Peace out, boring dinners. With pasta, tacos, burgers, one-pots, and more, these 60 recipes will make sure you never have another basic meal again. We all want to have that picturesque family dinner (well, kinda)—but nobody wants to slave away for hours in front of a stove after a hectic day. Your best bet is to go with a one-pot dinner that doesn't require too much legwork. As long as you're getting a good balance of some greens and protein, you really can't go wrong—it'll be all the sweeter when you sit down and demolish your creation in 10 minutes flat. Let's face it, nobody feels good eating straight out of the take-out carton anyway.
If you're new to cooking and need some basic pointers, we gotchu right here. Really all you need to know is a little salt and a sharp knife goes a long way. Do yourself a favor and buy an air-fryer while you're at it—those things are magical pieces of equipment that will save you time and oily calories.
So don't stress, just sit back and enjoy browsing some of these dishes until inspiration strikes and you realize your next home-cooked meal is just 30 minutes away! Soon you'll be boiling your next perfectly al dente noodle, while air-frying a lean protein in perfect sync. Now that deserves a glass of wine!
Battered and lightly fried chicken is extra crispy underneath a sticky and sweet honey sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, serve with rice, and you'll never need takeout again!
