Best Classic Lasagna in Easy Dinner Recipes,This is a classic homemade lasagna recipe made with layers of gooey melted mozzarella cheese, a parmesan ricotta cheese, and a robust tomato meat sauce. It is perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or to take to friends who just had a baby. This lasagna recipe can be frozen so it is perfect to make ahead of time. It also makes flavorful leftovers.
Best Classic Lasagna
Zucchini Lattice Lasagna in Easy Dinner Recipes,Sure, classic lasagna is delicious. Sometimes, though, we crave something a tad less carb-heavy. This zucchini lattice lasagna is the perfect way to lighten up the classic dish for summer. Pro tip: Zucchini releases a good amount of water, so we like to dab it with a paper towel when the lasagna is done the cooking, and then broil until the cheese is bubbly and crispy.
Zucchini Lattice Lasagna
Tuna and Cherry Tomato Spaghetti in Easy Dinner Recipes,Featuring tuna, this six-ingredient pasta is a quick and easy meal - and it goes down swimmingly! Canned tuna is so commonplace you might think it's crazy to make your own. OK, so call this tuna “conserved” instead. It’s not just a change of names. It’s incredibly easy to make and when you’re done, you can use it in all kinds of dishes, from a salad with white beans and arugula to this Tuna and cherry tomato pasta.
Tuna and Cherry Tomato Spaghetti
Pressure Cooker Beef Stew in Easy Dinner Recipes,Make this Comforting Pressure Cooker Beef Stew in Instant Pot. A spoonful of juicy tender beef brisket paired with rich thick tomato sauce. This hearty comforting dish is so satisfying and easy to eat. Deliciously perfect over pasta, rice, or just eat it as is! Beef stews are common in many cultures since ancient times. We love beef stews because the depth of flavors in that rich thick sauce is just incredible!
Pressure Cooker Beef Stew
Shrimp Cocktail in Easy Dinner Recipes,However old-fashioned it may seem, shrimp cocktail is a classic. We've updated this party standby with a zesty homemade sauce that packs a flavorful punch thanks to acidic ketchup, spicy chili sauce, and salty Worcestershire sauce. The small amount of celery salt ties it all together into a perfect condiment. The shrimp is seasoned twice here: once in the shrimp boil and a second time when it hits the sauce right before you bite into it. One taste and you'll know: this old-timer isn't going away anytime soon.
Shrimp Cocktail
Winter Instant Pot Beef Stew in Easy Dinner Recipes,There’s nothing like a good hearty soup or stew during chilly fall and winter nights, am I right? My family loves a warm, hearty soup that has made its way to the top of our other favorite Crockpot Recipes! It’s so easy to put together, it’s perfect for busy weeknight meals, and you’ll have your family going to bed with full bellies.
Winter Instant Pot Beef Stew
Easy Instant Pot Beef Stew in Easy Dinner Recipes,This easy Instant Pot beef stew recipe has a rich and flavorful sauce and tender fall-apart beef, carrots, and potatoes. The perfect hearty family meal made faster than oven or stove methods. Beef stew is one of my favorite things to make in the electric pressure cooker because it saves time/effort when it comes to tenderizing tougher cuts of meat like your standard beef stewing cubes. On the stove, this can take anywhere from 1-2 hours to get the meat tender, but the Instant Pot makes this process quicker and easier in my opinion. It’s hands-off once you close that lid, which is something I like.
Easy Instant Pot Beef Stew
Raw Vegan Pad Thai Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,This pad Thai-inspired raw vegan food salad is hearty enough to serve as an entree and one of our favorites. The flavor in this recipe really comes from the fresh, quality ingredients, in particular, the fresh chopped cilantro, so whatever you do, don't substitute the raw fresh cilantro for dried. It just won't be the same if you do!
Raw Vegan Pad Thai Salad
Lemony Shrimp Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,Toss butter lettuce and shrimp in a lemony vinaigrette then top the dish with the second salad of romaine, tomato, avocado and bacon in a Caesar dressing. Easy Way Combine the best elements of both salads to create one amazing dish. It is definitely easy, healthy, and delicious! Try it out!
Lemony Shrimp Salad
Ham Quiche Lorraine in Easy Dinner Recipes,Originating in France, ham quiche Loraine is made with bacon and cheese. This low carb version uses ham, caramelized onions, Gouda and a unique low carb crust to create a beautiful presentation. This quiche originates from the Lorraine region of France where it is typically made with bacon, onions, and custard of eggs, milk, cream, and cheese. Quiche Lorraine became popular when I was a kid and I remember it served at brunches and Ladies Luncheons. I like the play between the salty ingredients of ham and cheese against the sweet caramelized onions. A little nutmeg adds a nice dimension to the custard and gives it a more sophisticated flavor.
Ham Quiche Lorraine
Ground Beef Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,Have you ever wanted to have the burger without the bun and the carbs that come with it? Then try this salad! It sounds weird, but we promise it works. It has a patty-shaped beef, some lettuce, mayo, ketchup, Cheddar cheese, and onions. Not coincidentally, these are also our favorite burger components. So, if you’re in a burger-craving mode, but still care about your weight, enjoy the delicious flavors, guilt-free.
Ground Beef Salad
Warm Pumpkin, Beef and Spinach Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,Try this Warm pumpkin, beef and spinach salad for your next Sunday lunch! Terrific as a side or as a meal, this is a really magical combination of flavors. How perfect it is for a lazy weekend get together because it's made ahead and a crowd-pleaser because it’s got enough oomph to be a meal in itself whilst still being healthy too. (Who else needs to cater for varying diets at get-togethers?)
Warm Pumpkin, Beef and Spinach Salad
Sesame Ginger Beef Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,I love adding a lean protein to my salad. For me, it makes a complete meal. This Sesame Ginger Beef Salad mixes peppery greens like arugula, a light Asian dressing, and rich flank steak to leave your tastebuds and your stomach satisfied. It's definitely easy, healthy and delicious! Try it out!
Sesame Ginger Beef Salad
Best Thai Beef Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,This is something I like to order if going out to lunch with friends, it has always been something I have avoided to cook mainly because I thought it would be too hard, but let me assure you it isn't. It is actually really easy! You could also turn this into a simple vegetarian dish by leaving out the meat. Just try it out!
Best Thai Beef Salad
Steak Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,This is a great main-course salad for the summer, when the greens, cherry tomatoes, and green beans are all in season. When buying green beans, look for the skinniest ones, they have the best texture. Offer plenty of crusty bread, and open a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with this hearty main-course salad. Enjoy!
Steak Salad
Thai Beef Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,This Thai Beef Salad is full of vegetables and herbs. It contains mizuna, shredded carrot, cabbage, capsicum, Thai dressing, and crispy shallots, meaning it's packed with nutrients as well as flavor. Everything comes together in under 20 minutes, and it's even better the next day after it's marinated for a while. Enjoy!
Thai Beef Salad
Fiery Grilled Beef Salad in Easy Dinner Recipes,Although you can use any leafy green in this spicy main-course salad, I suggest watercress because it adds another subtle, peppery layer of heat to the dish. It's fine to partially cook the shallots ahead of time (even the night before) until they are golden, then let them cool; when you refry them before serving, they'll become extra crispy. Try it out!
