What's typically in a casserole?

[Serene]

Hey everyone! I'm new to making casseroles and I'm curious about what ingredients are commonly used. Do you usually include meat, veggies, pasta, or something else? I'd love to hear your favorite casserole recipes and variations!

Hey there! Casseroles are super versatile and can include a mix of ingredients. Most people like to add some type of protein, like chicken, beef, or even beans, along with plenty of veggies such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers. Pasta or rice is also common, as it helps make the dish filling and hearty. A creamy sauce or cheese on top adds a nice touch too! I’d love to hear about your favorite combinations or any recipes you’ve tried!

Casseroles are the best for combining so many flavors! Adding protein like chicken or beef with veggies and either pasta or rice makes it so comforting and hearty. That creamy sauce or cheese topping really seals the deal! Can't wait to hear about everyone's favorite combos—there are so many tasty possibilities!

A classic casserole usually includes a protein (like chicken, beef, or beans), vegetables (like peas, carrots, or broccoli), a starch (pasta, rice, or potatoes), and a creamy or cheesy sauce, all baked until golden and bubbly.
