One-Dish Country Suppers: Delicious Casseroles, Fritattas, Roasts, and Stews

Home cooks love one-dish dinners because they offer easy preparation and quick cleanup. Country Living collects their favorite versions of these delicious and comforting meals—which include skillet suppers, soups, stews, and more—in one great volume. They’re ideal for family suppers, potluck get-togethers, or casual entertaining. Simple yet more sophisticated and international in scope than most one-pot cookbooks, the recipes here range from an incredibly tender Garlic-Rosemary Chicken ladled with vegetables and broth to hearty Mexican Beans, Rice, and Sausage with tortillas on the side. Other mouthwatering selections include an autumnal Pumpkin and Chicken Chowder, flavored with ground cumin and oregano; Wild Salmon and Potato Casserole with Citrus-Herb Vinaigrette; Spicy Korean-style Shortribs; and, for vegetarians, Gorgonzola-Buttermilk Pasta with Arugula. Every recipe includes nutritional information, and smart tips throughout to ensure success.
