If you're tired from a long day at work or school, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen cooking. One-pot recipes are the perfect solution! You only have to wash one pot when you're done, and you can even eat directly from it. So ditch the takeout and make yourself a delicious, healthy meal that you deserve.
Some of our favorites are below. Note: These recipes should feed 3-4 people, but you may need to adjust ingredients depending on the size of your party.
Beef Taco Skillet
Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground beef
1-ounce can black beans
One large tomato
4 ounces tortilla chips
1/2 cup shredded cheese
One green onion stalk
One packet of taco seasoning, but you can easily make your own.
How to make it:
To prepare, first slice the green onion and dice the tomatoes into small cubes. Then, pour one tablespoon of oil into a skillet and stir-fry the tomatoes until they soften slightly.
After that, add in the ground beef to cook thoroughly over medium heat. Afterwards, mix in black beans and taco seasoning before cooking for an additional two minutes so everything is properly combined.
Then it's time to plate! Add tortilla chips to your mixture then top with shredded cheese (to taste) allowing it melt into all sorts of deliciousness. Finally garnish with more green onions on top and serve hot! Enjoy!
Cajun Chicken Pasta

Your choice of pasta (Penne or Linguine)
1 packet cajun seasoning
Butter
Olive oil
1/2 kg chicken breast, cubed
1 diced onion 2 cups chicken broth

How to make it:
Season your chicken breast with cajun seasoning. In a saucepan, melt butter until it is frothy and add the chicken cubes. Cook until both sides of the chicken have an even color, then add onions and chopped garlic. Allow them to cook until they soften before adding the chicken broth and uncooked pasta. Cover the pan with a lid and bring heat down to low, simmering until pasta is cooked through--the sauce should have reduced to a thick consistency by this point. Add cream cheese and mix well before serving garnished with green onion slices.
