Fiber does a lot of good for your body—it supports digestion, helps you feel fuller longer, and can even help manage blood sugar and cholesterol levels. These dinners, all baked in a trusty 9×13-inch casserole dish, each deliver 4 to 10 grams of fiber per serving, making them a hearty and satisfying option.
That said, many casseroles also include ingredients like cheese or cream-based soups, which may be higher in fat and cholesterol. If that’s something you’re watching, think of these as delicious once-in-a-while meals that still bring some fiber-rich benefits to the table.
Chicken Primavera Pasta Bake

“From scratch makes all the difference (no disgusting canned “cream of something soup” here!), plus it’s very adaptable (I omitted the peas). I would have loved this as a kid, and I love it now as an old lady. If you show love by feeding people then serve this dish—they’ll feel loved AND hugged!” —Elsie

Crunchwrap Casserole

Ham and Broccoli Bake
“This is an awesome recipe. I was looking for an alternative recipe for leftover ham. (I love ham). This is easy and quick. My family ate every bit with no leftovers.
