If you despise doing dishes but love big hearty meals, these stew and braise recipes are for you. Not only will you get a huge and delicious meal, but there's only one pot to wash (and it can probably just soak until tomorrow right?) so you don't have to worry about dishes piling up. Anything is possible if you throw it in a big pot, from cajun chicken and sausage gumbo to the meatless yet still hearty cauliflower stew. There's really nothing better than boiling a big pot on the stove after a long day's work, so kick back because you don't have to worry about the dishes with our favorite one-pot meals.
