Clarke Ham, spicy chorizo, or Italian-style sausage—there are so many delicious pork varieties to choose from. We've collected our favorite casserole recipes featuring the tender, salty, sometimes peppery flavor of pork, whether it's an egg-and-ham casserole for breakfast or baked ziti for dinner. Here, we're serving up delicious savory casserole recipes that star the other white meat. 01 of 18 Baked Ziti with Sausage Southern Living Baked ziti is one of the easiest Italian-meets-busy evening dinner dishes, and we find ourselves reaching for the recipe often. This spin on classic baked ziti calls for pancetta, or cured pork belly, which is the same thing as bacon without the smoke. It adds pure flavor to this dish, and you can find it in the deli case of most supermarkets. 02 of 18 Ham-and-Vegetable Cobbler Iain Bagwell Pretty much anything goes in this catch-all cobbler, which means it is great to make when you’re cleaning out the cabinets and want to throw it all in a dish that your hungry family will enjoy for supper. We made our cobbler with ham, sweet peas, mushrooms, carrots, and a flaky piecrust. We love how practical it is, along with the elegance of the basketweave crust. 03 of 18 Skillet-Baked Ziti With Andouille, Tomatoes, And Peppers Hector Manuel Sanchez Here we give the Italian-American classic a dose of hot and spicy flavor from Andouille. This heavily smoked pork sausage is commonly associated with jambalaya and gumbo but can be used in place of hot Italian sausage or pepperoni. 04 of 18 Ham And Noodle Casserole Jen Causey This comforting, quick-to-prepare casserole comes from the kitchen of Laurabell J. Long of Peru, Indiana. Made with egg noodles, chopped ham, loads of vegetables, and a rich and creamy sauce, this one is sure to be a winner. The secret ingredient is the chive-and-onion flavored cream cheese, which adds a ton of flavor. 05 of 18 Stuffed Ham-And-Cheese Croissant Casserole Jennifer Causey; Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Stylist: Missie Neville Crawford We decided to take the rich and buttery breakfast sandwich and make it that much more extravagant. This ooey-gooey casserole features ham and Swiss cheese baked in a custard of eggs, whole cream, and Dijon mustard. But the beauty of this recipe is that you can use any sandwich ingredients you love. 06 of 18 Mac And Cheese With Ham Beth Dreiling Hontzas If your family requests baked macaroni all the time, try the addition of ham for an unexpected treat. The creamy mixture of meat, pasta, Gouda, and sharp Cheddar is topped off with crushed cornflakes and melted butter. We've included adaptations for a Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese, Sweet Pea-and-Prosciutto Macaroni and Cheese, Pimiento Macaroni and Cheese, and Ham-and-Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese as well. 07 of 18 Cheesy Ham, Corn, And Grits Bake Made with cubed ham, fresh corn, and flavorful thyme, this impressive dish is an easier twist on a soufflé that features your favorite cheese grits. Plus, you can make this casserole ahead of time and pop it in the oven when it's ready to bake. Fresh summer corn kernels have the freshest flavor, but you can use frozen any time of year. 08 of 18 Cheesy Sausage, Egg, And Hash Brown Casserole Victor Protasio; Food Styling: Melissa Gray; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis This hearty casserole is comfort at its finest. All your favorite breakfast ingredients are spiced up with Poblano chile and bell peppers. Use refrigerated, not frozen, diced potatoes for the quickest preparation. 09 of 18 Caramelized Onion, Spinach, And Pork Strata Victor Protasio; Food Styling: Torie Cox; Prop Styling: Kay E. Clarke This recipe calls for slow-cooking pork chops before preparing the strata—you'll find it's worth it when you bite into each tender bite. The dish includes a tasty combination of French bread cubes, sweet caramelized onions, baby spinach, and Swiss cheese. This strata can be served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 10 of 18 Sausage-Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole Antonis Achilleos; Prop Styling: Christine Keely; Food Styling: Tina Bell Stamos This hash brown casserole calls for both sagey and spicy sausage for ultimate flavor. And it has the convenience of using hash browns from the freezer. Sprinkle with flat-leaf parsley for a pretty and colorful touch. 11 of 18 Pizza Casserole Photo: Greg Dupree This dish provides all of the flavor of a great pizza in one baking dish. The deluxe mixture of pizza toppings is sealed with a layer of fresh and shredded mozzarella baked to a golden brown. Made with rigatoni pasta, bell pepper, Portobello mushrooms, black olives, and pepperoni, you won't miss that slice for a second. 12 of 18 Sausage Gravy Casserole With Cheddar-Cornmeal Biscuits If you like traditional biscuits and gravy, you'll think you have it made when you taste this peppery sausage gravy topped by homemade Cheddar-Cornmeal Biscuits. This dish is made to be frozen or baked and served immediately. That calls for a double batch. 13 of 18 Eggs Benedict Casserole Greg DuPree; Food Styling: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Styling: Kay E. Clarke Try this simple and sophisticated way to achieve delicious eggs Benedict without all the hassle of poaching eggs. The recipe features the usual Canadian bacon and English muffins (chopped into bite-size pieces), baked in a mixture with eggs, milk, scallions, and bacon. You'll use the blender for an easy hollandaise sauce when it's time to serve. 14 of 18 Sausage-and-Spinach Breakfast Casserole with Cornmeal Biscuits Photographer: Jennifer Causey; Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Stylist: Missie Neville Crawford Get your greens right alongside biscuits and sausage-studded gravy. If you can find it, smoked sausage, such as Conecuh, adds a rich smokiness to the white gravy. The drop biscuits are designed to be a crumbly hybrid of the South's two favorite breads: biscuits and cornbread. 15 of 18 Pulled Pork Mac And Cheese Greg DuPree; Food Styling: Rishon Hanners; Prop Styling: Christine Keely This Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese is a two-for-one Southern special. It's punchy or sweet, depending on your favorite barbecue sauce. It's creamy and cheesy and topped with bread crumbs, which is what we love about baked macaroni and cheese. 16 of 18 Smoked Pork-Stuffed Pasta Shells Antonis Achilleos; Prop Styling: Kay E. Clarke; Food Styling: Emily Nabors Hall This hearty, weeknight-friendly dish calls for a pound of pulled pork from your favorite barbecue restaurant. Simply arrange stuffed shells in a baking dish, layer a barbecue-marinara sauce and cheese mixture over top, and bake. And it's a freezable recipe too. 17 of 18 Italian Casserole Hector Manuel Sanchez This quick and easy Italian Casserole came to us from Mrs. Harland J. Stone in Ocala, Florida, in 1990, and we're still making it. The dish combines spaghetti with cream-of-mushroom soup, spinach, sausage, tomato, ricotta, and flavorful herbs. Pair it with a green salad and some warm bread for a savory and satisfying meal. 18 of 18 Herbed Sausage Breakfast Casserole Jennifer Davick This one is for the cooks who love to use the slow-cooker. The dish is beautifully layered, with hash browns at the bottom, a mixture of sausage, peppers, and onions in the middle, and a layer of eggs and cheese at the top. Cook on LOW for four hours.
