One-Skillet Recipes To Make Your Life Easier (PHOTOS)

Stop juggling a pot or pan on every burner.

Let's face it: Cooking complex meals can be a bit stressful. And sometimes a watchful eye and a lot of breath-holding isn't quite enough to save you from the disaster that can be juggling a pot or pan on every burner.

But not all meals require you to dirty every single piece of cookware -- in fact, you can make a delicious meal in only one skillet. Everything from paella to shrimp to lasagna can be transformed into a one-skillet meal, meaning less stress, smaller chance of disaster, and fewer pans to wash. What could be a better dinner solution?

Here are our 14 favorite one-skillet recipes -- but if you have a different go-to, let us know in the comments!
