These vegan casserole recipes prove you don't need dairy, eggs, or meat to make a hearty and amazing casserole!
You'll find plenty of variety here, from cheesy pasta bakes and vegetable casseroles to breakfast favorites and holiday sides. Many of these recipes can be prepared in advance, and several have oil-free and gluten-free options, too!
One of the best things about casseroles is how flexible they can be. They're great for using up vegetables, accommodating special diets, or just getting a head start on dinner.
And even though most traditional casseroles are made with dairy and other animal products, there's no need for any of that! Beans, lentils, tofu, pasta, grains, nuts, and vegetables can all help create a hearty, flavorful dish.

Tips for Making Vegan Casseroles
Since casseroles can vary quite a bit, remember to review each recipe for important details before you start cooking.
- Prep ahead: Many casseroles can be assembled or partially prepared in advance. Check each recipe for specific make-ahead instructions.
- Choose the right pan: Pay attention to the recommended pan size and depth. A larger, shallower dish may cook more quickly than a deeper one.
- Consider the moisture: Rice, pasta, and other grains absorb liquid as they cook. Notice whether the instructions say to add these ingredients dry or cook them beforehand.
- Customize it: Depending on the recipe, you may be able to swap vegetables, beans, grains, or plant-based proteins.
- Plan for leftovers: Most casseroles reheat well, making them great for meal prep. Always let leftovers cool completely before storing. Then refrigerate or freeze according to the individual recipe's storage instructions.
