31 Easy March Dinner Ideas to Cook (and Devour) This Month

This one-pot gem is hearty, nutritious and ever so cozy. Feel free to use kidney beans instead of black beans, or ground beef or chicken instead of turkey.

Your go-to lazy dinner just got a major upgrade. Herbed, garlicky mozzarella is just the match for salty cured pork, and this sammy proves it.

Your Crockpot is the secret to fall-apart-tender beef sans babysitting. Gochujang adds savory-spicy flavor to the meat while cabbage and dill pickles cool things down.

Let's end citrus season with a bang, shall we? This seafood dish is equal parts nourishing, refreshing and tangy, but most importantly, it's ready in 20 minutes flat.

We've never met a tomato cream sauce that we didn't love. And TBH, this one rivals that of your favorite Italian bistro. Pass the Parm, please.

Now that you're well-versed in baked feta (thanks, TikTok), why not try this pasta-free recipe on for size? Each serving boasts a whopping 21 grams of protein, and it's prepared in a single skillet for minimal cleanup.

You should *always* have a jar of garlic confit—garlic that is slow cooked in oil until rich and tender—in your fridge. Prepare it in advance to save time before dinner.

Low-carb, keto-friendly and beyond easy to make, this protein-and-veg skillet is a guaranteed win on its own, wrapped in tortillas or served over cauliflower rice.

Did winter even happen if you never cooked this crowd-pleasing soup? Each bowl is finished with a hunk of crusty baguette and a generous dose of Gruyère.

Grown-up mac and cheese? Yes, please. A 50/50 ratio of fresh kale to pasta makes this a pretty healthy dinner. (You know, in theory.)

Any soup that's topped with ridged potato chips is one after our own heart. And thanks to the handy pressure cooker, this one only needs 30 minutes to come together.

This pie, starring marinated artichoke hearts, is just the thing to hold you over while you wait for fresh artichokes to hit the farmers market.

Your picky eaters will be thrilled to see this cheesy pasta hit the table. You'll be just as elated to make it, since the recipe only calls for seven simple ingredients.

Our favorite thing to do on a Sunday? Set and forget something delicious in the Crockpot. All you need to do is chop the ingredients, mix the sauce and dump it all in the slow cooker.

Even carnivores will be wowed by this vegan spin on hot dogs, which comes complete with pecan "chili" and crunchy coleslaw. The carrot marinade is delightfully sweet, savory and smoky.

It turns out that crackly, savory bacon and fresh, flaky fish are soulmates. Can you believe the recipe only requires nine ingredients and 40 minutes of your time?

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Instead of cooking corned beef this year, give this Guinness beef stew topped with goat cheese mashed potatoes a whirl. (Oh, and wash it down with your favorite Irish stout, obvi.)

If you’re a habitual pad Thai orderer, it’s time to learn how to make your beloved noodle dish even faster than it can be delivered. (This version is loaded with ground pork, sriracha and peanuts.)

Eggs have come to the rescue on countless weeknights in our kitchen. Instead of wolfing down a fried one straight from the pan, pair it with a few fresh veggies (hi, spring asparagus) and roast everything to perfection on a sheet pan.

Because an olive oil-lemon fillet gets boring after the millionth time. Opt for sweet-tart pineapple, smoky ancho chile powder and tangy pickled onions instead.

Ah, rice noodles. They're gluten-free, satisfyingly chewy and take on the flavor of whatever they're cooked in. That's why they're the ultimate base for this savory, one-pan beef dish.

The canned kind just won't cut it once you taste this impeccably seasoned riff on the O.G., crowned with chile crisp for good measure. Ramen takes over for old-school egg noodles, while black rice vinegar, soy sauce and fresh ginger liven up the broth.

'Tis the season for bringing home a bunch of farm-fresh radishes and transforming them into something spectacular. These are brined in pickling solution, then splashed with honey-mustard vinaigrette.

You only need 17 minutes and one skillet to prepare this protein-packed main. Serve the shrimp in lettuce wraps, over white rice or with noodles.

You say breakfast, we say dinner. Sink your teeth into this eight-ingredient wonder that's oozing with fontina and Gruyère cheeses. (In case you need more convincing, that's a store-bought pie crust.)

Trust us: This eight-hour, low-and-slow masterpiece is well worth the wait. Might we suggest serving the French staple with 20-minute mashed potatoes?

This salad is decidedly wintry, but it'll still brighten up your dinner with fresh citrus, sharp fennel, salty pecorino Romano and zingy lemon-mustard dressing. Add grilled chicken or crispy tofu to make it more filling.

Repeat after us: I can cook shellfish at home. Seriously, this dish takes about 20 minutes and only requires six ingredients, including in-season peas. Just make sure to thoroughly pat the scallops dry to ensure a gorgeous sear.

Mushrooms, radishes, peas, spinach and chives will all be at peak deliciousness by the end of the month. Creamy white wine-Parm risotto can only make them tastier, no?

Hit the farmers market for fresh peas, celery, leeks and alllll the herbs to make this seasonal gem shine its brightest. Might we suggest supping it alfresco?

March came in like a lion...and will go out with some lamb. Celebrate warmer days on the horizon with Lebanese-inspired lamb shoulder and a tahini sauce you'll never forget.
