Our 10 Most-Popular Winter Recipes, According To Delish Readers (AKA You!)
Make these comforting meals before cozy season ends.
Here at Delish, we’re all about cozy season. We live and breathe comfort food, and love the opportunity to present something new, cozy, and delicious that we can all look forward to at the end of a cold winter day. Holiday recipes took up a fair share of our time this winter (we’ll never forget you, Rum Rum Rudolph), but we didn’t forget about the main event: winter weeknight dinners. There are countless recipes we’ll return to again and again, but these dinners are the top 10, the cream of the crop. From dinner mashups (lookin’ at you, lasagnchiladas), to new vegetarian mains like sweet and sour tofu and mediterranean white beans, to Marry Me recipes inspired by our viral chicken dinner that started it all, these recipes are the ones that readers came back to again and again. So if you need some dinner inspiration for how to make the most of the last portion of cozy season, turn to these top-clicked recipes—they’re your favorites for a reason.
French Onion Pot Roast
This is it: Our winter winner. Cold-weather comfort food is all we want on a lazy, long winter weekend, and this French onion pot roast is the perfect cross between slow-roasted chuck and classic cheesy French onion soup. Taking inspo from our onion soup rib roast, the beef is seasoned with onion soup mix to add depth and an extra umami boost.

High-Protein Marry Me Chicken
If the way to a person’s heart is really through their stomach, then our Marry Me chicken is a must-cook for pretty much everyone. But what if you want just a little added protein in your romantic meal? Bone broth and cottage cheese to the rescue.

Lasagnchiladas
Instead of creating an argument in the family group chat about what to have for dinner, just mash two favorites together like we did for this lasagna-enchilada hybrid we’ve dubbed lasagnchildas! It's exactly what it sounds like, i.e. INCREDIBLE.

Sweet & Sour Tofu
Sweet & sour sauce is a staple across Chinese-American restaurant menus—and for good reason. The combination of savory, tangy, and sweet flavors pairs well with virtually every protein, and especially tofu—because it’s mild in flavor, the sweet and sour sauce truly shines (even the tofu haters in your household will ask for seconds).

Mediterranean White Beans & Greens
A one-skillet recipe like this, made of hearty escarole stewed in a rich tomato sauce with lots of cannellini beans, is exactly what you’re surfing the web for. This can be eaten solo with grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top, mixed into ditalini, or sopped up with a hunk of crusty bread.
Lemon-Brown Butter Salmon
Hearty salmon fillets are pan-seared in browned butter with lemon zest and lemon juice, then topped with a flurry of freshly chopped herbs. This is the kind of quick meal you can pull off without missing a beat. Pair it with an easy-to-assemble salad or our foolproof mashed potatoes for a full meal that will rival your favorite restaurant.

French Dip Stuffed Biscuits
Who knew simple, store-bought ingredients like a can of biscuits, deli sliced roast beef, and a packet of au jus gravy mix could be transformed into something so delicious? Well, we did, which is why we’re strongly suggesting you fit this into your easy-weeknight meal rotation when you need something hearty and comforting with a fun twist.

White Bean & Smoked Sausage Skillet
Seared smoked sausage gets smothered in a creamy sauce made from shallot, garlic, chopped kale, and tender cannellini beans, then topped with crispy-crunchy homemade mini croutons to make this hearty skillet dinner.
Italian Meatloaf
There are many variations of this Italian-American hybrid, but this recipe shares history with the meatball: tender, cheesy, garlic-forward, and rich with tomato umami.

Marry Me Shrimp Pasta
Marry me shrimp pasta features a rich sun-dried tomato cream sauce loaded with shrimp, tender spinach, and fragrant herbs, all tossed with perfectly al dente pasta. Taking inspiration from our beloved marry me chicken, this is a new spin on a classic that’s both indulgent and easy to make.
