22 Casseroles For The Easiest Healthy Dinners

When it’s cold outside, there’s nothing better than a casserole. Simply toss all your ingredients into a dish, place it in the oven, and you’re on your way to a super comforting meal, with very little effort. Admittedly, though, some of our favorites are pretty heavy (we’re looking at you, twice-baked potato casserole). Full of cream, cheese, and lots of carbs, they’re not always what we want when we’re trying to eat lighter (or when we’re trying to save room for all those great fall desserts!). Not to fear though, we’ve rounded up some of our comfort casseroles that lean more towards healthy than heavy. Check out our TK healthy casserole recipes—they’ve got all the flavor and convenience you crave, but won’t weigh you down.

Health looks different to different people, and we’re not here to prescribe one diet over another to you. Instead, we’ve included options for a variety of diets, like low-carb, vegan, gluten-free, whole foods, etc., are making slightly more conscious ingredient choices, and making sure these casseroles have extra veggies. Looking for less carbs? Try our keto breakfast casserole (good for breakfast for dinner too), our zucchini lattice lasagna, or our loaded cauliflower bake. Want something plant-based? Try our vegetarian moussaka (we swapped ground beef for lentils), our vegan green bean casserole, or our vegetarian baked ziti. Just looking for something simple and classic, that feels a little more healthful? Try our baked eggplant Parm, our “skinny” cheeseburger casserole, or our turkey zucchini enchilada casserole. They’ve all got mindful swaps or hacks, but will still hit the comfort food spot. Feel free to take inspiration from these recipes, and make healthier swaps in your favorite casseroles too.
