Make these 6 easy, delicious Ina Garten dishes you need this fall

A filling fall breakfast

Garten’s breakfast sandwich combines microwave-cooked eggs, bacon, avocado, and sharp white cheddar. The eggs are described as creamy, while the bacon adds a crisp contrast. The recipe is presented as an option for hectic mornings when work and school routines return. Garten recommends thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon.

Stock for soups and more

Garten’s homemade chicken stock simmers three roasting chickens with carrots, onions, celery, parsnips, garlic, and herbs. The recipe makes nearly nine quarts. The stock can be frozen for up to six months and used as a base for soups. It can also go into Garten’s one-pot chicken and orzo for a chilly-night meal.

Chili with a lighter twist

Garten’s chicken chili offers a lighter alternative to traditional chili. Its ingredients include red and yellow bell peppers, fresh basil, chili powder, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes.

The tomatoes and spices create a rich broth, while the chicken is described as tender and juicy. The writer says friends found the dish warming and cozy.

Pasta for busy evenings

Garten’s weeknight Bolognese is ready in 30 minutes, according to the article. She says cooks can substitute another ground meat for sirloin and omit the cream and basil if needed.

Orecchiette is recommended, though any dried pasta will work. The dish is topped with freshly grated Parmesan, and the writer ranked it second among Barefoot Contessa pasta dishes.
