Whether you're in the mood for saucy baked enchiladas or a veggie-packed shepherd's pie, these dishes are sure to please. Plus, they take no more than forty minutes to prepare, so you’ll be dining in less than an hour. Recipes like our Loaded Zucchini Casserole and Creamy Chicken &amp; Penne alla Vodka Casserole with Peas are warm and cozy classics that hit the spot every time. </p><h2>Creamy Chicken, Corn &amp; Poblano Skillet Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2GjhYp_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2GjhYp_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>This zesty skillet chicken casserole is perfect for a busy weeknight. A creamy sauce coats the chicken, offering a flavorful bite with a nice level of heat. Poblano peppers are generally mild, but their heat can vary. For a milder version, you can substitute green bell peppers and omit the jalapeño. </p><h2>Loaded Zucchini Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1YkmVa_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1YkmVa_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>This rich and creamy zucchini casserole is packed with tender zucchini and bits of bacon smothered in a savory cheese sauce. Be sure to press the zucchini slices dry with paper towels to soak up extra water to prevent the casserole from becoming watery once it’s baked. </p><h2>Cheesy Chicken &amp; Broccoli Alfredo Skillet Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2YJlvy_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2YJlvy_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>This delightful one-skillet cheesy chicken Alfredo casserole combines penne pasta, tender broccoli and shredded rotisserie chicken smothered in a creamy sauce. To simplify the sauce, we opt for a pre-shredded Italian cheese blend. Though cheese blends vary, they typically contain Parmesan cheese, imparting the traditional Alfredo flavor. Seek blends with aged cheeses or blends that include sharp cheeses like provolone or Asiago for a richer flavor profile. </p><h2>Creamy Chicken &amp; Penne alla Vodka Casserole with Peas </h2><p>This cheesy chicken pasta casserole is perfect for a busy weeknight when you need a fast and easy dinner with minimal cleanup. Vodka sauce adds a creamy note to the sauce. If you don’t have vodka sauce on hand, add a few tablespoons of cream to regular marinara. </p><h2>Teriyaki Chicken Skillet Casserole with Broccoli </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=18lGjH_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=18lGjH_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>Whip up this quick and easy teriyaki chicken casserole in just one skillet—it’s the perfect go-to recipe for hectic weeknights that’s sure to satisfy a crowd. It’s ideal for making use of any leftover chicken and rice you have on hand. If you’re short on leftovers, a rotisserie chicken paired with a package of microwaveable brown rice is a good substitute.</p><h2>Cheesy Beef &amp; Black Bean Skillet Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0B3Sux_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0B3Sux_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="500" ><p>Think of this creamy skillet casserole as a one-pan taco. The corn tortillas crisp up under the broiler, adding crunch to go with the creamy filling. If you enjoy a bit of spiciness, opt for hot salsa or chipotle salsa for some smoky undertones. Tomatillo salsa works well, too, adding tang and a fresh flavor to this easy skillet dinner. </p><h2>Loaded Cabbage Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=40mcPx_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=40mcPx_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="500" ><p>This cabbage casserole has all of the classic flavors you love in a loaded baked potato, but with tender cooked cabbage as a base instead. The cheesy sauce coats the cabbage for a satisfying side that pairs with roasted chicken, pork or steak. Mix it up by using savoy cabbage, or use red cabbage for a fun purple hue. </p><h2>Pesto Tuna Noodle Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2s6nv3_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2s6nv3_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="500" ><p>A creamy pesto sauce with sweet shallots and wilted spinach gives a light and bright spin to classic tuna noodle casserole. Albacore tuna is an ideal choice, as it holds its texture well once mixed in, although any water-packed tuna will do the job. For the best results, we recommend using refrigerated pesto for its fresh flavor which enhances the overall dish. </p><h2>Chicken Piccata Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2leg3W_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2leg3W_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="500" ><p>This protein-packed chicken piccata casserole brings all the flavors of classic chicken piccata together in one dish. It’s the easiest piccata you’ll ever make—no dredging or sauce required! Cooking the lemon slices in butter mellows their bite and helps jump-start the lemony flavor of the dish while helping the butter get a little brown, bringing some nuttiness to the dish. </p><h2>Cheeseburger Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3KcnSF_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3KcnSF_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="500" ><p>If you love a classic cheeseburger with all the fixings, you’ll love this family-friendly cheeseburger casserole. Rotini pasta picks up all the flavors of this comforting dish, but any shape pasta you have in your pantry will work well. We love the crunch shredded fresh lettuce offers, but feel free to mix it up with another green like spinach or kale, or top your casserole with Swiss cheese and sautéed mushrooms for a different spin. </p><h2>Philly Cheesesteak Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0yCRS5_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0yCRS5_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>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.</p><h2>Mom's Creamy Chicken &amp; Broccoli Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0oyz7D_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0oyz7D_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>This lightened-up creamy chicken casserole is packed with veggies.

If you want to increase the spice level, leave the seeds in the jalapeño. Finish with your favorite toppings like Cheddar, cilantro and crumbled tortilla chips. </p><h2>Broccoli, Cheese &amp; Rice Casserole </h2><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0pikKE_0w5k5B0600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0pikKE_0w5k5B0600" width="750" height="750" ><p>Ditch the baking dish and make this easy skillet broccoli, cheese and rice casserole.
