Our Favorite Meatloaf

We tried a lot of meatloaf recipes in our test kitchen to create the ultimate version. We promise it won't disappoint.

Marinated Mixed Beans

Coating the herbs in oil and soaking the shallot in vinegar prevents oxidation, so you can keep these beans for days.

Prego Roll

On the streets of Lisbon and outside any nightclub or bar in Johannesburg, you’ll find vendors grilling steak and slathering garlic butter on a soft bun—heaven. The key to this mouth-watering street food is finding a soft, airy roll to absorb the steak juices. If there is a Portuguese market near you, you’re in luck! If not, look for a soft roll dusted with flour at your local bakery.

Red Potato and Shishito Pepper Hash

Go hard on those potatoes and let them get good and browned before tossing them in the pan. That way they’ll keep their crunch after being doused with the spicy mayonnaise.

Radicchio and Citrus Salad with Preserved Lemon

Chef Ignacio Mattos of Café Altro Paradiso and Estela in NYC inspired this puréed lemon dressing with olive oil, miso, and honey—the ideal base note for pleasantly bitter radicchio.

Fennel and Celery Root Salad

Simplicity relies on quality. Be choosy when picking your produce, and look for a new-harvest olive oil for this, which will lend a bright, robust flavor.

Man'oushe with Za'atar Oil, Tomatoes, and Cucumber

You can serve these flatbreads as is or wrapped around a filling.

Easy General Tso's Chicken

This quick and spicy riff on General Tso’s chicken relies on ingredients you probably already have in the pantry.

Homemade Instant Mac and Cheese

Cheesier macaroni and cheese in minutes—no box required.

Monte Cristo Sandwiches

A delightfully mustardy version of the battered and fried turkey, ham, and cheese sandwiches.

Asian Chicken and Cilantro Meatballs

My love for Asian food is never-ending, and this easy, quick chicken meatball creation is a favorite. The secret here is to steam the meatballs so they remain tender and succulent. Searing briefly afterward adds a wonderfully caramelized crust without overcooking.

Spiced Marinated Beets

Use any whole spices you like for this beets recipe; just make sure you sizzle them in oil first to bring out their flavor.

Smashed Cucumbers and Radishes in Yogurt Sauce

Wheels of cucumbers and radishes are nice and all, but smashing them into ragged pieces is way more fun.

Roasted Cauliflower Larb

Cauliflower might not be a traditional ingredient in larb recipes, but the toasted rice powder is. 

Bucatini With Lemony Carbonara

Lemon makes the perfect foil for carbonara’s salty richness. You may never go back.

Roasted Root Vegetables

Maple syrup and warm, fall spices add a touch of sweetness to easy roasted veggies.

Cauliflower-Crust Pizza

We tested countless cauliflower pizza crust recipes and came up with the absolute best one.

Chickpea Crepe "Tacos" With Eggplant and Lamb

Thin, naturally grain-free chickpea flour pancakes take the place of tortillas in these warmly spiced lamb and eggplant “tacos.”

Spaghetti Squash Fritters

This recipe is inspired by one in Mollie Katzen’s book The Vegetable Dishes I Can’t Live Without. Heads up! This recipe calls for already cooked spaghetti squash.
