This is a perfect fall dish for combining elements of sweet and savory while also being different. It makes a great vegetarian side dish for any meal, or you can add your favorite meat to make a tasty bowl that covers all your favorite flavors. One of the best parts? You only need one pot or Dutch oven to make it and have only two simple steps to follow. You can also use fresh, local apples to give you an extra personalized touch.
The words “butternut squash” are usually followed by “soup,” so this recipe is a great way to give new life to a classic fall favorite. You may also try to avoid butternut squash in recipes because you often have to take extra time to roast it first, but this recipe has it cooking in a savory bath of cream and butter. It also uses only 7 ingredients and takes just two steps. If you’re daunted by the idea of dissecting a butternut squash on your own, check if your local grocery store sells it precut and cubed to save even more time!
It’s impossible to talk about fall flavors without mentioning pumpkin. Pumpkin-flavored items are everywhere! But if you’re looking to stand out and avoid the average pumpkin pie or pumpkin-spiced latte, try this pumpkin dip. It’s a perfect pairing for seasonal apples or makes a great sweet and salty moment with some pretzels. A huge highlight is that there’s no real cooking involved! You can leave the stove and oven off because all this recipe calls for is an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
As fall transitions to winter, you may be looking for something to really stick to your ribs and give you that comfort food feel. Try this super simple savory stew. And when we say simple, we mean it. You put all 9 ingredients in a slow cooker and let it simmer away on low for 8 hours. That’s it! It’s a great option for when you need a meal ready and waiting for you or a group at the end of a long day.
Meatloaf can be a polarizing meal option if someone has had a bad experience in the past, but this recipe is sure to change their mind. It has all of the classic ingredients with a few small twists. For example, instead of using basic breadcrumbs, you’ll use saltines. You’ll also add some rubbed sage for a touch of fresh herbs. Of course, it still goes perfectly with some fresh mashed potatoes.
If you need an impressive meal without the hassle of a thousand dishes, this is the recipe for you! You’ll start with 11 easy-to-find ingredients and a sheet pan, and you’ll end with a stunning winter meal complete with meat and vegetables.
