Cut down on dishes and make cooking a breeze by preparing one of our favorite meaty one-pot meals for dinner; our recipe for Pressure Cooker Pot Roast, pictured here, is the perfect example. But that's not your only option. In fact, we're sharing a number of our favorite recipes that are full of satisfying protein and quick on cleanup in the slide ahead. In some cases, we call for multi-cookers—like the Instant Pot or a pressure cooker—to make these one-pot dishes, but the majority can be made in a basic cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven.

We have a couple of tasty stir-fry recipes, such as our rich Beef and Broccoli with Black-Bean Garlic Sauce and a sweet and spicy Pork-and-Pineapple Stir-Fry. And then there's that crowd favorite, the ultimate one-pot recipe: homemade chili. We have two all-beef recipes that are guaranteed winners each and every time you make it, whether that's on a cold winter night or as a game-day meal.

We also have a few Italian-American classics in this collection of meat-centric dishes. Chicken Scarpariello is prepared in a large, straight-sided skillet with two kinds of meat—sausage and bone-in chicken thighs—and the meal gets its spicy flavor from hot pickled cherry peppers. Then there's our Beef Braciole with Olives and Raisins, which is a labor of love and the perfect dish to prepare for a weekend dinner or special occasion.

From hearty chilis to scrumptious stir-fries, make mealtime easier by cooking these hearty, meaty one-pot recipes.

Quick Pork Goulash

Goulash generally cooks low and slow for several hours, but this shortcut recipe comes together in just 50 minutes. Using pork tenderloin rather than stew meat is one of the ways to reduce cook time. While the goulash is all made in one pot, we do recommend cooking noodles to toss with butter as they are the ultimate partner for this stew.
