Our Most Popular Recipes of 2024
We’re always keeping a pulse on the food world so we can alert you to trends like the cocktail of summer, spill about the next pumpkin spice latte, and put the latest cottage cheese hack through the paces to give you the honest truth. (ICYMI, feel free to skip the viral flatbread recipe.)
As fun as it is looking ahead, we also love looking back on what you adored and devoured most. So we analyzed our recipe categories to see which three recipes were the most popular of all for each. Consider the dishes and drinks below your 2024 medal winners!
You might notice some similar themes among them. Million Dollar Recipes—named because they taste like that, not because that’s how much they cost to execute—are always a win. BHG fans are also wild about copycats, comfort food, pasta, pizza, and potatoes. And when it comes time to say “cheers,” you don’t want our drinks to be fussy: Each of your most-clicked cocktails call for five ingredients or less.
The Most Popular Breakfast Recipes of 2024
A swicy baked bacon side dish, a “cozy, hearty, and easy to make” cheesy hash brown casserole, and five-ingredient, no-rolling-required biscuits are on the menu for breakfast at your place, it seems. When can we come over?
The Most Popular Lunch Recipes of 2024
For lunch, we—and now we know, you, too—love a shortcut. For the quesadillas, using leftover or rotisserie chicken and baking them on a sheet pan saves so much time (rather than fussing over single quesadillas on a griddle). The pasta salad gets an upgrade with store-bought cheese tortellini, and the pizza casserole makes mealtime magic out of canned biscuits and a spiffed-up jar of pizza sauce.
The Most Popular Dinner Recipes of 2024
Ground beef and chicken are the MVPs on many dinner tables across America, and these three creations are your favorites this year. Several of you have written in to tell us that these are on your weekly rotation, and after tasting these during testing, we understand why. Including chicken thighs swimming in a garlicky-cream sauce, a vegetable-beef casserole that’s been “the ultimate comfort food” for more than 80 years, and an easy spaghetti dinner that tastes like lasagna, you can’t go wrong.
The Most Popular Dessert Recipes of 2024
Introducing: Your gold, silver, and bronze selections when you’re craving something sweet!.The Crinkle Cake is one of those viral food trends that’s actually far easier—and even tastier—than it looks on your phone. Just be forewarned: One reader says, “I regret making this… because my family and I can’t stop eating it! Imagine a less sweet baklava without the nuts and softened with an eggier taste. It’s easy and fun to make, light but deliciously decadent to nibble on.” If that’s not your jam, try topping your favorite cake or cookie recipe with our foolproof three-ingredient frosting, or invest five minutes of prep time for a chocolate cake that’s “very good and very fudgy,” according to fans.
The Most Popular Appetizers and Sides of 2024
We’ll be excitedly awaiting our invitation to your party, because you all have great taste. Your greatest hits in the snacks and sides category are timeless deviled eggs with an incognito secret step (a bit of butter in the yolk mixture!), a rich, bacon-topped cheese dip that’s been beloved since the 1950s, and a spud side that’s restaurant-quality and “worth the effort,” readers confirm.
The Most Popular Drink Recipes of 2024
Would you rather: bubbles, tequila, and/or vodka? Those are the base spirits showcased in your top drinks of the year, which prove that you have diverse preferences in the drink space. The common feature among these spritzes and the creamy coffee-flavored cocktail? Each uses five ingredients or less and is fairly low in alcohol. You’ll raise a glass to that tomorrow!
So what’s next? We’ve looked into our crystal ball (okay, more realistically, we called our trusted trend expert pals) and rounded up what we predict will be among the biggest 2025 food trends and 2025 drink trends. Now it’s up to you to click, whip up, and review our recipes so we can report back this time next year with your picks for the most popular.
