Nothing quite satisfies like a casserole dish full of steaming-hot cheesy pasta, especially if the cheese stretches out appealingly as you lift a serving to your plate. We've got five of our most filling, and in a couple of cases, easiest recipes to satisfy everyone in the family on a busy weeknight. Plus, when was the last time you had stuffed shells?

You too can witness the melty stretch of mozzarella as you lift up a scoop of sausage and kale pasta bake. When we're not centrifuging and sous-viding stuff (*we have never done this), we're throwing together comfort food dishes like this homestyle rigatoni casserole full of the stuff we were just going to make separately anyway.

Cookbook author, food and drink writer and Food Republic contributor Chris Chamberlain loaned us this dish from his new book, The Southern Foodie, which, by the way, sold like hotcakes on QVC. His mushroom gratin recipe makes a great side for a weeknight dinner, or a fancy yet comforting addition to a holiday meal. Use any kind of mushrooms you like, especially while they're in season.

We believe that lasagna is so much more than just noodles, sauce and cheese. It's a technique, a way of life and a devotion to the transformative properties of comfort food. When you combine the earthy, mellow flavor of eggplant with universally pleasing freshly roasted chicken in this way, the result is a dish that's perfect to feed a crowd.

Leek and Fontina Gratin Recipe

Welcome leeks to your dinner table

This is a delicious way to serve an underappreciated vegetable, which just happens to be part of the same family as garlic and onions. This dish is great paired with lamb, pork chops or steak. As with any gratin, we recommend whipping up a batch of homemade breadcrumbs. You'll notice the difference in the fresher taste and crisper texture.

We love the combination of sausage, peppers and onions on everything, especially the legendary sandwich that has gotten us through so very many football games. Sadly, the combination — while epic — doesn't always translate into the classiest dinner fare (ahem, Jersey Shore).

Once you know how to make a lasagna, you can try out all sorts of variations. This creamy artichoke lasagna bake recipe is a perfect vegetarian winter dish when fresh veggies are scarce, subbing in frozen artichoke hearts and pine nuts for an earthier taste than your usual tomato-based lasagna.
