Chewy Brownies

Unsweetened chocolate and brown sugar impart a rich, well-rounded flavor, while adding a bit of oil to the batter results in the addictively chewy texture that makes this version an instant classic.

For an absolute classic, replace the tea syrup and seltzer with 1/2 cup cola.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are crispy at the edges, chewy in the center, and loaded with 2 kinds of chocolate. Feel free to add 2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.

Peel-and-Eat Shrimp

This shrimp appetizer couldn't be easier to make. Simply poach the shrimp in water, then tossed them with butter and Old Bay Seasoning, which provides the spark.

Baked Potato Chips

Potato chips are the natural accompaniment to our Tuna Nicoise Sandwiches; ours are sliced russets that are baked, not fried.

Shredded Beef Chuck Roast

Because a beef chuck roast has lots of connective tissue, long, slow cooking turns the meat juicy and almost satiny in texture. In fact, it's reason alone to own a slow cooker.

Quick Sauerkraut

This easy-to-make sauerkraut is a tasty hot dog topping. Use it to make our Classic Reubens and Pierogi with Sauerkraut and Mushrooms.

Slow-Cooker Triple Chocolate Brownies

Think beyond stews: Uncover the sweet side of your slow cooker with these crowd-pleasing brownies.

Shaker Lemon Bars

These lush treats are wonderful on any dessert table.

French Fries

The secret of delectable fries lies in the frying process. The oil needs to be just the right temperature—too cool, the potatoes will absorb the oil; too hot, the outsides of the potatoes will burn.

Baked Chicken Nuggets

Nuggets are a home run with kids, but admit it, you love them too. These are baked, so you can enjoy them guilt-free. A three-step breading method -- coating chicken pieces in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs -- seals in moisture and gives a crisp crunch without a lot of added fat.

Southern Pulled-Pork Sandwiches

Pork shoulder, a well-marbled cut available at most supermarkets, turns fork-tender after long, slow cooking. Ours is especially succulent with a spice rub and vinegar.

Poached-Chicken-Salad Sandwiches

Cooking chicken breasts slowly in simmering water ensures they'll be tender, not rubbery. Onion and salt in the water add flavor without fat. If you have them on hand, you can also toss in a bay leaf, lemon peel, or whole peppercorns to add even more flavor to these Poached-Chicken-Salad Sandwiches.

Slow-Cooker Chili Chicken Tacos

Hearty meats such as chicken thighs become fall-apart sumptuous after a long, gentle simmer in the slow cooker -- the results are ideal for shredding into tacos or sandwich fillings.

Fresh Tomatillo Salsa

Tomatillos should be bright green and firm, with dry paper-thin husks. When used raw, they brighten any salsa.

Sriracha-Glazed Chicken

Make this recipe with chicken wings for a crowd-pleasing game-day appetizer; make it with drumsticks for a simple weeknight dinner.

Half-Hour Chicken Gumbo

Rely on rotisserie chicken, smoked spicy sausage, and frozen okra from the store to stack up flavors in our quick rendition of a classic Cajun stew.

Classic Burger-Joint Cheeseburger

Forget waiting in the drive-thru lane! You can make a better burger at home with quality ingredients in no time.

Taco Truck-Style Guacamole

The acid in the tomatillos will keep your guacamole bright green even if not serving right away.

Baked Sweet-Potato Chips

A mandoline or a hand-held slicer will quickly turn out thin, even slices of sweet potato, although a sharp knife and a steady hand will also work fine.

Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket

No party appetizer gets tackled quite like pigs in a blanket. Our two-ingredient Super Bowl starter calls for store-bought pizza dough, hot dogs, and a springform pan for pull-apart presentation. For a touchdown dipper with an extra kick, fill the ramekin with this spicy sriracha mayonnaise.

Cucumber Ranch Dressing

Ranch dressing pairs up well with sturdy lettuces, not delicate ones, which droop under its heft. Ours also makes a refreshing dip for blanched vegetables such as these mixed beans.

Vegetarian Chili

A variety of vegetables, a rich tomato base, and just the right amount of spice make this vegetarian chili a satisfying option in only 35 minutes. Vegetarians will ask for this chili again and again. You may even convert meat lovers to vegetarian chili!
