Dinner recipes

Dinner recipes for weeknights and weekends, from 15-minute pastas to slow-cooked mains. Many are built around chicken, ground beef, cod and salmon, with potatoes, roasted vegetables and casseroles on the side. Pasta and comfort food are well covered, with Midnight Pasta with Garlic and Lemon, Beef Stroganoff and Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole, alongside Butter Chicken, Steak Fajitas and Louisiana Seafood Gumbo.

For busy evenings, look for the titles with short times, such as Low Carb Baked Cod and Chicken Sloppy Joes. Twice Baked Potato Casserole and One-Pot Shepherds Pie suit a slower evening or can be made ahead. Several dishes are vegetarian, like Stuffed Peppers with Quinoa and Tomato Cheese Phyllo Tart, and air fryer sides and appetizers round out the table.
