As a cast iron-loving cook, I sometimes get weary of all the rumors about things you should not cook in cast iron pans (spoiler: there is nothing you can’t cook in your cast iron if it is well-seasoned). Cast iron skillets are classic cookware, often passed down through generations because they are nearly indestructible and get better the more you use them.

Buffalo chicken dip seems relegated to tailgating sessions and football-watching parties, but why? This creamy, spicy dip is packed with protein and can be a vehicle for eating more vegetables if you serve it that way.

And though we love our fair share of one-skillet chicken, we’ve expanded the possibilities to include pizza, pot pie, and even lasagna.

Here are the simple skillet dinners to remember when you need something delicious, without the mess.

Just the other day, I was working on a story about Target’s latest home brand, Made By Design, when I read something I’d never heard about the store before. (And that really doesn’t happen much because I’ve been writing about and — shopping at — Target for at least a cool decade.) Turns out, an informal poll revealed that other Kitchn staffers didn’t know this either.
