Dinner recipes

Dinner recipes for weeknights and weekends, from 15-minute soups to slow-cooked mains and baked casseroles. Many dishes finish in 20 to 40 minutes, such as Thai basil beef rolls, pumpkin alfredo, and easy beef stir fry. Soups range from creamy Philly cheese steak soup to light summer vegetable and beet soups. For comfort food, look to chicken casserole, white chicken chili, stuffed shells, and ravioli bake.

Foil packets, one-pan chicken and vegetables, and oven-roasted sausage and potatoes keep cleanup short. Seafood is here too, including baked cod in coconut lemon cream. Slow-cooker and Instant Pot recipes suit days when you want dinner ready without standing at the stove, while roasted turkey and ribs fit longer holiday meals. Pick by the time you have, and most recipes list serving sizes up front.
