These delicious vegetable casseroles are perfect for your next potluck or holiday party.
A casserole is basically anything that’s cooked in a ‘casserole’ dish. Usually it would be meat and/or vegetables with some sort of saucy binder, melding all the ingredients together to form one meal.
This is how it differs from a soup or a stew, these tend to have a lot more liquid and are usually cooked on the stove top or crockpot. Often you’d serve stews with something like mashed potato, whereas a casserole can easily be a stand alone meal.
They often have creamy or cheesy sauces, but lower calorie versions can easily be substituted by using ingredients like silken tofu.
Below you’ll find a selection 24 vegetable casserole recipes, see which one catches your eye!
