What "dump dinners" lack in sophistication, they make up for in convenience. You simply dump all the ingredients in a pot and cook according to the recipe—that's it! We've rounded up seven of our favorite dump dinners for every night of the week, from set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker meals to sheet pan suppers and one-pan wonders.

"This shipwreck casserole might not be pretty, but it is a tasty, busy-night, kid-friendly meal. The prep time is generally limited to how fast your can opener works and how hard it is to unwrap your meat. The big bonus is that it's a complete one-pot meal!" —Bcsgibson
