These comforting, family-friendly and easy recipes can make any morning feel special.

We all know casseroles are the ultimate one-dish wonder. Not only are they one of the most popular comfort foods, but they pack in tons of flavor with very little effort on your part.

While there are many casserole recipes for dinner and side dishes (cheesy potato casserole anyone?) that help you get supper on the table, there’s also no shortage of breakfast casserole recipes that will save the day whether you’re hosting a Christmas breakfast or just need to turn around a boring, rainy Saturday with the kids. And to make sure you always keep things interesting, there’s a taste for every mood, from savory, delicious and easy egg recipes to sweet make-ahead casseroles that remind us of fluffy pancakes and French toast.

Of course, the absolute best part is that most of these are great make-ahead meals or don’t require much hands-on cooking. So once you prep all the ingredients, you can sit back and enjoy a good cup of coffee and catch up with guests while breakfast cooks in the oven. When you set that piping hot casserole dish on the table, you’re practically guaranteed a round of "oohs" and "ahhs." No matter which of these quick and easy breakfast ideas you choose to make, the result will be happy, full bellies all around.
