15 Easy Dutch Oven Recipes for a Cozy Sunday Supper
On a cold, weekend morning, when the fire’s crackling away and the windows are fogged up, I love nothing more than popping a big, cast-iron Dutch oven on and letting it work its magic for a few hours in the oven. It’s super easy, and makes the whole house smell dreamy – it’s the “warm the cockles of your heart” kind of cooking.
We’re talking some of my favorite Dutch oven recipes that bring you all the cozy comfort food you need this time of year. Tender roasts, rustic stews, crusty loaves of homemade bread, and one-pot wonders that don’t ask much of you beyond tossing everything in and letting the pot do the heavy lifting. They’re the perfect Sunday Supper to start the week. Total bonus… you’ll probably have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! So here are 15 Easy Dutch Oven Recipes for a Cozy Sunday Supper.
Here’s Why You’ll Love These Dutch Oven Recipes
One-pot meals, baby! With many of these recipes, everything cooks in your trusty Dutch oven, which means fewer dishes to do once dinner’s done. Who doesn’t want less washing up?!
These recipes are the definition of comfort food – hearty, warming, and made for cozy, cold evenings by the fire. Don’t forget the wine.
From roasts to stews to breads, there’s something here for everyone (even my meat and three veg Dad!). As a bonus, because most of my Dutch oven recipes serve 6-8 people, there might be some leftovers for the week ahead (or in our case, a freezable night shift dinner or two!).
No complicated steps or chef-only skills needed around here, just real, good food you can make at home.
