ClosePhoto: Jason DonnellyThis mix of seasonal dinner casseroles, chilis and one-pot pasta dishes has a little something for everyone. You’ll want to settle in with one of these healthy, veggie-packed dinners for a super cozy meal. It’s easy to see why recipes like our Spinach & Mushroom Quiche and Cheesy Ground Beef & Cauliflower Casserole were among the recipes people clicked on most in November.01of 20Spinach & Mushroom QuicheView RecipeThis healthy vegetarian quiche recipe is as simple as it gets. It’s a quiche without the fussy crust! It’s filled with sweet wild mushrooms and savory Gruyère cheese. Enjoy it for breakfast or brunch, or serve it with a light salad for lunch.02of 20Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup with Rotisserie ChickenView RecipeThis rich-tasting but better-for-you creamy chicken soup has a delicious chicken pot pie feel to it. We call for rotisserie chicken to streamline your prep time–look for a nice big one with lots of breast meat on it. Pair this comforting and easy soup recipe with a green salad, or, if you’re really hungry, a grilled cheese sandwich.03of 20American GoulashView RecipeAmerican goulash, also known as old-fashioned goulash, is the perfect economical family meal. The pasta cooks right in the sauce, so this satisfying dish can cook in just one pot.04of 20Easy Italian Wedding SoupView RecipeForget the marble-size meatballs you find in many versions of this soup. In this easy recipe, they’re full-size, full-flavored and plenty filling.05of 20Slow-Cooker Chicken & White Bean StewView RecipeThis load-and-go slow-cooker chicken recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Serve this Tuscan-inspired dish with crusty bread, a glass of Chianti and a salad.06of 20Cheesy Ground Beef & Cauliflower CasseroleView RecipeJason DonnellyGround beef and cauliflower combine to create a hearty weeknight casserole that both kids and adults will love. Serve with tortilla chips and sour cream.07of 20Cream of Turkey & Wild Rice SoupView RecipeGot leftover cooked chicken or turkey? Cook up a pot of soup! This recipe is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread.08of 20Slow-Cooker Chicken & Chickpea SoupView RecipeThis set-it-and-forget-it slow-cooker recipe simmers away all day so you come home to a warm and healthy dinner the whole family will love. Using bone-in chicken is the key to making rich soup without adding broth.09of 20Cabbage Roll CasseroleView RecipeBrie PassanoThis casserole has all the elements of cabbage rolls—ground beef, onion and rice cooked in tomato sauce—and skips the fuss of rolling. The cabbage is chopped instead and layered with the saucy filling, then topped with cheese, for a satisfying and easy casserole. Feel free to substitute other ground meats, such as turkey, for the ground beef—this recipe would also be great with a vegetarian meat substitute.10of 20One-Pot Greek PastaView RecipeA little bit of Sunday meal prep goes a long way in this one-dish Mediterranean pasta recipe. The pasta is cooked ahead of time and stored in the fridge to use for meals all week, but any leftover cooked pasta you have on hand will do. Chicken sausage with feta is especially good in this recipe.11of 20Sweet Potato & Black Bean ChiliView RecipeMake a double batch of this quick vegetarian chili, full of black beans and sweet potatoes, and eat it for lunch the next day or freeze the extras for another night. We love the smoky heat from the ground chipotle, but omit it if you prefer a mild chili. Serve with tortilla chips or cornbread and coleslaw.12of 20Spaghetti & Spinach with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream SauceView RecipePhotography / Kelsey Hansen, Styling / Greg LunaTo achieve flavor quickly in this pasta recipe, we use the oil from sun-dried tomatoes to create the base of the cream sauce. Meanwhile, the residual heat of the pasta wilts the spinach in record time for a fast weeknight dinner.13of 20One-Pot Chicken AlfredoView RecipeThis better-for-you creamy, cheesy chicken fettuccine Alfredo isn’t all that fancy, but it’s incredibly comforting. You’ll taste a nice pop of pepper and nutty notes from the whole-wheat pasta. Best part about this recipe? It’s a one-pot meal, which means fewer dishes for you!14of 20Slow-Cooker White Bean, Spinach & Sausage StewView RecipeReach for this recipe on a chilly morning when you know you’ll want a steaming bowl of slow-cooker sausage stew for supper. To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten-free sausage.15of 20Vegan Lentil SoupView RecipeThis vegan lentil soup recipe is packed with fresh ingredients and plenty of lentils that deliver a healthy dose of fiber in each bite. This vegan soup is the perfect cold-weather lunch or healthy dinner the whole family will love.16of 20Creamy Skillet Chicken with Spinach & MushroomsView RecipeMarty BaldwinChicken cutlets are topped with a spinach-mushroom cream sauce for a flavorful yet healthy dinner. Serve over pasta or grains to soak up the sauce.17of 20Chicken & Spinach Skillet Pasta with Lemon & ParmesanView RecipeThis one-pan pasta that combines lean chicken breast and sautéed spinach for a one-bowl meal is garlicky, lemony and best served with a little Parm on top. I call it “Mom’s Skillet Pasta” and she called it “Devon’s Favorite Pasta.” Either way it’s a quick and easy weeknight dinner we created together and scribbled on a little recipe card more than a decade ago, and it remains in my weekly dinner rotation to this day. It’s a simple dinner the whole family will love.18of 20Spinach & Artichoke Dip PastaView RecipeIf you’ve ever wanted to make a meal out of warm spinach and artichoke dip, this creamy pasta is for you. And here’s what’s almost as good as the flavor of this comforting dish: the fact that this healthy dinner takes just 20 minutes to prepare.19of 20Leftover Turkey StewView RecipeThis hearty and healthy turkey stew recipe is just about the best use of Thanksgiving leftovers we can think of. And we don’t just mean the turkey. The stew is packed with leftover roasted vegetables–use whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as Brussels sprouts, parsnips, sweet potatoes and green beans. And leftover gravy is used to add depth of flavor and body. Possibly the best part of this stew recipe? It comes together really quickly–because don’t we all need a 20-minute dinner after the craziness of Thanksgiving? Add some leftover bread or rolls and dinner is done. This recipe is equally delicious with leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken, and we’ve included instructions for making a quick gravy in case you don’t have leftovers, so you can serve this Thanksgiving-in-a-pot year-round.20of 20One-Pan Chicken & Asparagus BakeView RecipeIn this chicken and asparagus recipe, we use one baking sheet to whip up dinner quickly, veggies included. Pounding the chicken thin helps it cook quickly alongside the carrots and potatoes, with asparagus rounding out the meal. This is one quick dinner recipe you’ll be returning to again and again.Was this page helpful?Thanks for your feedback!Tell us why!OtherSubmit
