The Best Recipes from Our Test Kitchen

We don’t like to brag, but when it comes to the chefs and recipe developers in our test kitchen, well, that’s a different story. They’re truly the best around—and we’d gladly devour anything they cook up. That’s why this is one of our favorite recipe roundups of all-time. From weeknight solutions (think, ideas for chicken breast or salmon) to irresistible desserts (hello, brownies and chocolate chip cookies!) you’ll find all their best recipes right here—ones that have been tested, tweaked and absolutely perfected. Family-favorites like macaroni and cheese or Sloppy Joes, comfort food cravings like meatballs or cozy soups and time-honored classics like stuffed peppers or quiche—if you’re hungry for it, you’ll find the best recipe for it right here. Wondering where to start? You can never go wrong with good, old-fashioned chicken and rice, especially our version that’s made in just one skillet. We use bone-in, skin on chicken thighs which cook up in exactly the same time as the rice to guarantee juicy chicken. A quick broil at the end creates the perfect crispy skin and gives a little crunch to the rice and vegetables.

The Best Turkey Meatloaf

A slightly lighter version of the all-American classic, this satisfying meatloaf uses chicken broth and soaked panko to stay moist, and a mix of fresh herbs for flavor. It’s the best turkey meatloaf you’ll find!

The Best Stuffed Peppers

We've made this classic easier and faster by using the microwave to par-cook the peppers, saving you about 45 minutes of cook time! This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice. Be sure to really pile in the filling (mounding it is ok) as it will shrink as it cooks.

The Best Chicken-Fried Steak

A staple throughout Texas, chicken-fried steak consists of a thinly pounded beef cutlet that is battered and fried until crisp, then served with creamy country gravy. Adding cornstarch to the seasoned flour and dredging the meat twice gives our version an extra-crunchy and flavorful crust.
