The oven is winter's grill—plop a few things in, shut the door, hum for a little while, dinner! And you can stuff tons of different dishes in there on days that are not Thanksgiving. So load up your baking sheets, grease your casserole dish: a two-dish dinner is an oven ride away.

Here are 6 meals that can be made at the same time in the oven. Mix and match as you wish!

Great idea, though you could definitely only get 4 in my oven tops. I'd be happy to eat any or all of these, though!

This reminded me of M. F. K. Fisher's "How to Cook a Wolf", about feeding oneself on a very low budget. It seems that apartment ovens used to be metered: you literally had to feed coins into a coin slot to turn on the gas for a fixed period of time. So the strategy was to pack the oven with as many dishes as possible to get maximum use out of the cash.
