Planning ahead for Easter is a great way to stay stress-free—and spend more time with your family and friends! That’s why we love preparing Easter casseroles for the spring holiday. It doesn’t matter if you’re hosting a crowd or simply attending a church potluck, you can put your casserole dish to good use by whipping up a sweet, make-ahead Easter brunch recipe (like baked French toast) or a savory Easter dinner (like spinach lasagna) right in the 9- x 13-inch pan. Even our Easter breakfast casserole that’s layered with ham and cheese can be made the night before so you’ll have plenty of time to fuel up for the backyard egg hunt!
If you're looking to add some of Ree Drummond's favorite casserole recipes of all time to your lineup, try her Southern twist on green bean casserole made with Cheddar and pimentos. Or opt for the scalloped potatoes and ham that's become one of her family's favorite Easter traditions. And speaking of ham, many of these casseroles will pair perfectly with your glazed Easter roast, while others can act as main courses on their own. After all, who wouldn't want to see the chicken bacon ranch casserole at the center of their table? So, what are you waiting for? Hop to it! These Easter casseroles aren't going to bake themselves.
