    5 ingredients or less dinner ideas

    Have you ever found a recipe on Pinterest and thought, "Oh my word, I'm making that!"... only to find out you need 39 ingredients. On top of that, some of them you've never even heard of and seriously doubt you can get locally? I get so utterly disappointed when that happens. I like to keep our meals simples, yet still delicious. That's why I've rounded up 25 recipes that have only 5 ingredients or less. Most are perfect for weeknight meals too!

    1. Italian Chicken Green Beans and Potatoes | Grace and Good Eats
    2. 3-Ingredient Crock Pot Chicken Tacos | Two Healthy Kitchens
    3. Cherry Chipotle Glazed Pork Tenderloin | The Housewife Training Files
    4. Real Fettucine Alfredo | The Gracious Wife
    5. Thai Chicken Bake | The Pinning Mama
    6. Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Tacos | The Pinning Mama
    7. 5-Ingredient 10-Minute Lemon Chicken Soup | The Pinning Mama
    8. One Pot Sausage Broccoli Pasta | A Dish of Daily Life
    9. French Onion Cube Steaks With Gravy | The Love Nerds
    10. 5-Ingredient Honey Mustard Salmon | The Lemon Bowl
    11. 5-Ingredients Grilled Chicken With Tomato, Soy and Sesame Seeds | Fuss Free Cooking
    12. Crock Pot Ribs | Garnish With Lemon
    13. Almond Sriracha Salmon | Runnin Srilankin
    14. Tuna Stuffed Cheddar Potatoes | Tastes of Lizzy T's
    15. Easy Cheesy 5-Ingredient Pizza Pasta Bake | Two Healthy Kitchens
    16. Cacio e Pepe Pasta | Living Sweet Moments
    17. Chicken Marinara | Nellie Bellie
    18. 5-Ingredient Pesto Chicken Stuffed Peppers | Layers of Happiness
    19. Baked Ravioli Lasagna | Olives & Garlic
    20. Sour Cream and Parmesan Chicken | Money Saving Sisters
    21. 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Meatballs | Chew Out Loud
    22. Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole | Jo Cooks
    23. 3-Ingredient Potato Chip Kitchen | Simply Kierste
    24. 5-Ingredient Steak Hash | Oh, Sweet Basil
    25. 5-Ingredient Veracruz-Style Baked White Fish | The Lemon Bowl

      This is so helpful. I like to be able to just use what I have on hand instead of rushing to the store.

      I am loving the crockpot ribs, a very easy recipe to follow and who doesn't love cooking in a crockpot, I will have
      to give this a go the next time I decide to make some ribs for the family.

      I love enchiladas but the sauce is a little more involved from scratch. Now to find a canned sauce I like! Thanks for the compilation!
