25. One Pan Meatloaf Dinner

While all of these Whole30 recipes are easy, we still love a one-pan dinner for easy cleanup! Meatloaf is one of those comfort food dinners that always fills me up and is delicious, but it always takes a long time to make. This recipe makes mini meatloaves so that they cook faster. You’ll have dinner on the table in no time. 

26. Low Carb Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken is easily made Whole30 compliant by swapping out the butter for some ghee and heavy cream for some full-fat coconut milk.

27. Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup

Speaking of cold evenings, this creamy sausage potato soup is a must make all winter long.
