Casserole Meals
The rich and warming nature of casserole meals makes them the perfect option for cosy dinners and family meals. We’ve dedicated a lot of time to create a variety of casserole ready meals that cater to a variety of preferences and tastes; whether you had a hearty lunch in mind, a romantic meal for two or any other occasion. Many of our casseroles can be cooked in the oven straight from the freezer, or simply microwaved, so you don’t have to mess around in the kitchen - just make sure to check the packaging of your meal before you start. With lots of different types of casseroles on offer, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
If you prefer a hearty meat dish, there are plenty of satisfying casserole ready meals to choose from, especially if you appreciate our other chicken meals or pork meals. For a classic option, try our Sausage Casserole, featuring sliced pork and leek sausages with new potatoes, bacon, and leeks in an apple and mustard sauce - the perfect casserole lunch to enjoy at home. Alternatively, our Hearty Chicken Casserole is a fantastic choice if you prefer poultry - made with chicken leg and thigh amongst a variety of vegetables and a well-seasoned sauce, it’s a crowd favourite that everyone can tuck in to. It’s also a great gluten free meal should you need to be catering for dietary restrictions.
For those seeking vegetarian meals, don’t worry - you can also have some of our delicious casserole meals delivered to your door. For instance, our Red Lentil & Mixed Bean Casserole combines tender red lentils, mixed beans, roasted vegetables, and green beans in a flavourful tomato and basil sauce, an extremely tempting option for vegetarians and food lovers alike. The great thing about this casserole ready meal is that it’s not only a vegetarian and dairy free meal, but it’s also an amazing healthy meal option clocking in at just over 200 calories!

With our frozen casseroles, you can have exactly the dinner you fancy without faffing around in the kitchen yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a casserole?
A casserole is a slow-cooked dish made by braising meat, fish, or vegetables in liquid - stock, wine, or tomato - in a covered pot over low heat. The long cooking time breaks down tough cuts and builds layers of flavour that quick cooking can't replicate. Classic examples include Beef Bourguignon, Sausage Casserole, and Chicken Casserole. COOK's casserole range is built on these foundations - made using the same methods and cooking times as the originals, then frozen to lock in depth of flavour.
Why buy a COOK casserole rather than making one from scratch?
A proper casserole takes 2-3 hours of slow cooking, often more. COOK's casseroles have already put in that time. Heat from frozen and get the depth of a slow-cooked dish in a fraction of the time - no shopping, no stirring, no large pot to wash.
When does a casserole work best?
Casseroles suit a wide range of occasions: a warming weeknight dinner, a stress-free dinner party main (serve with mash and greens), or as a batch-cooking alternative that needs no Sunday afternoon. COOK's portioned casseroles work equally well for one person or a table of four.
Are there gluten-free or dairy-free casseroles in COOK's range?
Absolutely - options like our Beef Bourguignon, Mediterranean Lamb Stew and Spanish Bean Stew with Peppers & Kale are all gluten-free and dairy-free. Check the product cards on this page to see what casseroles are labelled as gluten-free or dairy-free friendly.
