A true “one-pot” meal contains protein, starch and vegetables all in the same pot. Any recipe that directs the cook to, “Prepare pasta separately.” or “Serve with bread.” is not a true “one-pot” meal.

**All _Glorious One-Pot Meal_ recipes are true “one-pot” meals.**

Make no mistake: _Glorious One-Pot Meals_ are NOT slow-cooker roasts, crock-pot stews, casseroles or skillet meals.
