull off on a weeknight. We love the flavor smoked provolone lends to the dish, but if you want a more traditional flavor, aged provolone works just as well.
Creamy Lemon-Parmesan Chicken Casserole

This version of the classic Greek dish layers eggplant with an aromatic meat sauce and creamy béchamel for a satisfying summer casserole. The eggplant slices are commonly fried, but here we broil them to cut back on calories. Graviera, a hard grating cheese, is popular in Greece. Look for it with other specialty cheeses at well-stocked grocery stores, or substitute Pecorino Romano.
