Our Best Sunday Dinner Ideas

It’s always nice to enjoy a comforting meal, especially for a Sunday dinner. The only drawback is that many classic Sunday dinners like pot roast, lasagna and pot pies are… well, labors of love. They’re recipes you make when you have all day to cook because they take time. But we believe you can achieve decadent dinners without babysitting your supper—and we've rounded up the recipes to prove it. Sure, some of them take longer to make than a typical weeknight dinner, but none of them are difficult (or an all-day project). For instance, this sauce is fully loaded with pork, beef, sausage and meatballs, and is sure to become a family tradition that leaves you time to relax. Your Sundays are now free!
