- can be made fairly quickly
- easily make ahead for busy days

One-Pot Dinner Recipe Tips
- Make sure to use a pot that is large enough. Avoid overflowing the dutch oven, skillet or main pot used in cooking. I am good at filling pots to the very brim and then having food boil over which is not ideal. If you aren’t sure between two pots, go for the bigger option to play it safe unless the recipe specifies.
- Stay close to the stove. Walking out of the room when you are working on a one-pot dish can be the difference between a good dinner and ruining it and calling for carryout or delivery. Groceries are much too expensive these days to risk it!
- Prep all the ingredients. Have all of your ingredients ready to go before starting to ensure success, especially recipes that are super quick.

Sheet Pan Recipe Tips
- For quick cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper. Parchment paper will make cleaning up an already simple dish even easier. Always a great idea!
- Remove pan slowly in case of liquid or juices. Some meats will release a decent amount of juice. Pull the pan from the oven slowly to keep from that splashing on your skin.
- Use two pans if you run out of room. You don’t want to overcrowd a sheet pan. Instead, if you are finding that your ingredients won’t fit, spread them out across two different pans.
- Use the middle rack of the oven unless the recipe otherwise specifies. This should keep the food from cooking too fast and becoming burnt or ending up with dry meat.
Hope you love these–make life a bit easier for you tonight and whip up a one pan or one pot dish!
