Easter is such a special time for gathering with loved ones and enjoying great food. Whether you’re planning a festive Easter brunch or a delicious Easter dinner, having a lineup of easy casseroles can take the stress out of your holiday cooking. Casseroles are the best way to feed a crowd, allowing you to focus on enjoying the day instead of spending it in the kitchen.
To help you plan the perfect Easter Sunday, I’ve rounded up 47 fresh recipes for both breakfast and dinner casseroles. From cheesy egg casseroles perfect for a quick breakfast to savory sides like green bean casserole and scalloped potatoes, these recipes are designed to complement your Easter ham and create a memorable holiday spread.
Easy Ways to Make Casseroles Ahead of Time
One of the great ways to save time on special occasions is to prep your Easter casseroles in advance. Here are some simple steps for making your dishes ahead of time:
- Assemble the Night Before
- For recipes like egg casseroles, combine all the ingredients in your casserole dish and store it in the fridge overnight.
- Creamy sides like broccoli or potato casserole can be fully assembled tand hen baked the next morning.
- Bake and Refrigerate
- Casseroles like sweet potato casserole or pineapple casserole can be baked the day before. Reheat them at room temperature in the oven before serving.
- Freeze for Later
- Some casseroles, like funeral potatoes or buffalo chicken casserole, freeze beautifully. Be sure to use foil pans for easy storage and reheat directly in the oven.
Keeping Casseroles Warm for a Crowd
Serving a buffet-style Easter table? Here are the best ways to keep your casseroles warm so that everyone enjoys a hot bite to eat:
- Chafing Dishes or Steno Burners
- Ideal for larger gatherings, these ensure dishes like cheesy potatoes or green bean casserole stay warm without overcooking. After the party, I stack them for easy storage.
- Glass Top Warming Trays
- Available at Costco or online, these are perfect for holding multiple casseroles while keeping them warm. (I love this rollup warming tray for saving space, too!)
- Foil Pans with Lids
- These work well for potlucks or when you need to transport casseroles to another location. Cover with foil to retain heat.

How to Customize Your Easter Casseroles
One of my favorite things about casseroles is their versatility. Mix and match ingredients to suit your family’s taste or dietary needs. Add feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist, or substitute sweet corn kernels for a touch of sweetness on your sides.
Add seasonal veggies like bell peppers for breakfast casseroles, or make it heartier with sausage or bacon. A drizzle of tangy tomato sauce or a sprinkle of green chiles can elevate any casserole recipe for dinner.
