Dinners recipes

Main-course dinners for busy evenings, from 12-minute stir-fries to slow-cooker and oven-baked meals for the whole table. Pasta is a big part of the collection, from one-pot Philly cheesesteak pasta and creamy Boursin tomato pasta to a butternut squash bake.

You will also find skillet dinners like beef potato skillet and sausage and peppers, along with chicken pot pie, turkey chili, hibachi steak and chicken, Peruvian tacu tacu and German potato pancakes. Titles state the time and the number of servings, so you can pick by how long you have: 20-minute quesadillas and steak salad, 30-minute bowls, or 45 to 50 minutes for bakes and pies.

Most dishes cook in a single pan or pot, which keeps cleanup short.
