Sunday dinners are usually a labor of love ? the kind of slow-cooked, pure comfort meal that finishes out a relaxing weekend and gives you a boost for the week ahead. These casseroles bring the whole meal together in a single baking dish for slice-and-serve ease. Brunchers will love breakfast-themed bakes with eggs, hash browns, and cheese. Layered casseroles in Italian and Mexican flavors will also please your family. And since the classics are still at the top of any favorites list, there's the requisite Chicken Divan, Tuna Noodle, and Tamale Pie. Just a few reasons why Sunday dinner is still our favorite meal of the week.

Instead of filling and rolling each enchilada, treat tortillas like lasagna noodles and layer them between the sauce, chicken, black beans, and cheese. It’s brilliant, fast, and delicious.
