Turkey chili used to be a weekend thing for me, simmering in the crock pot all day. With the Instant Pot, I can come home from work and have a hearty pot of it ready in under an hour. Chunky peppers, a few canned staples, and a little cocoa powder (more on that in a minute) make it taste like it cooked all afternoon.

This recipe for oven baked bone-in pork chops is an all-time favorite in my kitchen. A simple 4-ingredient rub and about 30 minutes in the oven give you juicy, tender chops with a sweet, caramelized crust. No grill, no pan to babysit, and hardly any cleanup.

These buttermilk chicken tenders are the real deal. A quick soak in buttermilk and a double dredge through seasoned flour gives you a crust that’s thick, crispy, and flakey in all the right ways. Juicy on the inside, golden on the outside. This is the recipe that raises the bar on homemade chicken tenders.

This one-pot taco pasta is one of those recipes I get excited about because it just works every time. Ground beef, pasta, taco seasoning and cheese all cook together in one skillet, and dinner is on the table in about 30 minutes. It’s great as-is and just as easy to tweak with your favorite add-ins.

This buttermilk cornbread bakes in a preheated cast iron skillet, so you get crispy, golden edges and a soft, moist center. It’s made with simple pantry ingredients and takes about 35 minutes start to finish. Serve it warm with butter and honey, and it’s hard to stop at one piece.
