what to cook this week april 7-13: 15-minute skillet pepper steak

I don’t know about you, but when the sun starts setting later and the weather gets warmer, all I want to do is be outside. The last place I want to be is standing at the stove for an hour when I could be soaking up the splendor of early spring instead. Luckily, I have plenty of quick, easy dinners up my sleeve for those days—and I wanted to share them with any cooks who are feeling particularly lazy this week.

Here, you’ll find seven recipes that take 20 minutes or less to prepare. The options range from cheater’s Buffalo chicken sliders (which call for a tasty shortcut you’ll lean on forever) to one-pan pepper steak that will rival that of your go-to takeout spot.
