Slow Cooker Sausage, Kale, and Potato Soup

Get Recipe: Slow Cooker Sausage, Kale, and Potato Soup

"To make it, I simmer cooked Italian sausage and frozen diced hash brown potatoes in chicken broth in the slow cooker, then stir in heavy cream and kale for the last half an hour of cooking. Once you brown the sausage, the slow cooker does the rest of the work to create this hearty, cozy meal you will want to make again and again." —Jessica Furniss, Recipe Developer

"Hearty, creamy, and boldly spiced, cowboy pork chops deliver the unexpected. Think of the sauce as a gravy of sorts, a Tex-Mex spin on classic smothered pork chops. Comfort food supreme!" —Sara Bir, former Senior Editor

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken

"In search of a way to make the recipe even lazier, I added an extra ingredient—baby spinach—for the final few minutes. A little bit of green turns this into a one-pot meal. That might be why, almost twenty years after I first made it, this recipe remains a family favorite." —Deborah Koenig, Recipe Developer

Shipwreck Casserole

Get Recipe: Shipwreck Casserole

"While I wanted to keep the flavors and spirit of this casserole intact with ground beef, potatoes, and tomatoes, I updated it a bit with fresh vegetables, spices, and no gloopy canned soups. Plus, there's a fun potato hack that makes the recipe quicker and easier to make!" —Nick Evans, Recipe Developer

15-Minute Tortellini Soup

Get Recipe: 15-Minute Tortellini Soup

"There’s hardly any prep required to make this soup (virtually none if you use frozen or jarred minced garlic instead of chopping your own). It consists of just a handful of pantry staples simmered in a pot until the pasta is tender." —Sara Haas, Recipe Developer

4-Ingredient Chicken Pot Pie

Get Recipe: 4-Ingredient Chicken Pot Pie

"If you like a lot of crust with your chicken pot pie, thaw two sheets of puff pastry and bake the second sheet on a sheet pan alongside the pot pie (there's no need to roll out the puff pastry at all). Serve it with the pot pie—you can break off pieces as desired." —Megan Scott, former Senior Editor

Church Chicken Casserole

"Whether it was at a potluck picnic after church service in Macon, Mississippi, or in the basement of Blessed Sacrament after mass in San Diego, there has always been a version of church chicken casserole in my life. My all-time favorite, and the one that always comes to mind for me, is my Grandma Olga Mae’s recipe, which included egg noodles, sour cream, and crushed-up Ritz crackers." —Cynthia Christensen, Recipe Developer

Spinach Artichoke Ravioli

Get Recipe: Spinach Artichoke Ravioli

"Spinach artichoke dip always hits. It’s creamy and satisfying and pairs with just about any dipper—raw veg, tortilla chips, crackers, you name it. Sadly, I can’t always justify eating dip for dinner, so I adapted this classic appetizer into an easy, quick meal that you can customize as much or as little as you want." —Rebecca Fennel, Recipe Developer

"After hours of simmering, the combination of dry mustard, garlic powder, and tender pork meld into a fork-tender main dish, and it reheats beautifully. No matter if you are coming in from a long winter hike, a hunting excursion, or just a long day at the office, this warm, satisfying meal can be ready and waiting to offer some coziness." —Stephanie Burt, Recipe Developer

Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes

"Circa 2020, it was the work-from-home era and every single meal had to be cooked at home, too. That was when I stumbled onto this recipe for garlic butter chicken and potatoes that fed the family and left me with minimal dishes to wash. Five years later, I am still making this meal at least once a week." —Annika Panikker, Recipe Developer

Chicken Marengo

Chicken and Corn Casserole

"Using shredded rotisserie chicken makes this casserole effortless—there’s no need to poach, roast, or dice raw chicken. Leftover cooked chicken works just as well, if you have it at the ready." —Anne Wolf, Recipe Developer

Ravioli Lasagna

Get Recipe: Ravioli Lasagna

"The ravioli cooks as the whole dish bakes in the oven (no need to boil), so most of the cooking is hands-off. The result is a casserole that has all the flavors of slow-cooked Sunday lasagna but with a time commitment that makes it realistic for a Wednesday during the school year." —Meghan Splawn, Recipe Developer

Meatloaf Muffins

Get Recipe: Meatloaf Muffins

"Cooking meatloaf in a muffin tin just makes sense when you think about it. The muffin tin cups cook the mini meatloaves evenly from all sides, which means they cook faster and stay very juicy."—Nick Evans, Recipe Developer

Unstuffed Peppers

Get Recipe: Unstuffed Peppers

"This recipe has all the flavors of classic stuffed peppers—ground beef, rice, tomato, and cheese—without the need to hollow out and pre-cook the whole peppers, stuff each cavity, and bake." —Laurel Randolph, Associate Editorial Director

Cattle Drive Casserole

"This is everything a casserole is supposed to be—cheesy, full of flavor, and a complete meal in every bite! An easy biscuit base is piled with taco-seasoned beef, tomatoes, and green chiles, then topped with a tangy combination of sour cream and two kinds of cheese." —Sheela Prakash, Recipe Developer
