Here at Heavenly Recipes, one thing I hear over and over from myreaders is that they don’t cook at home, for the mere fact that they hate to clean up. Well, my friends, it’s time to change that!
25 Heavenly Recipes For People Who Hate to Clean Up!
These heavenly recipes are easy to make and require very little cleanup.
APPETIZER & SIDES
Cheeseball Dip
Cheeseball Dip is super quick and easy to make. You can double or triple the recipe to feed a crowd. However, your clean up will be throwing a cutting board, knife, and bowl into the dishwasher! How’s that for little cleanup?
Cincinnati Skyline Chili Dip
I love this appetizer for its simplicity. Made in one bowl or a pie dish, it’s all about tossing the packaging to the ingredients into the recycling bin!
Easy Stuffed Mushrooms
If you enjoy mushrooms, this easy stuffed mushrooms recipe utilizes a cutting board, a knif, and a baking sheet! Should you decide to use leftover bacon from breakfast, you’ll also have one pan from cooking the bacon to clean up.
One Dish Chili Dip
It’s as simple as the name – One dish! Simply pour all of your ingredients in. What you have left for cleanup is the packaging! Oh, and of course, the skillet that you decide to cook it in!

Heavenly Recipes for Dinner
When I am serving guests dinner, this is the recipe I go to! Marinate the meat and veggies in Ziploc bags, use bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water and toss in the recycling when dinner is done. The hardest part to this recipe is chopping all the veggies and putting all the ingredients on the skewers!
Lemon Garlic Chicken with Baked Veggies
If eating healthy is your struggle, this is a super simple recipe that involves clean up of a single pan! I love cooking “sheet pan” dinners because it’s literally just one pan to clean and that’s it!
Crock-Pot Chicken Over Rice (my families fav!)
This is probably my family’s most eaten recipe. I don’t mind, as I’ve been eating it since I was a child. The fact that all 3 kids can now make it, is an added bonus. Clean up is simple by tossing the packaging in the recycling and having just the crock-pot to clean after dinner.
Foiled Lemon Grilled Salmon
Love salmon? Don’t like the smell? Wrap it up in foil, cook it on the grill and clean up is as easy as tossing the foil in the recycling bin!
