The Best Five Ingredient Recipes

These days, I am busy! So I love a quick and easy recipe. And I know that I’m not the only one with a lot on their plate! So that’s why I brought together this list of the Best Five Ingredient Recipes! These recipes require very little prep, come together quickly and are ready for your family to enjoy without you having to spend a ton of time in the kitchen!

Since we are on the move so much, I love coming home to meals that I know I can get on the table easily. Whether it’s an easy White Bean Salad, Chicken Nuggets or a healthy Pepperoni Wrap, convenience is key! So find your next simple weeknight meal with only five ingredients (or less!) for your family tonight!

Are these Five Ingredient Recipes good for meal prep?

They sure are! I regularly prepare these meals beforehand, or I prep everything when I have time and then just pop them in the oven when it’s time to cook! Several of these are five ingredient snack recipes, which are perfect for when you want a healthy snack, especially on the go. You can also prepare a number of these recipes ahead of time and freeze, making them perfect for meal prep!

This is such a great round-up, Annie! I hate when I write out a grocery list for one meal and there are like 20 things on there! 5 ingredient recipes are where it's at :) Thanks for including my tots!
