Why Is Company Casserole So Popular?
This easy, make-ahead casserole is a fan-favorite for many reasons. For starters, all of the ingredients are affordable and easily accessible. Its blend of three cheeses—cottage cheese, cream cheese, and mozzarella—is satisfying but mild in flavor, which makes this casserole appealing even to picky eaters.
Combined with the filling, affordable ground beef and the tangy marinara, it’s a well-rounded casserole that eats like comfort food but feels special and impressive enough for guests.
What Reviewers Love About Company Casserole
“I made it just as written, but used turkey burger instead of beef. The whole family loved it. It was just as good the second day.”
“This recipe is a version of a casserole my mother made in the 1950s. Instead of mixing the noodles with cheese mixture she layered them. Delicious!”
