(Many can even be prepared in advance to freeze for future busy evenings.)

Our go-tos are slow cooker dishes and casseroles, since they typically yield large quantities. (If you can assemble them ahead to chill or freeze until the day you're going to serve, even better.)

Many sheet pan and skillet dishes can also feed up to six people in one fell swoop.
