What is a traditional Sunday dinner? 

In many cultures (and religions), Sunday is a day off from work, a day to sort of just kick back and spend time enjoying life and loved ones.

Many families tend to gather for a big family dinner on Sundays, as a great way to unwind and spend some quality time together. Think back to the Andy Griffith generation, where you spent the morning at church, the afternoon cooking, and the evening eating with all of your family members. Ah, those were the days!

Today’s families tend to be a heck of a lot busier, with much less time available for these long cook-time recipes. That’s where your easy Sunday dinner ideas come in! As you’ll see below, I’ve searched out some of the tastiest yet easiest recipes to get you that classic, old-fashioned Sunday dinner feel without slaving over a stove all afternoon!

What’s good to eat on a Sunday? 

Well, honestly the sky’s the limit, but there are definitely some fairly common types/categories of meals that people tend to prefer for their big sit-down Sunday family meals.

Some of the most common meals you’ll come across will be healthy (i.e. full of good protein and veggies), served nice and warm, and full of that classic “comfort food” feeling. Southern dishes, Italian dishes, and pasta or potatoes tend to make their weekly debut in these meals.

What is a good Southern Sunday dinner?

To make your family’s Sunday dinner gathering a southern affair, you’ll find fried and oven-baked foods, plenty of potatoes, and definitely pass the gravy!

What is a healthy Sunday dinner idea?

Honestly, most of the old-fashioned Sunday meals didn’t focus so much on healthy aspects as it focused on showcasing mom or grandma’s best cooking skills, and creating dishes that caused people to linger over eating if not go for seconds.

The longer you spent at the table spending quality time with the family, the better! Which is exactly why some “lazy chefs” will always prefer opting in for a quick delivery service, but that’s a ‘measure’ I’ll talk about on a different day.

If you’re focusing on making a meal a healthier version of some classic Sunday dinner ideas, the recipes below are a great starting point. Using a crockpot instead of frying in a skillet helps a lot of these meals have a lot less oil and grease, reducing fat content.

Many of these recipes also fall under various dietary considerations, so you’re already getting modern modifications of some very heavy old recipes!

Pot roast is the traditional Sunday dinner, and why not? There is so much goodness going on in this recipe – roast beef, veggies, and homemade gravy!

32. Classic Tomato Soup

A steaming bowl of tomato soup is a favorite among kids and adults alike. This family favorite takes about 90 minutes to make, but only 25 of those minutes requires effort on your end.

45. Veggie-Packed Stuffed Bell Peppers

Stuff bell peppers with a mixture of rice, black beans, corn, and seasoned vegetables. Bake them until tender, and top with cheese for an extra layer of comfort. These stuffed peppers are healthy, filling, and perfect for a quick Sunday dinner.

46. One-Pot Lemon Garlic Chicken & Rice

Searing bone-in chicken thighs first allows the skin to crisp while rendering flavorful drippings for the rice. After adding garlic, broth, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, everything simmers together until the grains are tender. The citrus cuts richness and brightens the entire pot. Serve straight from the Dutch oven; extra broth becomes an instant sauce.

47. Classic Slow-Cooker Pot Roast

Chuck roast turns meltingly soft after six to eight hours in a slow cooker layered with onions, carrots, and potatoes. A splash of Worcestershire sauce and beef broth deepens the gravy that forms naturally while it cooks. Because everything happens in one vessel, cleanup is minimal. Leftover meat makes outstanding sandwiches or hash the next morning.

48. Vegetable-Loaded Skillet Lasagna

This shortcut lasagna skips the tedious layering by simmering broken noodles directly in the sauce. Diced zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms cook alongside the pasta, adding color and nutrients. Dollops of ricotta melt into creamy pockets while mozzarella blankets the top. The skillet moves from stovetop to broiler for a quick finish and dramatic cheese pull.

49. Sticky BBQ Chicken Drumsticks

Drumsticks are affordable, juicy, and practically foolproof for family dinners. A quick dry rub helps the skin crisp in the oven before a final brush of barbecue sauce caramelizes. Lining the pan with parchment keeps the sticky glaze from welding to the sheet. Pair with corn on the cob or a simple green salad for an effortless plate.

50. Shrimp Scampi Linguine

Sautéing shrimp in garlic butter takes less than five minutes, making this dish ideal for busy evenings. Reserved pasta water emulsifies with white wine and lemon to create a silky sauce that clings to every strand. Because seafood cooks quickly, the entire meal hits the table in under 25 minutes. Offer grated Parmesan and crusty bread to swipe up any remaining sauce.

51. Turkey Meatball Subs

Ground turkey keeps these meatballs lighter while still delivering classic Italian flavors thanks to garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. Baking instead of pan-frying frees you from stovetop splatter and reduces fat. Once cooked, the meatballs simmer briefly in marinara before being tucked into rolls and topped with cheese. A quick broil melts everything together for a diner-style sandwich at home.

52. Sheet-Pan Sausage & Peppers

Layering sausage over vegetables allows savory juices to baste the produce as everything roasts. Mild, hot, or chicken sausage all work, so pick what your crew loves. Twenty-five minutes in a hot oven yields caramelized edges and minimal dish duty. Serve on hoagie rolls or alongside polenta for a comforting finish.

53. Baked Three-Cheese Macaroni

A trio of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan balances gooey melt with sharp flavor. A quick roux forms the backbone of the creamy sauce, coating every elbow noodle. For extra crunch, scatter buttered breadcrumbs on top before baking. Kids adore the familiar taste, while adults appreciate the nuanced cheese blend.

54. Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches

Canned young jackfruit shreds easily, mimicking the texture of pulled pork without the long cook time. Simmer it in barbecue sauce and spices until the pieces absorb smoky sweetness. The result pairs perfectly with tangy slaw for contrast. This plant-based option wins over carnivores and vegetarians alike.

55. Creamy Tuscan Salmon

Pan-searing locks in moisture before fillets finish gently in a garlic cream sauce studded with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. The dish channels restaurant vibes while staying weeknight simple. Heavy cream can be swapped for half-and-half to lighten things up. Serve with crusty bread or steamed veggies to soak up every drop.

56. Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apples

Pork tenderloin cooks quickly and stays tender, especially when brined briefly in salt and brown sugar. Roasting apple wedges on the same pan adds sweetness and saves dishes. A simple pan sauce of Dijon mustard and cider vinegar ties everything together. The flavor combination feels autumnal yet works year-round.

57. Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Thinly sliced flank steak marinates in soy sauce and cornstarch, ensuring velvety texture once cooked. Blanching broccoli first keeps it crisp-tender during the quick stir-fry. A simple sauce of oyster sauce, ginger, and a dash of sesame oil coats every bite. Serve over steamed jasmine rice for a takeout favorite made healthier at home.

58. Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Combine chicken breasts, tomatoes, corn, black beans, and spices in the slow cooker and let the appliance handle the rest. Shredding the chicken at the end thickens the broth naturally. Crunchy tortilla strips and fresh toppings add texture and brightness. The soup reheats beautifully, making it ideal for next-day lunches.

59. Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Jumbo shells hold a creamy mixture of ricotta, Parmesan, and sautéed spinach that feels indulgent yet balanced. Laying the shells over a bed of marinara keeps them moist during baking. A final sprinkle of mozzarella turns golden in the oven, signaling dinnertime. Assemble the tray earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to bake.

60. Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie

A refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry cuts prep time without sacrificing comfort. The filling combines cooked chicken, peas, carrots, and a thyme-scented cream sauce. Venting the crust allows steam to escape, keeping it crisp rather than soggy. Serve with a simple green salad to lighten the plate.

61. Greek-Style Baked Cod

Lean cod bakes quickly beneath a topping of juicy cherry tomatoes, briny olives, and crumbled feta. A drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of oregano impart classic Mediterranean flavor. Because the fish cooks in under 15 minutes, start your side dish first. Couscous or roasted potatoes round out the meal nicely.

62. Teriyaki Tofu Bowls

Pressing tofu removes excess moisture, helping each cube achieve crisp edges when pan-seared. A quick homemade teriyaki sauce of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and honey thickens around the tofu. Assemble bowls with rice, steamed edamame, and fresh veggies for color and crunch. Kids enjoy customizing toppings to their liking.

63. Cajun Jambalaya Skillet

Starting with the Cajun holy trinity of onion, celery, and bell pepper sets a flavorful base. Andouille sausage seasons the rice as everything cooks together, while shrimp are stirred in near the end to prevent overcooking. A single pan yields smoky, spicy comfort with almost no cleanup. Adjust cayenne to suit your family’s heat preference.

64. Pesto Tortellini Bake

Refrigerated cheese tortellini shave serious time off pasta night. Toss cooked tortellini with basil pesto, cherry tomatoes, and a splash of cream, then finish under the broiler with mozzarella. The result tastes like summer even in February. Serve alongside garlic bread for extra satisfaction.

65. Vegetable & Bacon Breakfast Frittata

Breakfast for dinner feels special without demanding much effort. Crisp bacon first, then sauté veggies in the rendered fat for maximum flavor. Whisked eggs pour over the mix and bake until just set, keeping the center creamy. Leftovers reheat well for quick weekday breakfasts.
