Open in Pepper →Sunday dinner isn't a weeknight — it's the meal that sets the tone for the week ahead and stretches into a few days of leftovers.
Cooks on Pepper reach for long-cook proteins (brisket, ribs, roasts) plus soul-food sides like greens, mac, and cornbread.
The best Sunday dinners are the ones you can put on with a coffee and still be plating by six — low effort, high payoff.
Start the meat first
Ribs, brisket, and roasts need hours — plan backwards from serving time.
Let it rest
A full 20-30 minute rest on any big cut keeps every slice juicy.
Sides can wait
Greens, mac, and cornbread hold at room temp — get them mostly done before the meat's out.
Double the recipe
Sunday dinner is Monday and Tuesday lunch if you make enough.
