Every year, as the weather cools down, we find ourselves craving comfort food meals. You know the stuff: warm and filling, with lots of stick-to-your-ribs goodness. It doesn't hurt if they're so easy they practically make themselves.

That's why we've gathered this collection of our favorite fall casserole recipes. They're just what you need to warm up. Whether you're preparing breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this list of crazy-good casseroles has you covered. Whether you're in the mood for a chicken casserole, a breakfast casserole, or maybe even a version featuring vegetables (such as a squash casserole or a sweet potato casserole), you'll find just what you're looking for right here. Not only will you love how delicious these fall casseroles are, but you'll also enjoy the minimal work that comes with them. All you have to do is place all the ingredients in the baking dish, put it in the oven, and that's it! You'll have a super-easy meal that everyone in the family will enjoy. Of course, because these recipes are baked in one dish, there's minimal clean-up required, which is another plus. And if you're in the mood for more seasonal recipes, don't worry—we have you covered. A fall cocktail would go great with any one of these casseroles. You could also finish off the meal with a fall dessert—such as a fresh batch of fall cookies, fall cupcakes, or even a fall cake—to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.
