Open in Pepper →Spoon Food That Still Tastes Like Dinner
Sometimes somebody at the table needs food that goes down easy — after dental work, during a sore throat week, or just when nobody has the energy to chew through a pork chop. Soft doesn't have to mean sad, and it doesn't have to mean two different dinners.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when someone's recovering, when a little one is out of sorts, or when the whole house wants something warm and forgiving on a Tuesday night.
Every recipe here is tender all the way through: Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Tini's Mac and Cheese, Creamiest Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Classic Southern Meatloaf, One Pot Chicken Pot Pie Orzo Dinner, and Ground Beef and Gravy over Mashed Potatoes.
Quick Tips
- 1
Warm the milk first
Cold milk seizes up mashed potatoes and makes them gluey. Heat the cup of milk or cream with the butter for 2 minutes before stirring it in.
- 2
Shred your own cheese
Bagged shreds are coated in starch that turns mac and cheese grainy. Grate the mozzarella and Colby-Jack off the block and it melts smooth every time.
- 3
Dice everything small
For pot pie soup or orzo dinner, cut chicken and vegetables into 1/2-inch pieces so every spoonful is soft and easy to swallow.
- 4
Rest the meatloaf
Let it sit 10 minutes out of the oven before slicing. It stays juicy instead of crumbling, and the slices soak up gravy better.
