Casseroles are a great option for busy weeknights, as they can be assembled ahead of time and baked later. They are also a great way to use up leftovers or create a one-pot meal that feeds a crowd. Casseroles can be customized to suit your tastes and dietary restrictions by substituting ingredients or using alternative cooking methods, such as baking, slow cooking, or grilling.
