Living on the road with a small kitchen is a challenge when I want to feed the family something that is a) Tasty b) simple and c) does not dirty every dish we own. I had to get creative and come up with these one-pot recipes to make my life easier. Even if you have a full-size kitchen, you will no doubt love this simple dish that cuts down on kitchen mess.

One of my favorite items to cook one pot meals in are my enabled cast iron dutch ovens. In my stick and bricks house, I had 4 of them! When we moved to the RV, I went down to 1 and gave the rest to friends and family. I love them because I can cook on my stove top with them and then slip them in the oven as needed and it’s one less pan I have to clean up!

So hop on the less mess wagon and join me!
