These delicious chicken casserole recipes are going to be new family favorites, if they aren't already! Any Southern cook most likely has an arsenal of chicken casserole recipes, not to mention a collection of 9x13 baking dishes.  Chicken casseroles are a staple at family reunions and fellowship halls. But these one-dish wonders are also convenient for busy weeknights because they're affordable, and most all of them can be at least partially prepped ahead of time to help you get supper on the table in a snap. Our favorite 9x13 chicken dinners are layered with rich flavors: from Classic Chicken Tetrazzini to Tex-Mex favorites like Chicken Enchilada Casserole and King Ranch Chicken; from down-home Double-Crust Chicken Pot Pie to a "company's coming" Chicken-and-Wild-Rice Skillet Casserole. Just add dinner rolls and a simple salad.

Recipe: King Ranch Chicken

Hailing from an era when casseroles were king, this Tex-Mex dish still reigns supreme at everything from family dinners to church suppers and neighborhood potlucks. Though not an invention of the famed King Ranch—it's more likely the creation of a ladies' Junior League—the spicy flavors of chili powder, roasted peppers, and toasted cumin never fail to please. Seeded jalapeño and poblano peppers add mild spice, garlic adds bite, and Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, and sour cream add richness to the casserole's creamy texture. If you're in a rush, use a large rotisserie chicken in place of smoked chicken. It's hard to mess up this age-old crowd pleaser.

Recipe: Chicken-Mushroom-Sage Casserole

An upscale chicken-and-rice casserole takes classic chicken and rice from comfort food to culinary masterpiece. The chicken, mushroom, and sage casserole gets a subtly earthy note from fresh mushrooms and plenty of chopped shallots. Sage adds sophisticated, fragrant aroma and warmth. A healthy dash of sherry provides a distinctive, nutty, and sweet flavor. After you pull this casserole out from your oven, resist the temptation to dig in immediately. It needs to stand for a few minutes after baking so the rice will absorb the liquid, yielding a creamy texture. Top with sliced, toasted almonds and fresh sage leaves for crunch.

Chicken and rice is true Southern, down-home, comfort food. This casserole works for everything from a weeknight dinner fix to a holiday potluck dish. Using a long-grain and wild rice mix and toasted almonds in chicken casserole makes it a little bit dressier and fit for company during the holidays, but your family will enjoy it as well. It feeds 10-12, so there may be leftovers.

Try our flavorful variations. Sub shrimp for chicken, Monterey Jack and Parmesan for Cheddar, and dry white wine for milk for Shrimp and Rice Casserole; or add Andouille sausage, green bell pepper, celery, black eyed peas, and Cajun seasoning for the Cajun version.

We also love it because of its versatility - try it with smoky shredded BBQ brisket or pulled pork in place of the chicken, or small cooked, peeled shrimp. Set out the finished dish with sour cream and fresh chopped cilantro for toppings.

Recipe: Onion-Topped Sausage 'n' Mashed Potato Casserole

This hearty Onion-Topped Sausage 'n' Mashed Potato Casserole features a rich, meaty tomato sauce, and time-saving refrigerated mashed potatoes.

It will be hard to wait before digging in, but we recommend letting this casserole set up five minutes after it comes out of the oven before serving it. We hope you can wait.
