One Pot Hidden Veg Gnocchi
This easy weeknight family dinner is a brilliant way of sneaking some extra veggies into fussy eaters without them knowing! And being cooked in one pot, it saves on washing up too. Double win!
Sausages In Onion Gravy
As family meals go, you really can't beat a big bowl of sausages with mashed potato smothered in homemade gravy. There's nothing quite like it when you need a bit of comfort food!

My Meatball Pasta Bake is the ultimate comfort food and is a really economic way of feeding a large family. Cheap, simple to make and kid-friendly too!

Call me lazy but there's something about a one pot meal that just makes cooking a whole lot easier. And this chicken curry is fantastic for feeding the family in under 30 minutes.
Sheet Pan Kofte Kebab
If you're looking for a quick and easy mid week meal to feed the family then you need to try this Sheet Pan Kofte. With this method it all gets cooked on a baking tray, saving so much time!
Crispy Cornflake Chicken Nuggets
Kids love a chicken nugget and I've made a few different variations of homemade nuggets over the years but these ones are most definitely the best… if I do say so myself!
Easy Nachos
In less than 30 minutes you can make your own nachos at home. We love these for a fun Friday night dinner. So easy to make and so delicious too!
Sweet Chilli Chicken Meatballs
If your kids like noodles, then this recipe is a great way to start introducing Asian flavours to them. The flavours are really subtle and the chicken meatballs are always a hit in our house for dinner!
Chilli Con Carne
My Chilli Con Carne recipe is completely kid friendly and even contains some hidden veg that they will never know if there! Ready in less than 30 minutes, it's the perfect dinner during those colder winter months.
Easy Sausage & Butterbean Casserole
If you are after a speedy dinner recipe then this casserole couldn't get much quicker or simpler. Everything is cooked on the hob in one pan with ingredients that I always have to hand.
Baked Cream Cheese Pasta
A simple but delicious mid week family meal idea. Cream cheese baked in the oven with tomatoes and vegetables and mixed with pasta. Quick, easy and great for kids!
Smash Burgers
This recipe is actually in our 15 Minute Meals section, but it was TOO GOOD to leave off this roundup. A real family favourite dinner that takes zero effort!
Stick to simple recipes like the ones above, try one pot recipes and use shortcuts like microwave rice or frozen veggies as a side dish.
Absolutely. Lots of these recipes can be adapted or served in different ways to suit even the fussiest of eaters.
I hope these 30 Minute Dinners For Families give you lots of inspiration for quick dinner ideas during the week when time is short!
