93 One-Pot Meals You’ll Keep Coming Back To

Dinner, with Less Mess

There’s no denying that the least exciting part of cooking is cleaning up the mess afterwards. Whether you tackle a good, old-fashioned Sunday supper or a simple weeknight meal, it feels like the dirty pots, pans and plates always pile up fast. That’s where these one-pot wonders come in. Grab your favorite casserole dish to make a dump dinner, break out the cast-iron skillet and whip up rustic chicken and dumplings or turn to your Instant Pot for shrimp scampi in just 20 minutes; whatever you decide, you’ll find that these recipes are wonderfully delicious—and make cleanup a breeze. Take this American version of goulash, for example. It features hearty pasta and plenty of aromatic spices (including paprika as a nod to the traditional Hungarian dish) for a comforting and complete meal that can be made entirely in your Dutch oven. What could be easier?

Macaroni and Cheese

You can't go wrong with Tyler's macaroni and cheese. He uses cheddar and Parmesan to play up the classic flavors. Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes for a perfect golden crust.

Creamy Skillet Chicken

One humble skillet has four jobs in this easy weeknight meal: it sears, sautes, simmers and steams. The cleanup is so minimal, your dishwasher will be out of work!

Get the Recipe: Creamy Skillet Chicken

Perfect Pot Roast

Seared and then roasted in broth for three hours, Ree's pot roast is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser. For a larger 4- to 5-pound roast, plan on roasting for four hours. You'll know it's ready when the meat is fall-apart tender.

Chicken Ramen Noodle Casserole

Low maintenance and packed with flavor, this creamy casserole transforms dorm-friendly ramen noodles into a satisfying casserole for a crowd.

One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni

Nostalgic for the boxed cheeseburger macaroni dinner from your childhood? Then whip up this homemade version of Hamburger Helper that’s just as satisfying as the classic. The recipe is super quick and budget-friendly, leaning on pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand. We use shredded Cheddar to make the dish extra cheesy and finish with chopped parsley for a fresh bite. Perhaps best of all: Everything cooks in one pot, even the pasta!

Get the Recipe: One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni

Fish Chowder

Kardea says, "You'll often find one-pot meals in Gullah cuisine, and this fish stew is definitely that! Creamy, smoky and slightly sweet, it's packed with corn, potatoes, bacon and cod. It also feeds a crowd as an appetizer or main dish".

Get the Recipe: Fish Chowder

Roasted Squash Chili Mac

Who says mac and cheese is just for kids? Surprise your dinner guests with this sophisticated twist on the classic comfort food. Rachael adds chili powder, oregano, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, garlic and chile peppers for a flavor-packed cheese sauce.

Get the Recipe: Roasted Squash Chili Mac

Lobster Macaroni and Cheese

Use tomato paste, heavy cream and sweet chunks of lobster tail to create an extra-thick, extra-decadent macaroni and cheese that's worthy of a special occasion.

Get the Recipe: Lobster Macaroni and Cheese

Mac and Smoked Gouda with Cauliflower

Kids won't object to eating their veggies when you serve up this cheesy dish. Cauliflower lends great texture, but the creamy smoked Gouda still takes center stage.

Get the Recipe: Mac-n-Smoked Gouda with Cauliflower

Mac and Cheese with Bacon

Tyler calls this dish the "ultimate macaroni and cheese," and how could it not be, given the perfect union of sharp white cheddar and crisp bacon? To serve, scatter the bacon mixture over the casserole fresh out of the oven. Use a big spoon to scoop out servings, making sure you get some bacon in each spoonful.

Get the Recipe: Mac 'N Cheese with Bacon and Cheese

Chickless Pot Pie

Trisha's vegetarian take on chicken pot pie is just as decadent without the meat. Although the luscious vegetable filling with peas, carrots and potatoes could be a meal on its own, wrapping it in premade pie dough seals in flavor with a crispy crust.

Get the Recipe: Chickless Pot Pie

Matt

20-Minute Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Pasta

The genius of this recipe is that all of the ingredients — wine, garlic, shrimp — even the pasta — cook together in one pot. Just make sure to use shrimp that's still frozen or they will overcook. You don't have to serve garlic bread with the dish, but there's nothing better for sopping up all that delicious buttery sauce.

Buffalo-Chicken Mac and Cheese

This recipe from Food Network Magazine aims to please any and all palates. The key to getting the perfect bite in every forkful is the layering: macaroni, chicken, macaroni, cheese sauce. Top with the panko-blue cheese-parsley mixture and bake until bubbly.

Get the Recipe: Buffalo-Chicken Macaroni and Cheese

Chicken and Noodles

"Not to be confused with chicken noodle soup," Ree says, "this recipe is more of a thick chicken stew." To thicken the sauce, Ree adds a mixture of flour and water that she calls a "cowboy's roux" — fitting for a hearty meal on the ranch.

Get the Recipe: Chicken and Noodles

Jack's Brunswick Stew

Trisha likes to use hen in her Brunswick stew. It's a fattier bird, which produces a rich broth, but it can be hard to find in grocery stores. Not to worry — standard chicken is just as good, she says.

Get the Recipe: Jack's Brunswick Stew

One-Pot Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese

Add pulled pork to this Cheddar-and-mozzarella mac and cheese; top it with barbecue or hot sauce if you're feeling bold.

Get the Recipe: One-Pot Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese

Beef Stew with Root Vegetables

Ree says that adding beer to this hearty stew provides great flavor, and paprika gives it a rich color and some spice. Serve with cheddar cheese grits to round out a satisfying meal.

Get the Recipe: Beef Stew with Root Vegetables

Leftover Baked Potato Soup

Don't let leftover baked potatoes from last night's dinner go to waste. Alton halves the potatoes, then scoops out the starchy filling and feeds it through a ricer. The potatoes' mild flavor blends perfectly with the buttermilk, sour cream and grated Parmesan.

Get the Recipe: Leftover Baked Potato Soup

Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls

Ina starts by making a homemade chicken stock, which she later uses to cook the matzo balls in. Leave the skins on the onion and garlic — it gives the soup its golden hue, and "it all gets strained later," Ina says.

Get the Recipe: Chicken Soup

Chicken Pot Pie

Ree says not to worry about getting perfect edges on your pot pie crust — that way, it will look rustic. Plus, you'll get to dig in sooner!

Get the Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie

Curry Chicken Pot Pie

To save time, Alton uses a frozen vegetable mix of peas and carrots and prepared puff pastry for this pot pie. After roasting the vegetables, combine with the chicken and curried onion mixture, then top with puff pastry. You'll know your pot pie is ready when the puff pastry has browned and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Get the Recipe: Curry Chicken Pot Pie

New England Clam Chowder

When cooking with clams, "always check for broken or cracked shells," Anne Burrell says, and if you find any, ditch 'em. Steam the clams to open them and reserve the natural clam juices and seawater to flavor your chowder.

Get the Recipe: New England Clam Chowder

Spicy Beef Chili

This recipe from Food Network Kitchen is light on the liquid ingredients, making every bowlful extra meaty. Perfect for parties and get-togethers, you can make this chili up to two days in advance.

Get the Recipe: Spicy Beef Chili

Tyler's Texas Chili

Tyler's Texas Chili is loaded with aromatic flavor, which he achieves by combining browned beef with garlic, chipotles, jalapenos, tomatoes, sugar, a cinnamon stick and Mexican chocolate. Spoon yourself a hearty bowlful topped with queso fresco, cilantro and lime.

Get the Recipe: Tyler's Texas Chili

Spaghetti and Meatball "Stoup"

If you're having trouble deciding what kind of meat you’re in the mood for, try Rachael's Spaghetti and Meatball "Stoup." The recipe calls for a meatloaf mix made from ground beef, pork and veal, available at most butcher counters.

Get the Recipe: Spaghetti and Meatball "Stoup" (thicker than soup, thinner than stew)

Spicy Corn Chowder

Between the tender corn kernels, crisp pieces of bacon and chunks of red potato, the Neelys' corn chowder is loaded with great texture and flavor. And for those who love a healthy dose of heat, this may just be the perfect cold-weather dish.

Get the Recipe: Gina's Spicy Corn Chowder

Manhattan Clam Chowder

This chowder recipe from Food Network Kitchen gives the New England variety a run for its money. Since Manhattan Clam Chowder doesn't require milk or cream, it's much lighter, getting its robust flavor from minced clams, garlic and roughly chopped tomatoes.

Get the Recipe: Manhattan Clam Chowder

Shortcut Fried Chicken and Dumplings

Leftover fried chicken thankfully finds its way into this creamy skillet dinner, and the biscuit-like dumplings bake up into a flaky, golden crust. It's like chicken and dumplings meets pot pie.

Get the Recipe: Shortcut Fried Chicken and Dumplings

Get the Recipe: Italian Chicken Soup with "Toasted" Parmesan Gnocchi

Chicken and Dumpling Soup

For the dumplings in his comforting soup, Michael Symon recommends using an ice-cream scoop to form the dough. Drop them in the hot broth and cover until the dumplings become plump and float to the surface.

Get the Recipe: Chicken-and-Dumpling Soup

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Why use one type of cheese when you can use three? Ree opts for mild cheddar, sharp cheddar and Jack in her thick and creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup. You can splash in some chicken broth for thinning, if necessary.

Get the Recipe: Broccoli Cheese Soup

Teri Lyn Fisher

Chickpeas and Dumplings

We gave the classic comfort food dish, chicken and dumplings, a plant-based twist! We swapped out the chicken broth and shredded meat for vegetable broth and protein-packed chickpeas. Then topped it with homemade drop dumplings that are super fluffy and flavorful, thanks to a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh herbs. Not to mention, the whole dish comes together in one pot, making cleanup a breeze.

Two comfort food favorites collide in this recipe from Food Network Magazine. Start by preparing the broth, then add the milk, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan and macaroni, stirring until the cheeses have melted.

Get the Recipe: Mac and Cheese Soup

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Sunny recommends twining up the thyme, parsley and sage before submerging them in the chicken broth. It makes it easier to remove the herbs once the broth has taken on their earthy flavors.

Get the Recipe: Sunny's Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Matzo Ball Soup

To make the matzo balls, Bobby uses seltzer water, egg and schmaltz (rendered chicken fat used for frying). Staying true to character, he steeps roasted jalapenos in his broth for a spicier soup.

Get the Recipe: Throwdown's Matzo Ball Soup

Chicken Stew

Giada's stew is quick and easy to prepare since it doesn't require cooking a whole chicken. Using only chicken breasts cuts down on time and prep work.

Get the Recipe: Chicken Stew

Mexican Chorizo & Turkey Chili

If you're looking for alternatives to chicken or beef chili, try Rachael's recipe. It calls for turkey as well as Mexican chorizo — a savory, piquant sausage made of ground pork and chile peppers.

Get the Recipe: Mexican Chorizo and Turkey Chili

Quick and Spicy Tomato Soup

Giada's trick to making this recipe so easy is to either buy your favorite store-bought marinara sauce, or to make your own and use the leftovers for the soup broth.

Get the Recipe: Quick and Spicy Tomato Soup

Creamy Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese

No need for a flour-and-butter roux in this easy stovetop version of an old favorite; the cream cheese adds body and richness. If your mac and cheese gets a little stiff as it cools, just stir in some warm water to smooth it out — it works like a charm.

Get the Recipe: Creamy Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese

Get the Recipe: Creamy Pizza Macaroni and Cheese

Breakfast Macaroni and Cheese with Sausage and Hash Browns

The best part of this breakfast-inspired mac and cheese is the hash brown topping. It couldn't be easier: Just thaw frozen hash browns and toss them with butter so they bake up golden and crispy.

Get the Recipe: Breakfast Macaroni and Cheese with Sausage and Hash Browns

Macaroni and Cheese Carbonara

The best parts of the traditional Italian dish of spaghetti carbonara are found in this baked mac and cheese: richness from the bacon, creaminess from grated cheese and spice from black pepper.

Matt

Oxtail Stew

This oxtail stew is inspired by the Jamaican version, with tender oxtails and butter beans seasoned with spicy habaneros, ginger and allspice. Time is the key to the comforting brown gravy, which simmers for several hours, intensifying in flavor and rich color. We love it even more the next day, once the beans have had time to break down and the oxtails melt into the gravy even more. Serve with a few dashes of hot sauce for added heat and acidity.

Get the Recipe: Oxtail Stew

Sloppy Joe and Macaroni Casserole

Try Rachael's modern take on an old-school classic: sloppy joes. Just add macaroni, cheddar and deli-style dill pickles.
