Easy One Pot Meals Roundup {7 Delicious Recipes}

Easy one-pot meals are the best recipes. They're delicious dinners and easy to clean up! I love these seven recipes when I need something quick, filling, and on the table with minimal mess.

​All of these recipes are tried and true. In 2013 I first tried a few One Skillet recipes.  I had 2 toddlers and a new baby on the way.  I've been repeating these recipes ever since.  They have now been on our regular menu for 11 years.

Easy One Pot Meals

*Easy- no need to dirty up the whole kitchen full of dishes.

*Filling- all of these use pasta or rice and are comfort meals to the max.

*Simple- no fancy ingredients. Instant family favorites.

Tips

  • *Make sure you are stirring often so that the ingredients don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • *Use a large skillet for these one-pot dinners.  Everything needs room to develop the layers of flavor
