Vegetarian casseroles offer the best of two worlds: They're nutrient-rich and delicious. Whether you're cooking for a vegetarian or simply want to reduce your meat intake, they're a flavor-filled option to serve as a main dish or as a seamless side, no matter the season.

Great year-round, our Twice-Baked Potato-and-Raclette Casserole, pictured here, incorporates mashed potatoes, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and raclette for a decadent, fondue-inspired dish. If you're looking for an autumnal recipe, play into your family's love of pumpkin with Pumpkin Pasta—it's made with canned pumpkin purée, jarred sun-dried tomato pesto, and sautéed kale. We love that it comes together in just 50 minutes. Time's not on your side? Combat a busy schedule with our Freeze-Ahead Lasagna Primavera. The light bechamel sauce replaces the typical tomato for a mouthwatering meal you can make ahead of time.

Looking for a lower carb or gluten-free recipe? Try our Zucchini Lasagna—which takes only 15 minutes to assemble. Our recipe calls for reduced-fat cream cheese and ricotta sandwiched between zucchini for a people-pleasing option. Or, recreate our Sweet Potato Cannelloni dish which uses sweet potato slices instead of noodles for another pasta-free option. Delighting the cheese lover at your table never looked so good. A staple in many vegetarian casserole recipes, stand out with our three-cheese Squash Baked Macaroni. The ingredients call for two types of squash, parmesan, mascarpone, and fresh ricotta in one decadent dish.

From dinnertime classics to unique flavor combinations, our vegetarian casserole recipes will have everyone asking for seconds—vegetarian or not.
