A new year is upon us, marking a great time to gather inspiration and save new recipes to keep in your back pocket. Last week, Allrecipes members saved thousands of recipes to try, and their top picks were nothing short of irresistible—from cozy, hearty casseroles to a well-balanced sheet pan dinner and protein-forward chicken salad. Here are the recipes our community of home cooks can’t wait to savor.
Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Veggies
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
This steak dinner is truly all-in-one. Pile on potatoes, onions, and green beans for a buttery, crispy sheet pan meal.
Million Dollar Chicken Casserole
Peyton Beckwith
This Million Dollar Chicken Casserole is rich, creamy, and incredibly savory. Cottage cheese is the secret ingredient that lends an ultra-creamy texture, and using rotisserie chicken keeps this recipe quick. Add peas or steamed broccoli for some extra veggies, and serve it with serve with a simple salad or noodles.
Cowboy Butter Spaghetti
Allrecipes / Sonia Bozzo
Turn humble buttered noodles into Cowboy Butter Spaghetti. Spicy compound butter and cream combine in a sauce for spaghetti that can be a side dish as it is, or you can add chicken, bacon, shrimp, or vegetables and make it a main.
Grandma’s Ground Beef Casserole
Featuring ground beef, noodles and a creamy cheese sauce, this retro recipe dates back to the 1940s. You can tweak the amount of cheese and sour cream depending on what you’ve got in the fridge—it’ll still turn out great!
Healthy Chicken Salad
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
While most of our most-saved recipes are hot dinner meals, this recipe is a welcome change from the typical. Refreshing and bright, this chicken salad recipe uses a mixture of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese instead of regular mayonnaise for extra protein. Apples and dried cranberries add a sweet-tart flavor, while chopped pecans provide textural interest in every bite. Serve it on crackers, on a croissant, in a pita, or grab a fork and just dig in!
