28 Easy One Pot Recipes
In case you hadn’t noticed, I am a HUGE fan of one pot recipes!
They are quick and easy to make, the flavours all meld together wonderfully in the pan – making it all taste even better than the sum of its parts and best of all, only one pot to wash up, afterwards – whoop whoop.
As a result of my passion for one pot cooking I have a ton of tasty one pot recipes on my website. But to make life easier for you guys (and me!), I have gathered them all together on this page so you can easily compare the recipes side by side and pick the one you most want to have for dinner tonight 😀
For each recipe, I’ve included a link to the recipe, plus prep times, cook times and total times, so you can quickly and easily see which recipe suits your needs and the time available.
If you make one of these recipes (or, even better, discover a new family favourite!) I’d love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments below or via social media. I’m on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
