Here for your tasting pleasure are our most popular, most clicked recipes of the year!

Creamy Chicken-and-Rice Casserole

This baked chicken, rice, and mushroom casserole is the ultimate weeknight dinner! It’s cozy and hearty for cool evenings, but lightened up with lemon, white wine, and fresh herbs. This easy but elegant one-pot dinner is something you can riff on week after week, all year long.

Grilled Ginger-Pork Meatballs with Rice Noodle Salad

Looking to switch up your grilling routine? These chilled noodle bowls are perfect for when you’re craving something light yet filling. The best thing about this recipe, though, is that both the meatball mixture and the zippy fish sauce vinaigrette can be prepared in advance, so it’s easy to pull together at dinnertime.

B&B Butchers’ Mac & Cheese

While meat is the star at most steak houses, B&B Butchers’ Mac & Cheese steals all the attention. The chef team at this Fort Worth restaurant shared their decadent recipe, featuring three types of cheese and a crunchy panko breadcrumb topping.

Goya Foods’ Frozen Mango Margaritas

For a tropical take on a classic Mexican cocktail, try this tangy Frozen Mango Margarita! Goya Foods’ Executive Chef Fernando Desa showed us how mango pulp can transform into a refreshingly tasty margarita with the addition of tequila, lemon juice, and orange liqueur.

Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwich

This recipe has everything you love about a chicken Caesar salad—tangy dressing, sharp Parmesan cheese, crisp lettuce, juicy chicken—but in the form of a hulking sandwich with smoky char from the grill. This sandwich is pretty rich and comfortably serves four people, but would also serve two to three very hungry diners.

Spicy Pineapple Margarita Paletas

Tequila and a hit of fresh chile give these pineapple paletas a grown-up twist. Though you can use fresh pineapple, we like frozen pineapple for ease and because it is going to be frozen again anyways! To make a boozier treat, put a paleta in a rocks glass and pour your favorite tequila over it.

Honey Butter Chicken with Lemon

Winner, winner—y’all loved this chicken dinner! Roast chicken can be intimidating, but this fail-proof recipe uses a combination of braising and roasting techniques to make a chicken with ultra-crispy skin on the outside and unbelievably juicy, tender meat on the inside.

Slow-Cooker Meatballs

These hands-off slow-cooker meatballs require no searing, roasting, or stirring, making them a great make-ahead dinner for busy weeknights and an excellent recipe to have in your back pocket for holiday house guests.

Tomato and White Cheddar Tart

Puff pastry is one of our favorite store-bought shortcuts. The delicate, flaky dough can be found in your freezer aisle and makes this elegant savory tart a weeknight possibility. Serve it as a light dinner with a simple green salad on the side.

Monster Breakfast Sandwich with Jammy Tomato

We’ve been riffing on this slab breakfast sandwich technique from Alexandra’s Kitchen and came up with our ideal combo of crispy bacon, jammy tomatoes, and fresh greens. It’s an incredibly easy way to whip up breakfast for the whole family in one fell swoop!

Creamy Pumpkin Pasta with Kale and Sausage Breadcrumbs

In the cooler weather, cozy pastas are exactly what we want to be eating. This recipe uses canned pumpkin puree to make a creamy, decadent pasta sauce that is surprisingly easy to throw together.

Skillet Queso with Charred Cherry Tomatoes

This unbelievably gooey queso is impossible to stop eating. It’s surprisingly simple to make, yet will add some serious flair to your meal. We like to make this dip in a cast-iron skillet because it conducts heat well. We’ve included instructions for how to make this dip over a campfire or on your grill, but you can also whip it up on the stovetop to go with your weeknight taco spread.

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Yes, you read that right: Peanut. Butter. Cup. Brownies. We’ve taken our favorite candy and sandwiched it in the king of chocolatey desserts. The result is a super gooey, salty-sweet brownie with pockets of creamy peanut butter. And guess what? You can make this beyond-simple recipe with your favorite store-bought mix. It’s that easy!

Eggplant Parm Boats

Although available year-round, eggplant is at its peak in the summer and early fall. But when the weather is hot and the outdoors are calling, who wants to spend the time and effort breading and frying? This recipe has all the flavors of a classic eggplant Parmesan, but in an easy, lightened-up, weeknight-friendly package.
