There are so many reasons to love casseroles. They're comforting. They feed a lot of people. They often—but not always—include cheese. They're the answer to "What can I bring to the holiday dinner?" or "What can I bring to the potluck?" or "What can I bring to the family that just had a baby?" (Here's where your casserole carrier comes in handy!)

Out of all the countless casseroles we have here on Allrecipes, these are the 10 that our members have saved the most. This means they're beloved by hundreds, maybe thousands, of home cooks who want to serve the most delicious foods to their friends and families. This list includes breakfast, side, and dinner casseroles, so you can enjoy a good casserole any time of day. And if you can't finish the whole thing, casseroles often freeze very well.

Yes, this is a classic Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish, and many of our readers make it every year during the holidays. But why relegate it to just twice a year?

Many home cooks chose to add a packet of taco seasoning, or homemade taco seasoning, to this easy and delicious recipe, which is a bit like nachos in casserole form. One member called it "a go-to recipe forever!"

Best Green Bean Casserole

This is always a favorite on the holiday or neighborhood potluck table. Make it with just the four ingredients it calls for—green beans, cream of mushroom soup, Cheddar cheese, and canned French-fried onions. Or, jazz it up a bit with crumbled bacon or Parmesan cheese (or both).

Best Tuna Casserole

This tuna casserole with noodles, which members say tastes even better the next day, is the best use of canned tuna we can think of. It's topped with potato chips, but crackers or panko (sprinkled with a bit of salt) would give the same vibe.

Squash Casserole

This Southern classic turns the abundance of summer's yellow squash into a cheesy, crunchy casserole that's perfect just as it is. But some members throw in bacon that they cook up while sautéing the onions, and who can argue with that?

This creamy corn casserole made with both creamed corn and whole corn kernels is sort of like a corn soufflé. According to members, it's "fantastic warmed over for breakfast!"

You can make this hash brown, bacon, and cheese casserole up to two days ahead before baking, which is one of the reasons everyone loves it. The other reason is that it's so adaptable. Sub sausage for the bacon. Switch up the cheeses. Add some veggies.

Shake up Taco Tuesday by making one big taco casserole. You can still add the fixings—shredded lettuce, sour cream, avocado, extra salsa—to individual portions so everyone can have it the way they like it.
