What if you could go grocery shopping without a mile-long list? For these simple five-ingredient meals, you can literally count your grocery items on one hand, folks. But here are the ground rules: salt, pepper, sugar, and one cooking fat don’t count. Why? Because you already have those in your pantry (…or you should). You could spend a lot of time and energy counting and arguing about this (suspect) math, or just go with it and make some awesome meals. Because your life—or at least, your easy dinners—can be simpler.
A few of these recipes require even fewer than five ingredients. But while our list includes breakfast and lunches, some of the recipes below are for the main dish only. Don’t worry—we have plenty of easy side dishes and simple salads to round them out. (Easy desserts? Yep, we’ve got those too.) But first, let’s get onto dinner.
