When the week gets hectic, the last thing you want to worry about is preparing complicated dinners. One-pot meals are the perfect solution for those crazy days. Here are some one-pot meal ideas that are quick, delicious, and sure to satisfy your family.
Creamy Tomato Pasta
Toss pasta, canned tomatoes, and a few spices into a pot. Let it simmer until the pasta is tender. Stir in some cream and grated Parmesan for a rich, comforting dish that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Sausage and Peppers
Slice some sausages and toss them in a pot with bell peppers, onions, and diced tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the sausages are well browned. Serve with crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
Beef and Vegetable Stew
Start by browning some beef chunks, then throw in potatoes, carrots, onions, and beef broth. Let everything simmer until the beef is tender and the veggies are cooked. A perfect stew for colder evenings.
Shrimp and Grits
For a Southern twist, cook grits in a large pot and, in the last few minutes, add shrimp, a touch of cream, and plenty of seasonings. It’s a creamy, seafood dish that’s surprisingly easy to whip up.
