Cheesy, cozy potluck casseroles are a proven fan fave, and they're a cinch to whip up and share with a crowd, too. Share one of these best casseroles for company—each feeds eight or more—for a totally delish dish that will make you the real MVP at your meal.
Creamy Corn and Macaroni Bake
Macaroni and cheese will forever rank as one of the best casseroles for company. This thoroughly modern rendition tip-toes the comfort food concept to gourmet territory. (Don't worry, it's still simple to assemble!). Crispy, salty pancetta, two types of cheese, sweet corn kernels, and a parsley-panko bread crumb topping will have everyone coming back for another scoop. Good thing this potluck casserole makes 10 servings!
Pizza Tot Casserole
Jarred pizza sauce, canned olives, and store-bought tots make this an ultra-easy casserole for potluck dinner. How easy is it? You need just 15 minutes to get it oven-ready. The beef and sausage-based mixture will likely disappear much quicker than that once you place the bubbling baking dish on the table.
Deep-Dish Cheeseburger Pizza Casserole
Pot pie meets hamburger in this summery potluck recipe that feeds a whopping 12 hungry guests per pan. Fill it with beef and sausage or trade in your favorite plant-based meat substitute. Once baked, share the cheesy, easy casserole for potluck dinner with all of the classic burger toppings so guests can customize as desired. Of course, you can't go wrong with the classic ketchup, mustard, relish, and fresh veggies!
Apple-Fennel Ham and Egg Casserole
A classic grilled cheese sandwich with cheddar on sourdough is good. But grown-up grilled cheese stuffed with fruit and meat alongside the warm, gooey cheese is even better. Since this is one of the best casseroles for company, we take that idea and mash it up with an egg casserole to deliver one well-balanced brunch that you'll want to share as part of every holiday menu.

Shawarma Casserole
One of our favorite predictions for best food trends of 2022? Borderless cuisine. Middle East meets the Midwest in this party casserole from celebrity chef Molly Yeh. Ground turkey and rice get a leg up in flavor via warm shawarma spices, nutty tahini, piles of fresh herbs, and a salty, crunchy pita chip topping.
Twice-Baked Potato Dump Casserole
Party potatoes are here to stay. And you'll be wild about this riff on the classic, since the cheesy and gooey dish is topped with a generous coating of cheddar cheese and plenty of crunchy bacon crumbles. While it tastes like those fussy twice-baked spuds, this potluck casserole for a crowd is as easy as prep, dump, and bake.
Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole
In case you need a reminder, it's absolutely OK to love ranch dressing as a grown-up. A packet of the signature seasoning blend offers herb-boosted flavor to each and every bite of this three-cheese pasta dish. Mushrooms and bacon lend loads of umami, while chicken adds enough protein to make this one of the most filling (yet easy!) casseroles for potluck dinner.
Baked Cajun Seafood and Rice
The party just got spicy! For a twist on shrimp and grits, try this easy seafood recipe that features rice, shrimp, crabmeat, bacon, and plenty of Cajun seasoning. Bacon boosts the savory flavor while kale or spinach cranks up the nutrition. In addition to being one of the best casseroles for company, this dish earns points for tasting even better the next day.
Fig, Pancetta, and Goat Cheese Brunch Casserole
Dried figs, salty pancetta, tangy goat cheese, and nutty Parmesan team up in this easy yet fancy casserole recipe. Because this brunch menu centerpiece is designed to be assembled ahead and chilled overnight before baking, it's a breeze for stress-free hosting. Need more convincing?

Spicy Green Bean Casserole
Onion-topped, creamy soup-filled green bean casserole is a staple on holiday menus.
