Get ready for comfort meals like creamy pastas, loaded sheet pans and cheesy, hearty casseroles to fill you up. Recipes like our Garlic-Anchovy Pasta with Broccolini and Instant-Pot Chicken Burrito Bowl will help you bring in fall in the most flavorful way. 01 of 30 Cheesy Meatball Casserole View Recipe Jen Causey This cheesy meatball casserole is a family favorite, with basil adding flavor to the meatballs and grated onion adding moisture. Melted mozzarella cheese tames the spice, but feel free to cut back or eliminate the crushed red pepper if you prefer a milder dish. 02 of 30 Garlic-Anchovy Pasta with Broccolini View Recipe Jacob Fox Here, we sprinkle the final pasta dish with crumbled goat cheese for nice tangy bites throughout. But if you prefer a creamy sauce, stir the cheese into the pasta in Step 3 along with the reserved cooking water. 03 of 30 Cilantro-Lime Shrimp Bowl View Recipe Jen Causey This cilantro-lime shrimp bowl has tons of flavor and texture. The cilantro-lime shrimp is tangy and fresh, with brown rice and creamy avocado to balance the flavor. The two-chile cream sauce is easy to make and brings all the flavors of this bowl dinner together. 04 of 30 Turkey Burgers with Spinach, Feta & Tzatziki View Recipe Creamy tzatziki and crisp sliced cucumber add a refreshing twist to this easy burger recipe loaded with feta, spinach and Mediterranean spices. No tzatziki? No problem! Make your own at home by combining plain Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon, dill and finely chopped cucumber. 05 of 30 Instant-Pot Chicken Burrito Bowl View Recipe Greg Dupree This Instant-Pot chicken burrito bowl has all the fixings of a hearty burrito without the wrap. Chicken cooked in the Instant Pot is tender, and here it takes on the flavors of fire-roasted diced tomatoes and spices. 06 of 30 Sheet-Pan Chicken Cutlets with Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potatoes View Recipe Photographer: Will Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf This easy sheet-pan dinner is made with quick-cooking chicken cutlets, so you can make it on any busy weeknight. We season the vegetables and protein in stages, with the end result being a punch of flavor. Crumbled bacon adds a salty note to complete the dish. 07 of 30 Garlicky Pasta with Grilled Shrimp & Asparagus View Recipe Andrea Mathis This grilled garlic-shrimp pasta with asparagus is a great way to have a fancy dinner on the table in minutes, and it's perfect for any night of the week. 08 of 30 Vegetarian Protein Bowl View Recipe Fred Hardy This vegetarian protein bowl has everything you need for a complete meal in one bowl.

Chimichurri sauce brightens the dish. 09 of 30 Sheet-Pan Chicken Sausage with Potatoes & Bell Peppers View Recipe Photographer: Will Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf This sheet-pan sausage and veggies recipe makes the perfect weeknight dinner. We opt for andouille chicken sausage, but you could easily substitute any other cooked chicken or pork sausage you prefer. If you have leftovers, try adding the sausage, peppers and onions to a roll with grainy mustard for a flavorful sandwich. 10 of 30 Cheesy Ground Beef & Broccoli Casserole View Recipe Christine Ma This cheesy ground beef and broccoli casserole is comfort food the whole family can get behind. It's assembled and baked all in one skillet and finished in 30 minutes, making it the perfect weeknight meal. 11 of 30 White Bean & Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi View Recipe Jacob Fox Sun-dried tomatoes are the star of this recipe— providing texture and umami.

The sweetness of the squash balances the bitter kale, while a squeeze of lemon juice brightens the dish. Be sure to spread the kale out on the baking sheet to encourage even browning. 14 of 30 Black Bean-Quinoa Bowl View Recipe This black bean and quinoa bowl has many of the usual hallmarks of a taco salad, minus the fried bowl. We've loaded it up with pico de gallo, fresh cilantro and avocado plus an easy hummus dressing to drizzle on top. 15 of 30 Slow-Cooker Carne Picada Tacos with Avocado Salsa View Recipe Loosely translated as "minced meat," the traditional texture of carne picada ranges from finely chopped to ground. Here we start with brisket, which becomes nice and tender in the slow cooker, then shred and chop the meat before serving. The seasoning is flavorful but not too spicy. Blistered jalapeños added at the end will satisfy the heat-lovers in the family. Pile the brisket into warmed corn tortillas, with lettuce, the jalapeños, cheese and avocado salsa for a healthy dinner that'll wake up your taco night routine. 16 of 30 Homemade Testaroli with Pesto View Recipe Francesca Zani and Johncarlo Zani Testaroli is a classic Italian pasta that's cooked in two steps: first it's baked in the oven, then it's boiled until tender. Here we top it with a fresh basil-and-parsley pesto.

Plus, this recipe requires just three ingredients, not including basics like salt, pepper and oil.

And here's what's almost as good as the flavor of this comforting dish: the fact that this healthy dinner takes just 20 minutes to prepare. 29 of 30 Roasted Cauliflower & Potato Curry Soup View Recipe Karla Conrad In this healthy cauliflower soup recipe, roasting the cauliflower first adds depth and prevents the florets from turning to mush. A little tomato sauce and coconut milk give the broth a rich, silky texture. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired. 30 of 30 Rosemary Chicken with Sweet Potatoes View Recipe Chicken and sweet potatoes unite with the delicious taste of rosemary in this easy, one-skillet meal.
