Whether you're ready for it or not, autumn is here once again, and so are the iconic pumpkin casserole dishes.

That's right, it's time to crack out your favourite autumn decor ideas as we bid farewell to long summer evenings and welcome in cosy nights, cooking our favourite comfort meals. And what better way to truly embrace the season than to cook said meals in a pumpkin-shaped dish?

As we enter September, it's the perfect time to start your autumn reset rituals and begin surrounding yourself with all things pumpkin-shaped and pumpkin-spiced. Should you be that way inclined, of course.

Some of our favourite brands have certainly got the seasonal memo, with Anthropologie's autumn collection offering more than one excuse to get shopping.

However, what's got us particularly excited is the annual release of the Le Creuset pumpkin casserole dish. And although we'd argue Le Creuset is definitely worth the price, the lookalikes are just irresistible this year.

Some of our favourite budget-friendly shops have caught on to the pumpkin craze and released their very own versions of the iconic dish. Some with various colourways and sizes too!

Meaning you no longer have to umm and ahh about splashing the cash for a piece of seasonal cookware (although we're certainly all for investing in high-quality pieces if you can). Instead, you can start your cosy autumnal cooking in one of these affordable yet charming alternatives...
