There's nothing like a great American cookout. Whether you're celebrating a patriotic holiday like the 4th of July or simply gathering together with friends, backyard barbeques are where some of the most mouthwatering American dishes are made. Topping the list of our favorite melting pot recipes is a BBQ classic: burgers!
Hamburgers, turkey burgers and even veggies burgers are a staple in American cooking. Grill your favorite burger patty on the barbeque outside, or sear them over the stove for a more modern flavor. No matter how you choose to cook your burgers, they won't be complete until you've added the toppings to match. Ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, lettuce, onion and cheese are all toppings that taste great on burgers and make this meal a true American classic.
For a veggie burger that everyone at the table will enjoy, make these Easy Gluten Free Black Bean Burgers. Full of flavor and simple to make, they're the perfect recipe for using what you have on hand to create a classic burger-like texture.
There's something about international cuisine with an American twist that we can get enough of. While many dishes that we enjoy first originated in countries other than the United States, through years of trial and error, they have become "Americanized." This process created entirely new dishes that we've grown to love, like deep-dish pizza! A famous Chicago cuisine, deep-dish pizza, put a spin on classic Italian pizza when Americans decided to bake it in a cast-iron skillet. A dish made famous for its thick crust and bread filled to the brim with cheeses, meat and sauce, deep-dish pizza is out-of-this-world delicious.
Bring pizza night back this fall with this delicious Gluten Free Deep Dish Pizza Recipe. A pizza that can also be made egg-free, fill it with your favorite toppings to create a melting pot meal that's worth melting for.
It's safe to say that in the United States, there's one food that we can all agree is delicious - comfort food! Classic dishes like mac and cheese, chicken pot pie and chili are all excellent foods to cozy up to on a chilly night. And while you may remember making these foods as far back as you can remember, the chances are they all have origins from different parts of the world. Which is why we believe they're so delicious!
For a bowl of creamy goodness that is sure to satisfy your comfort food cravings, make this Mac and Cheez. In this recipe, nutritional yeast is used to add a cheesy flavor to a vegan meal. A staple in the Bob's Red Mill kitchen, it's sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
When it comes to American cooking, two unique foods usually come to mind, meat and potatoes. Commonly served up on a steaming plate with a side of veggies, meat and potatoes are the staples of many American holidays, like Thanksgiving. Roasted turkey, cranberry sauce and creamy mash potatoes can be found on nearly every plate throughout the holiday season.
If you've mastered mash potatoes and are looking for a delicious way to use the leftovers, make these Leftover Mashed Potato Pierogies. Commonly made with shredded cheddar cheese and topped with sour cream, this recipe is completely customizable. Feel free to get creative and use what you have on hand, like chopped bacon, parsley and onion!
