A casserole is the easiest dinner there is, and it doesn't have to start with noodles or a can of soup. Swap in eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, or green beans and you still get that bubbly, cheesy pan everybody scrapes clean.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on busy weeknights when they want one dish in the oven and something on the table that suits everyone at the table, including whoever is watching carbs.
Every recipe here is a vegetable-forward bake: Cheesy Eggplant and Zucchini Casserole with pasta sauce, The BEST Green Bean Casserole with bacon and diced onion, Low carb Cauliflower Casserole with cream cheese and sour cream, and Loaded cauliflower casserole with broccoli and bacon.
Quick Tips
- 1
Salt the eggplant first
Sprinkle sliced eggplant with salt and let it sit 20 to 30 minutes, then pat dry so the casserole doesn't turn watery.
- 2
Dry the cauliflower well
Roast or steam the florets, then blot them on a towel for a minute or two before mixing with cream cheese and sour cream.
- 3
Crisp the bacon separately
Cook the bacon strips 6 to 8 minutes until crisp and scatter them on at the end so they stay crunchy.
- 4
Rest before serving
Let the pan sit 10 minutes out of the oven so the cheese sets and each scoop holds together.
