Super Bowl

You’ll never miss the beans with this “stick to your ribs,” paleo, grass-fed ground beef–and–sausage version of the hearty Southwestern stew.

Ah, Babybel cheese, the fancy French chef’s secret weapon for fondue—it keeps the molten mixture from separating, and its unassuming flavor lets the Gruyère shine.

When great dips get together, it’s magic. This recipe boasts all the beauty of a creamy onion dip with the irresistible appeal of queso.

This zesty spin on the old party classic matches hot-smoked salmon with beet horseradish, two kinds of soft cheese, and crunchy veg and herbs. Serve it with bagels or pumpernickel bread.

This crackers recipe features a variety of seeds, and the combination of colors and textures is impressive, but you can use fewer types—just make sure total volume stays the same.

Cacio e pepe works on so many things, this potato chip recipe is just our latest obsession with using the whole flavor combination.

A quick spin in the food processor is all it takes to mix up these rustic whole-wheat crackers.

My Tater Tot hotdish has the body of a chicken pot pie, a dish that I loved growing up, long before I knew the existence of Tater Tot hotdish.

For easy, hands-off dinner prep, throw chicken thighs, green chiles, white beans, and a flurry of spices into your slow cooker and come home to a hearty, flavorful meal.

This chili pleases all palates in my house—it's not too spicy or too mild, but it's loaded with flavor. I love the combination of black beans and chickpeas, but you can use any type of legumes you like. What really makes the chili, in my opinion, are the toppings! Some sharp cheddar, a dollop of cumin-cilantro sour cream, and diced red onions are a must. Sometimes I even add some crushed tortilla chips.

There's more to wings than Buffalo sauce—here, they're tossed in a sesame-lime vinaigrette, charred alongside shishito peppers, and scattered with jalapeños.

Replacing soda water with a beer float makes for a frothy, refreshing twist on the Americano, a classic Italian cocktail.

For Super Bowl 50, go all-out with our epic 50-ingredient nachos, or choose just one of the (much-simpler) five “zones” to make for game day.
