13 Casserole Dinners That Feed the Whole House
Thirteen casseroles and bakes grouped by protein — chicken, beef and pork, and meatless — with macros and per-serving costs for each.
The casserole is the most underrated format in home cooking: assemble once, bake unattended, feed everyone, and the leftovers might be better than round one. Anychef catalog data makes the economic case too — our casserole dinners run a median $2.20 a serving and nearly all of them feed four or more from one dish.
Thirteen of the best, grouped by what's carrying them: chicken, beef and pork, or no meat at all. Macros and per-serving costs on every one.
