One Pot Meals for Busy Weeknights

One pot cooking is practical and smart — fewer dishes, less time, and often better flavour because everything cooks together and the flavours build in the pan. The collection covers soups, stews, braises, one-pan pasta dishes, and skillet meals. Cook times range from 20 minutes to slow braises that reward patience. Each recipe specifies the type of vessel needed — standard saucepan, deep skillet, Dutch oven, or slow cooker — so you can plan around what you own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Dutch oven for one pot cooking?

No. Most recipes work in a deep skillet or large saucepan. Where a Dutch oven helps, the recipe notes alternatives.

Are there one pot meals under 30 minutes?

Yes — filter by Quick to see the fastest options.

Do these freeze well?

Soups, stews, and braises generally freeze well. Freezing notes are on each recipe card.

Can I adapt these for a slow cooker?

Some can — where a slow cooker version works, it's noted in the recipe variations section.
