Fall is casserole season for me. Nothing beats a bubbly dish straight from the oven!

So I put together this list of high protein casseroles. Every single one has at least 30 grams of protein.

I’m the kind of cook who wants one pan and minimal cleanup. My fajita chicken casserole at #17 is a favorite, 49 grams of protein and it practically cooks itself!
