It is a truth universally acknowledged that casseroles create a lot of leftovers. Casseroles are great for feeding a crowd, but are just not as practical when you’re only cooking for one. Besides, if you’re trying out a new recipe and it doesn’t turn out the way you wanted, there’s nothing worse than being stuck with all those unwanted leftovers.
Never fear! There is, in fact, a way to enjoy a delicious homemade meal without having to eat leftovers for all of eternity. Visualize with me: you’re craving something warm and comforting so you open your kitchen cabinet to make a casserole. First you see your trusty 9 x 13-inch pan, but that would make enough food for an army. Then, you see your handy dandy ramekins and a light bulb goes off in your head. Problem solved! It’s the perfect serving size.
You’ll use fewer ingredients and your meals will be fresher since these recipes make enough for one. Casseroles for one were basically made for today’s independent ladies. Make what you want, when you want it!
Make sure to try these recipes in a well-made pot like the Swiss Diamond Nonstick Casserole Pot. Your recipes will turn out much better with the right tools, and this pot is easy to clean and will last a lifetime. Learn how to enter below!
