This perfect, classic macaroni and cheese is all about contrast, with a crunchy, buttery topping and a creamy, cheesy interior.

Alton uses a loaf pan as a mold, and then flips the meatloaf onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet for cooking. With this method, your meatloaf will have a sweet and crispy crust on the outside.

With thousands of five-star reviews, this has been the most popular recipe on FoodNetwork.com for years! Alton’s foolproof roast turkey recipe is sure to come in handy this Thanksgiving, or for any festive feast.

Alton’s secret tool for perfect guacamole is a potato masher. You get a chunky mash, instead of a puree or chopped up chunks. Cover the guacamole and let it sit at room temperature for an hour before serving, so all the flavors meld together.
