Sometimes simplicity is the best solution. Treat yourself to a one-bowl meal (and we're not talking about soup) that mixes everything up in a great tumbled combination of awesome flavors.

Searching for a lighter alternative to heavy pizza? Look no further than our fantastic flatbread recipes. From bright and fresh options that are perfect for summertime outdoor entertaining (we're looking at you, Chicken and Peach Flatbreads and Pea Pesto Flatbread) to fancy guest-worthy dinners (this Fig Jam and Goat Cheese Flatbread is sure to impress), you'll keep coming back to our collection of easy flatbread pizza recipes. 

The word cacciatore translates to hunter in Italian, and typically refers to a hearty meat dish made with a tomato base and fresh herbs.

The classic combination gets a makeover in these tasty twists on the BLT sandwich.

Traditional Caesar salad is characterized by that tangy, so-good-that-it’s-addictive dressing— but that’s not the only way to do it. Different greens provide different flavor and you can add protein or additional citrus. If you’re crazy about Caesar salad, our variations will only add to your love of this classic dish!

Super-savory mini meat pies are the perfect completment to a seasonal salad or roasted veggies for a well-rounded, satisfying meal. Make a batch and freeze another for quick and comforting weeknight dinners or bake for a grab-and-go meal before holiday travels. 

Packed full of bright citrus flavor, this dish makes for a perfect fuss-free weeknight dinner. Feel free to make the creamy yogurt dip in advance to speed up the prep on this fast and fresh dinner even more. Tangy Greek yogurt and fresh mint are a refreshing balance to the heat of a jalapeño, but to tame the spice a bit more, simply remove the seeds of your jalapeño before dicing and stirring into the yogurt. This recipe serves 2, but is easily doubled to serve more (or if you want to make sure you have leftovers). If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in cold water prior to grilling. 

This fresh, spring-inspired vehicle for poke proves that pizza doesn’t have to be unhealthy! You'll want to use the freshest ahi tuna you can get your hands on for this vibrant, company-worthy entree. 

An immersion blender is handy for pureeing this soup. Cardamon, allspice, anise, sherry, thyme, cumin, and bay leaf create a rich blended flavor when melded together in your slow cooker. Make this soup for comfort on a chilly winter night, with leftovers for lunch the next day. 

Ground guajillo chile powder is found in Mexican markets and adds a complexity to the stew that regular chili powder cannot. Though it's more mild compared to other chile powders, guajillo chile powder is tangy, smoky, and rich. 

Buttery, tender biscuits are the perfect vehicle for Roast Beef Steaks and the Mustard sauce is just tart enough to balance the richness of the meat. This country spin on a slider is decadent, comforting, and crowd-pleasing; great for Super Bowl get-togethers, brunch, or a cold winter morning. We love adding Pickled Red Onion for added flavor and color. White Lily self-rising flour makes the biscuits a breeze, but if you need to save time, just use your favorite brand of frozen biscuit. 

Use quick-cooking packaged ramen noodles (ditching the seasoning packet) as a base for this easy and cheesy noodle bowl.

Serve this saucy dish over pasta with a side salad for a restaurant-worthy meal. The recipe serves eight; if you have leftovers, transform them into soup by shredding the chicken, adding diced zucchini and carrots, and combining the sauce with chicken stock.

Everyone enjoys a philly cheesesteak or a beef wellington, but merge the two and you have the always crowd-pleasing beef phillyngton. Get the best of both worlds with these individual masterpieces of puff pastry, filet mignon, onion, and bell pepper. 

This impressive and vibrant meal comes together surprisngly quick thanks to the power of the grill and the power of spatchcocking. If you've never tried it before, spatchcocking is a technique that refers to removing the bird's back bone so that you can butterfly the whole chicken open. This technique is a guaranteed route to succulent meat, ultra-crispy skin, and a much quicker cooking time. 

Three cheesey layers of al dente pasta, tender broccoli, and flavorful sausage make a satisfying pasta dish- no bowl needed.

Turn up the heat with these spicy recipes. 

Get ready for big, bold, and oh so beefy. The test kitchen chef who created this recipe jokes that it’s better titled “Umami Beef Incarnate,” because the dish truly is the embodiment of beef’s incredible power to wield savory flavor to the max. With all of the umami-laden components uniting in this dish—ingredients like tomato paste, cabbage, soy sauce, bonito, sherry, etc.—this is a job for beef and beef alone (as in, this recipe is no place for your chicken and salmon). Gochujang, a Korean chile paste and serious umami booster, can be found at your local Asian market. But if you have trouble finding it, you can also substitute an additional 1 tablespoon of tomato paste for the gochujang.  

Slow cooking excels with this recipe. The beef slowly braises until it practically falls to shreds. Complete your sandwich with mozzarella or provolone cheese. Although it's great on sandwiches, the meat is also delicious over a baked potato topped with sour cream.

"Pasta primavera" refers to any dish with pasta and vegetables, but don't make just any pasta primavera. This gorgeous, 15-minute version incorporates fresh peas, aspargus, and grape tomatoes requiring little prep. Top with fresh basil and proscuitto just before serving for a show-stopping meal with minimal effort. 

TV dinners used to be quick ready-made meals that were popped in the microwave or the oven before everyone gathered around the tube to watch some prime-time television. These meals were classic meat and two's or comforting casserole dishes like baked macaroni and cheese. Because the nostalgia is too delicious to pass up, these DIY meals are the perfect solution for that TV dinner craving without the pre-made packaging or iffy ingredients. 

Vegetarian recipes from Food & Wine magazine that are so good, you won’t even miss the meat! 

Dried beans don’t have to be soaked—just toss them into the Instant Pot. This cuts hours off of prep time. You should be able to find Spanish chorizo at your local grocery store. Some varieties are more sweet and some are more spicy, depending on the type of paprika used to season the pork.
