When it finally cools off during fall in the South, our kitchens have been stocked and ready. Spiced desserts, smoked barbecue for tailgates, warm apple cider, and of course, plenty of comforting casseroles are sure to fill our recipe lineup for the season. If there’s one person we happily look to for recipe inspiration, it’s Grandma. No one can resist a second helping of these comforting casseroles that were made for cool autumns.

Don’t let the name confuse you: This cheesy pasta won’t cost a million dollars to make (it’s quite budget-friendly), but it will make you feel like a million bucks.

Like a fall version of pineapple casserole, this fruit bake is surprisingly delicious. Though there’s nothing surprising about that if you’re someone who puts Cheddar cheese on your apple pie!

If you don’t want to take our word for it, simply read the five-star reviews for this comforting casserole recipe. “My teenager just proclaimed it ‘the best food I’ve ever eaten!’ Who doesn’t love chicken, bacon, ranch flavor, and cheese?! Super easy to make, using a rotisserie chicken. A new dish for ‘the rotation’ of dinners!” wrote one reviewer.
Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

This cozy pasta bake recipe starts with cooking a whole chicken, but you can use rotisserie chicken if it’s already in your fridge.
New Turkey Tetrazzini

Grandma isn’t just going to throw her leftover Thanksgiving turkey between two slices of bread. She’ll do you one better and make an entire comforting casserole with it.
Old- School Green Bean Casserole

When we say “old-school,” we mean it. This classic side dish is made totally from scratch (yes, without the “cream-of” soups).
Creamy Chicken Alfredo Casserole
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/creamy_chicken_alfredo_casserole_recipe-09be93ac3c8a42a784e1f6c587e444fa.jpg)
Grandma knows how to feed a crowd a satisfying meal, and when she’s in a pinch, that means turning to convenient buys like jarred pasta sauce and rotisserie chicken and turning out something delicious.
Chicken- and-Wild Rice Casserole
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/1142903_mwywc14503_2-2000-52c64da2c98545aaab8c6a639a4e802f.jpg)
Grandma loves a casserole that “freezes beautifully,” and this dinnertime favorite falls right in that category. Keep it in the freezer for up to a month and pull it out on an extra-busy week.
Twice Baked Potato Casserole
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SL_SEO_112119_AM_TwicwBakedPotatoCass_188-97d91380f0ef498a9a826163ee4f3394.jpg)
A baked potato bar is fun in theory, but with the grandkids, it can quickly become a nightmare for whoever is cleaning up after supper. Grandma combines all of that cheesy, starchy goodness into one casserole dish instead.
Chicken Pot Pie with Bacon-and-Cheddar Biscuits
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/2040804_takeo14831_1-f7ac07515a284a0ea6639e1eca383769.jpg)

Poppy seed casseroles are a staple in Grandma’s house, including this version that’s a great use for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. You can swap cooked chicken if that’s what you have on hand.

A few things are always going to be found in Grandma’s kitchen: butter on the countertop, candies in a crystal dish, buttermilk in the fridge, and ground beef in the freezer. When she’s ready to use the latter, it’s likely to go in a casserole just like this one.
Buffalo Chicken Casserole
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/buffalochickencasserole_084-s-2000-d3102881d0974d70aba3b98df2b76244.jpg)

Stacy Allen; Food Stylist: Karen Rankin; Prop Stylist: Lindsey Lower
French onion soup is a fall favorite, but it might not be filling enough for everyone around Grandma’s table. This casserole has all the flavor along with hearty chicken that will keep the family satisfied.
Southern Pimiento Mac and Cheese
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/southern-pimiento-mac-and-cheese-56542a5da88d4bb3bf3d86a2daaed867)

:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Chicken-and-Cornbread-Casserole-665218357e3847aa817aa2acde6954a3.jpg)
Cornbread dressing is one of Grandma’s specialty side dishes around the holidays, but it’s not quite filling enough on its own as a main dish. This hearty weeknight casserole solves that problem.
