Ingredient: Italian cheese blend, shredded

Of course, you can eat casseroles all year long, but they hold a special spot in our hearts when the crisp days of fall roll around. A longtime staple in North America’s cuisine, these baked concoctions appear at family reunions, holiday gatherings, potlucks, and more.

In terms of comfort food, casseroles are high on the list of our favorite autumn dishes. Double points if they have a good amount of cheese, and triple points if they also contain veggies. There are plenty more reasons to love them. They’re hearty, super-easy to prepare, the perfect dish for freezing and keeping in stock as well as being adjustable to whatever size you need.

This chicken zucchini bake is a great combination of cheesy chicken and vegetables that can be baked individually or as one casserole.
