Five Recipe Collections Offer Low-Effort Dinners

The articles highlight low-effort dinners suited to cold, rainy or busy evenings, emphasizing pressure cookers, slow cookers, soups and one-pot or skillet meals. Instant Pot roundups feature dishes such as chicken adobo, butter chicken, pot roast and beef stew, with some recipes designed to be frozen ahead and most cooking left to the appliance. Other suggestions include hearty soups—from split pea and chowder to Zuppa Toscana—and quick one-pan meals such as shrimp curry, beef stroganoff and chicken Marsala. A slow-cooker sausage-and-peppers recipe offers another hands-off option, served in rolls, over pasta or polenta, with leftovers in mind.
