These Buffalo cauliflower bowls are a great vegetarian dinner for busy weeknights. The cauliflower roasts until browned at the edges, then gets tossed with buttery Buffalo sauce and piled over rice with romaine, corn, celery and avocado. A drizzle of homemade ranch dressing cools the heat, while quick pickled red onions make an easy optional topping if you want a little extra acidity and crunch. Add blue cheese for the full Buffalo treatment, or leave it off for a milder bowl.

These falafel bowls are perfect when weeknights get busy because most of the work can be done ahead. The falafel bakes instead of fries, and the chopped vegetables, hummus and tzatziki can all be ready in the refrigerator before dinner. Once everything is prepped, dinner is mostly assembly: crisp romaine, cucumber and tomatoes, warm falafel, feta and plenty of creamy sauce.

I keep frozen broccoli on hand for sides like this because there’s no trimming or blanching to do first. It goes straight into the baking dish, then gets finished with Parmesan and seasoned breadcrumbs for a crisp, golden top. I’d serve it alongside Easy One-Pan Roast Chicken for an easy dinner. The broccoli bakes covered first so it has time to become tender without drying out. I add the topping afterward so the breadcrumbs stay crisp rather than steaming under the foil.

If you’re looking for the traditional bread stuffing that belongs next to turkey and gravy, this is it. There’s no sausage or fruit here—just white bread, onion, celery, butter, and plenty of fresh sage, baked until the middle is tender and the top is crisp. Slightly stale bread is the key. It soaks up the butter and stock without falling apart, and baking the stuffing covered first keeps it moist before the top gets its final stretch in the oven to brown.

Sausage and fennel make this version a little richer, while fresh sage, rosemary, thyme, and parsley keep it squarely in holiday territory. It’s also a great side for Easy One-Pan Roast Chicken when I’m making it outside Thanksgiving.

Tamale pie is an easy one-skillet dinner with ground beef, beans, peppers, and tomatoes under a tender cornbread topping. It’s hearty enough that you don’t need much else on the table, and the whole thing goes from stovetop to oven in the same pan. For more dinners like this, try these ground beef dinner recipes. I don’t cook the filling down too far before it goes into the oven; that extra moisture keeps it from drying out under the cornbread.

Tuna noodle casserole is any easy recipe to make for busy weeknights. Egg noodles, tuna and peas go into a creamy cheese sauce, and the buttery cracker crumbs on top adds a little crunch. The sauce comes together in one pan with onion, celery and whole milk before the cheese goes in. I cook the noodles just shy of al dente so they can finish in the oven without getting too soft, then bake everything until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden.

Tater tot hotdish is a Midwest classic for a reason: plenty of beef and vegetables, a creamy filling, and a layer of crisp tots across the top. I skip the canned soup and make an easy sauce right in the skillet instead. Broth and whole milk thicken with butter and flour before the beef, mushrooms, peas, and carrots go in. Frozen tater tots go straight on top, keeping the prep simple while giving the finished hotdish that perfect crisp-over-creamy combo.

Deep Clean Them This Way Instead Farro is one of my favorite grains, and I make it often in place of rice. I love its nutty flavor and chewy texture in salads and bowls, and it’s also a good source of fiber and protein, along with iron, magnesium and B vitamins. It’s easy to cook, too.
