Few foods take comfort recipes to another level quite like cheese, so we’re piling it on and making some seriously epic cheesy casseroles. From a cheesy chicken and broccoli bake to a gooey breakfast casserole, these recipes are the epitome of comfort food.
Cheesy Hamburger Casserole
Think Hamburger Helper … but better. This recipe from The Cheese Knees produces an epic cheesy and meaty remaster of everyone’s favorite childhood dish. Toppings like lettuce, tomato, and chives make a great addition to this hearty bowl.
King Ranch Chicken
This recipe from Delish, named after the biggest ranch in the United States, is like a Tex-Mex lasagna layered with chicken, cheese, corn tortillas, and peppers! Pro tip: Make use of leftover shredded chicken and this Texas classic is even easier to make.
Southwestern Casserole
This tasty comfort casserole from Taste of Home is simple to make—so much so that we love to prepare two at once and freeze one to enjoy later.

Is there anything more comforting than a heap of tater tots baked atop a creamy meat sauce and smothered in cheese? Nope, we didn’t think so. And this recipe from Crunchy Creamy Sweet proves it.
Cheesy Green Chicken Enchiladas
This easy—and cheesy—dish from The Modern Proper comes together nearly as fast as you can order Mexican takeout thanks to a few simple shortcuts … and it tastes even better with a double dose of gooey cheese.

Not one, two, or even three, but FOUR different kinds of cheese go into this epic pasta bake from Bon Appétit, making it a surefire hit for kids and grown-ups alike.
