Bean

We said it was vegetarian—we didn't say it was health food. In this veggie quesadilla recipe, stack tortillas with black beans, squash, and plenty of cheese.

This lamb-version of the Cincinnati chili recipe is thinner than your average chili, packed with aromatic spices like allspice and cinnamon, and layered on top of spaghetti.

Thanks to paprika, this meatless main has a spicy, smoky flavor. 

Someone should warn my fiancé that we are about to eat this dish at least once a week for the next four years.

This dish has everything going for it in terms of ingredients, speed and simplicity. Plus, I have a thing for smoked paprika.
