5 Greek Baked Chicken
This Alabama favorite features old-world flavors
in a wholly American way.

6 Sweet-and-Sour Baby Back Ribs
Grab a napkin—these indoor ribs are sticky, flavorful,
and impossibly tender.

7 German Potato Salad
Most potato salads are delicious, but this vintage German
version had fixer-upper written all over it.

8 Weeknight Ground Beef Tacos
Our goal: a taco filling flavorful enough to make you
want to ditch the prefab spice mix.

9 Mexican Rice
This staple side’s beauty lies in its simplicity
and a careful balance of fresh flavors.

10 Steak Marsala
Buttery, sweet, and savory Marsala sauce is perfect when
partnered with chicken cutlets. But what about pairing
it with steak?

11 Broccoli and Cheese Casserole
Old-school broccoli and cheese casserole is not bad.
But with an update, it can be great.

13 CaMun StuĮed Turkey Wings

This little-known Cajun classic deserves a bigger audience.

14 Popcorn Chicken

Bite-size fried chicken is a big seller at fast-food restaurants.

Our recipe makes it just as big a hit at home.

PLUS Are Ready-to-Bake Biscuits Any Good?

16 Pasta Aglio e Olio

Would we be able to create a silky, creamy pasta dish

without the added cheese?

18 StuĮed Pork Tenderloin

To bump up the mild flavor of pork tenderloin,

we worked from the inside out.

19 StuĮed Portobello Mushrooms

Our easy technique transforms what is typically a tired,

squishy vegetarian entrée into a tender, flavor-packed

dish anyone would love to eat.

20 Clementine Cake

Ground whole clementines in a cake? When done right,

it makes for a bright, delicious, citrus-kissed dessert.

22 Triple-Chocolate Sticky Buns

Naysayers said not to mess with a good thing.

We love proving naysayers wrong.

America’s Test Kitchen is a real test kitchen located

offer the best value and performance. You can watch
us work by tuning in to America’s Test Kitchen
