The Best Artichoke Casserole

This stuffed artichoke casserole recipe is in the running for my favorite casserole right now. And that's saying something because I've made a ton of casseroles recently.

There are just so many things I love about this artichoke casserole. It's such a simple recipe, yet it packs so much deliciousness. The artichoke hearts are layered in a casserole dish and then topped with a breading that is just to die for. I mean, the breading is seasoned to perfection, a little cheesy, and crisps up wonderfully when the artichokes bake. How tasty does that sound?

And along with being so tasty, it's so easy to make too!

As I mentioned, it only takes a few minutes to prepare the casserole, which just involves making the breading and topping the artichokes with it. That's seriously it, and then the oven takes care of the rest.

So this excellent and easy recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner side dish or as a side dish for sharing at a pot-luck party. The stuffed artichoke casserole is guaranteed to be the talk of the night!

By the way, if you're serving this for dinner and want to complete your meal with a main course dish, this stuffed pepper casserole that cooks in one skillet or these air fryer frozen chicken breasts are two great options since the oven will be occupied with the casserole.

Ingredient Substitutions and Modifications

Now, I always make this recipe as written above, and it never fails to be the talk of the party. So I suggest making this recipe exactly as written at least once, then making changes to make this casserole with your own personal spin.

That said, I've listed a couple of ideas to elevate this artichoke casserole and make it a new experience each time you make it.

First things first, anyone who loves artichokes has probably had the iconic spinach and artichoke dip. So try making this casserole into a spinach artichoke casserole by adding spinach to the mix. You can use thawed frozen spinach and add it as a single layer on top of the artichokes.

Speaking of artichokes, this recipe calls for canned artichokes, but if you don't have them on hand, you can use frozen artichoke hearts instead. Just make sure to thaw them at room temperature before you put them into the baking dish.

Oh, and if you don't have fresh garlic, you can always use garlic powder instead, and it'll be just as flavorful.

Finally, to serve the baked artichoke casserole, lemon zest or lemon juice is a delicious addition that adds a little tang and brightens up all of the flavors.

How to Make Artichoke Casserole

I know you're probably getting tired of me saying this, but this stuffed artichoke casserole recipe is so easy to make.

You literally just have to mix the breadcrumbs together with the grated cheese and seasonings, assemble the casserole with the artichokes, and let it bake. So even if you're new to the kitchen, I'm confident you'll nail this recipe.

So let's not waste another second and get cooking!

Step 1: Make The Bread Crumb Mixture

First, you're going to preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a casserole dish with half of the olive oil. I like to use a paper towel or brush to spread the oil on the dish.

Anyway, next, you can add the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, grated cheeses, salt, and black pepper to taste, along with the remaining olive oil, to a mixing bowl. Then give all of these ingredients a good mix until they combine and a crumbly, compact mixture forms.

Step 2: Build the Casserole

Now, nestle the artichoke hearts in a single layer on the prepared casserole dish. 

Then, you can evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of all of the artichokes. Make sure to cover the artichokes completely with the breadcrumbs - you can use a spoon to help you distribute them.

Step 3: Bake The Casserole

Now that this stuffed artichoke casserole is ready, tightly cover it with aluminum foil, or you can put a lid on your baking dish if it has one. Then you can put the casserole in the oven and bake it for about 20 minutes.

After that time is up, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200ºC) and remove the aluminum foil or lid from the casserole dish. Then put it back in the oven and bake the casserole for an additional 10 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.

Finally, serve the artichoke casserole with bread crumbs warm with an extra sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!

How to Store Artichoke Casserole

This recipe for artichoke casserole makes 4 servings. So if you're sharing this dish, I doubt you'll have any leftovers. But if you do, don't worry, you can store leftovers easily!

Once the baked artichoke casserole has cooled completely, transfer the leftovers to an airtight container or put a lid on the baking dish, and you can store the breaded artichokes in the fridge for 3-5 days. 

With that said, if you want to keep the casserole for longer, you can keep it in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and keep it in the freezer for 10-12 months.

How to Reheat Artichoke Casserole

When you're ready to enjoy these stuffed artichokes again, you'll definitely want to warm them up. The quickest way to do that is to put the artichokes in a bowl or on a plate and microwave in 30-second increments until they're heated through.

If you're reheating a few portions, you can put the artichokes back in a casserole dish and heat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature. 

Wrapping It Up

Well, that's how to make artichoke casserole!

I know I'm biased, but I think this is by far the best artichoke recipe you'll ever make. I mean, it has everything that makes a stuffed artichoke so good. From the crumbly breadcrumbs with a seasoned savory cheese mix to the tender artichokes, it's just so delicious.
