Working on this post has forced me to ask myself a lot of tough questions.
What, exactly, is a casserole? Are enchiladas casseroles? What about lasagnas? Is that a casserole or a pasta? Are pot pies a casserole, or is the fact that they're usually baked in a circular dish make them not casseroles?
Eventually, I just decided that if it's made in a dish and baked in an oven, it's a casserole. That works, right?
Casseroles are among my favorite foods to eat (and least favorite foods to photograph, but that's neither here nor there). But so many of them are full of bacon, chicken, and ground beef. It's hard to find casserole recipes that are meatless. But they do exist! Here are 50 vegetarian casserole recipes:

I'm with you - anything meal that bakes in the oven is a casserole. What a fabulous list of casseroles! Headed to check out some of them!
Natalie @ Once Upon a Cutting Board says
When I first created categories for all the recipes I bookmark, I started a casserole category but I think it still only has a few links in it because they almost always get classified as something else .. It is hard to figure out what a casserole actually is! But I know I love them - so great for having leftovers for lunch during the week!
Kiersten says
I have a file of recipes I've torn out of magazines and I have the same issue with the casserole category in there. 🙂
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
What a great post! Of course, now you are forcing me to overload by "bookmarked" pages even more than they already are. There are just so many tasty sounding recipes and I certainly cannot leave any out! 😉

I just dread photographing them. Dread it! I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Courtney Jones says
Awesome round-up of casserole recipes! Casseroles are my favourite to make, as they feed us for a few days and I can load them with veggies. Cannot wait to make a bunch of these awesome sounding casseroles 🙂
