WTW for a dish that doesn't require a side to be the main course

I use an app to manage my recipes & am trying to update all the tags for faster searching. However I am having a problem coming up with a label for dishes that are self contained (*IE chicken pot pie, Bò Lúc Lắc, pot roasts, paella, many Italian pasta dishes, etc*). These tend to be served by themselves as the main dish & don't require a side dish compared to other recipes that create a full meal when paired with sides (*IE beef wellington, fried chicken, etc*).

I'm hesitant to call them One-Pot Meals, bc some of them require a few different pots & pans, & Complete Meal feels too on the nose. I've been rolling entrée around in my head, but something about it doesn't feel quite right.

Is there a better word for these?
