We know a thing or two about casseroles around here. Our trusty 13x9 dish is a lifelong ally in our kitchens, second only to our cast-iron skillet, oh, and the can of bacon grease we keep in the fridge. We have a lengthy list of go-to recipes whether we're serving breakfast, dinner, lunch, or even dessert—and, not surprisingly, most of them are Southern Living recipes. We put a call out for our editors to share their favorite Southern Living casserole recipes, and they delivered an all-star collection of the best casserole recipes that have ever graced our pages.

Creamy Chicken Alfredo Casserole

"When I don't want to think about what's for dinner, I always lean toward a baked pasta casserole. This creamy, cheesy dish has a short ingredient list and uses convenience items so I can get it in the oven in less than 15 minutes. Plus, there's always plenty of leftovers." – Jenna Sims, Associate Editor

Cheesy Broccoli-And-Rice Casserole

"My mom's wonderful variations of this casserole taught me not only to love broccoli but how to tweak casseroles according to your tastes and what ingredients are in the pantry. My mom would often use crumbled Ritz crackers instead of panko, toss in leftover chicken to make the casserole a bit heartier, and slip in grated carrots (thinking we didn't notice) to increase our vegetable intake."

Old-School Green Bean Casserole

"After years of Thanksgivings with green bean casseroles full of cream-of soups, my mom and I were inspired by this recipe in the November 2017 issue. Every part of it is made from scratch, and you can taste the difference." – Mary Shannon Wells, Assistant Editor

Chicken And Biscuit Cobbler

"This recipe was introduced to me by a girlfriend back when we were both in our newlywed days. It's made many appearances on the Shannon table through the years, but especially during the fall when the weather finally starts to cool off. Consider it a super Southern take on a chicken pot pie." - Patricia Shannon, Senior Editor
