Comforting Strawberry Casserole
Bake this comforting strawberry casserole with golden biscuits and juicy strawberries. An easy, budget friendly dessert perfect for family gatherings.
Strawberry desserts have always been a favorite in my household, but I wanted something different from the usual shortcake or pie. This strawberry casserole caught my eye because it is warm, cozy, and full of flavor, while still being easy to put together. It is the kind of recipe that feels both nostalgic and new at the same time.
When I served this casserole, my family was immediately drawn in by the smell of baked strawberries filling the kitchen. The fruit turns bubbly and sweet while the topping becomes golden and tender. It was one of those desserts where everyone went back for seconds, and we ended up finishing the dish the same evening.
What I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can make it as a casual weeknight dessert, or dress it up with whipped cream or ice cream for special occasions. It is affordable, simple, and a guaranteed hit for anyone who loves the taste of fresh strawberries baked into pure comfort.
Questions You May Have About This Recipe
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but thaw them first and drain excess liquid to keep the casserole from getting too watery.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can assemble the casserole a few hours in advance and bake it right before serving.
What toppings work best?
Whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or even a drizzle of cream cheese glaze all pair beautifully.
Do I need to sweeten the strawberries?
Yes, adding sugar helps the strawberries release their juices and creates a nice syrupy base.
Can I store leftovers?
Yes, refrigerate covered for up to three days. Warm in the oven before serving.

Tips
Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
For extra sweetness, sprinkle the biscuit tops with sugar before baking.
Add a pinch of cinnamon to the strawberries for a warm flavor twist.
