In the whirlwind of busy schedules and quick meals, Sunday dinner is a chance to slow down, gather around the table, and savor something special. In our house, skipping Sunday dinner wasn’t an option—it was a tradition.
Do you have a go-to Sunday meal? Something that takes a little more love and time? If you’re looking for inspiration, these recipes bring comfort, flavor, and that unmistakable “Sunday dinner” feeling.
Classic Comforts
Few things say “Sunday dinner” like a pot roast. The Dutch Oven Pot Roast from Veronika’s Kitchen is a perfect choice—slow-cooked, deeply flavorful, and just waiting for a side of warm biscuits.
Below is my favorite Dutch Over. It is a Lodge six quart enameled cast iron Dutch Oven with a lid.
If roast chicken is more your style, try the Garlic Herb Butter Roast Chicken from Café Delites. Pair it with Crispy Garlic Potatoes and Honey Garlic Butter Roasted Carrots for a full-on feast.
Short on time? Air fryer to the rescue! Holly from Spend With Pennies shares an Air Fryer Whole Chicken recipe that’s done in about an hour—add a baked potato and salad, and dinner is served.
There are a lot of different air fryers on the market, but the one I like the best is from Cosori.
A Taste of Nostalgia – My mom’s fried chicken was legendary, but she never shared the recipe! If you love the idea of crispy, golden perfection, Ree Drummond’s Buttermilk-Soaked Fried Chicken is worth the effort (just remember to plan ahead).
Try Dan Pelosi’s Mediterranean Chicken and Rice—a deceptively easy dish packed with bold flavors. It was such a standout that it landed #2 in the New York Times Recipe of the Year Top 10! This dinner is as comforting as it is delicious.
Nothing says slow-cooked satisfaction like Sticky Oven Barbecue Ribs. Café Delites has a recipe that’s worth every minute—serve with baked beans and corn on the cob for the ultimate summer Sunday meal.
For the Foodie looking for something a little fancier? Braised Beef Short Ribs in Red Wine Sauce from RecipeTin Eats are rich, tender, and best served over creamy mashed potatoes.
