One Dish Meal

It's ready in 20 minutes.

Say goodbye to the canned version forever.

Don’t forget to fluff it.

Low and slow is the only way to go.

Plus, it’s endlessly customizable.

It's so good I ate it straight from the pot.

Bonus: It’s super easy.

The best thing to happen to egg noodles.

It's a match made in heaven.

Hello, gorgeous.

Meet your new go-to weeknight dinner.

Bonus: It's super easy.

Drown everything in savory brown gravy.

Such a catch.

Many of us turn to beans for our weekly meals. It’s a beloved pantry staple for hearty chili, winter stews, and comforting soups. Canned beans are no stranger to my pantry (there’s always a variety lining the shelves for an emergency), but over these past several months at home, I’ve become a dried bean convert.

It's all about the glaze.

The creamy, garlicky Parmesan sauce is everything.

All the pickle girls out there — this one’s for you.

Consider yourself a pork chop person from now on.

Even better, it’s also simple to make.

And there isn't even heavy cream.

It's the most comforting thing you'll cook this winter.

Pork shoulder is one of my secret weapons in the kitchen. Slow-cooked, it can become a thousand different meals. I can mix in some barbecue sauce and make pulled pork sandwiches, scatter it on top of tortilla chips for pulled pork nachos, or use it as a filling for pulled pork lettuce wraps. And that’s just to start! Here’s everything you need to know about pork shoulder — from choosing the meat to transforming it into a fork-tender meal that can last all week.

You might adore Olive Garden for the unlimited salad and garlic breadsticks (our copycat recipe is seriously legit!) or the ultra-comforting creamy pastas, but for me, it’s all about the luxuriously creamy chicken gnocchi soup. Just thinking about it, I can smell the herb and black pepper-flecked broth and feel the warm, satisfying comfort it brings to my belly.

It might skimp on prep, but it doesn't skimp on flavor.

And it makes your kitchen smell amazing.

Embrace the magic that is store-bought tortellini.

I am not sure which is more tried-and-true when it comes to weeknight cooking: a trusty skillet dinner or crowd-pleasing chicken. It really doesn’t matter, though, because if you bring the two together you have easy eating at its very best. Take your pick between bone-in or boneless thighs, lean chicken breasts, or even whole chicken, because they’re all fair game in these chicken skillet recipes.

One-pan meals are a busy person’s dream come true. Just as with recipes that call for only a few ingredients, you can trust that those requiring just a single piece of cookware are going to be quick to assemble and quick to cook. Plus, you won’t be left with a giant pile of dirty dishes afterwards.

It's my family's most-requested dinner.

So much better than chicken noodle.

Three words: crescent roll crust.

Bonus: It's super easy.

These will warm you right up.

They're the ultimate weeknight dinner.

Oh, and it cooks in just 30 minutes.

It’s on the table in less than 30 minutes!

Dutch ovens are the workhorses of pots. They go from stovetop to oven with ease, making them ideal for braises, soups, stews, and more. Even better, Dutch ovens can be covered to keep foods warm or to transport a hot dish over to a sick friend. Whether you choose a classic cast iron Dutch oven or the ever-popular enameled version, Dutch ovens are easy to clean and can last decades with proper care. I like to think of the day I brought home a Dutch oven as the day my kitchen changed forever.

Your kitchen will feel like a fancy restaurant.

It's the coziest thing you'll cook all winter.

Enjoy with lots of rice.

Everything you love about the classic cheesy pasta, without the fuss.

It's ready in under 30 minutes.

It tastes just like Hamburger Helper.

Quick meals to the rescue.

Ready in just 30 minutes.

Psst, there’s brown butter.

Grab the butter and olive oil.

Your Dutch oven can do a lot more than braise meat.

The trusty pan can do a whole lot more than sear steaks.

Because leftover Thanksgiving sandwiches are overrated.

You’ll cook it again and again.

It's giving Panera soup vibes, only it's way better.

The ultimate chicken and rice combo.

It’s super satisfying.

Oh, and it cooks in 30 minutes.

Top them on vanilla ice cream. (Just trust us.)

A classic that we'll never get tired of.

The perfect sauce does exist.

Trust us: This is best (and easiest!) thing you'll cook in your Instant Pot this year.
