Easy Dinner Ideas

These are dinners for the nights when the day ran long and nobody wants to think hard about food. Most use ten ingredients or fewer, take 30 to 45 minutes, and lean on things you probably already have: chicken, ground beef, pasta, rice, eggs and a bag of frozen vegetables.

Each recipe gives exact times and temperatures, says what you can prep ahead, and ends with a printable recipe card. If you would rather have the whole week sorted, start with our weekly meal plans and use this page to swap in favorites.
