Enjoy the flavors of spring in these healthy spring casserole recipes. These casseroles are packed with seasonal ingredients like peas and kale and make the perfect side or main dish. Recipes like Spinach, Feta & Rice Casserole and Creamy Mushroom, Chicken & Asparagus Bake are flavorful and highlight spring produce in a delicious way.Our casserole recipes are simple and satisfying, but some easy guidelines will ensure a successful outcome: Always thoroughly read the recipe before starting and use a recommended oven-safe dish or skillet. When prepping, know that ingredients cook evenly when cut to about the same size, and bite-sized ingredients are much easier and more pleasant to eat in a casserole. If the instructions call for covering the casserole when baking, be sure to do it so the ingredients don’t dry out. When the casserole is done cooking and piping hot, let it rest for a bit. You’ll save your tongue and the roof of your mouth from being scorched, and the casserole will taste better.
