Feeding more people than usual gets easier when one dish can handle the main, the side, or the brunch table. These 13 casserole recipes cover beefy bakes, creamy vegetable pans, lasagna layers, taco flavors, chicken, sausage, and a sweet bread pudding finish. Some are built for six or more, while the smaller ones work best as sides or add-ons for a bigger spread.
