Dinner recipes

Dinner recipes for weeknights and slower weekends, from 15-minute pasta sauces to slow cooker roasts and baked casseroles. Quick options include honey garlic shrimp, creamy sausage tortellini and chicken piccata meatballs, all on the table in about half an hour.

When you have more time, the slow cooker handles Greek chicken, honey garlic chicken and butternut squash soup, and the oven turns out stuffed pepper casserole, hobo casserole with ground beef and potatoes, or a roasted chicken dinner. You will also find chowders, curries, grilled salmon, risotto and vegetarian mains built around summer produce.

Browse by the time you have, from quick skillet and one-pot meals to hands-off cooking, and look at the serving size to match your household.
