LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

ASK COOK’S COUNTRY

Can You Freeze Cake Layers?

KITCHEN SHORTCUTS

Tasting Egg Noodles • Because your chicken noodle soup deserves the very best.

Forty-Plus Years of Pork Perfection

Carnitas • It took 86 pounds of meat (and 26 pounds of lard) to crack the deceptively simple code.

Croque Monsieur • This big-city favorite takes grilled cheese to new heights.

Easy Homemade Sliders • Cooking these iconic two-bite burgers at home is almost as quick and easy as pulling up to the drive-through.

Pasta e Fagioli • “Pasta fazool,” the hearty pasta and bean soup, is Italian American comfort food at its best.

Steak Milanese • How do you make an inexpensive, underused cut of beef feel special? Pound it, bread it, and fry it.

Cast Iron Oven-Fried Chicken • Could we find a way to replicate the crunchy exterior and juicy meat of deep-fried chicken in the oven?

Green Beans with Bacon and Onion • The secret to this superflavorful side? Staggering the cooking.

Brandy Chicken • Could a bit of booze elevate a humble chicken dinner to something special?

Pan-Roasted Pear Salad • There’s nothing wrong with a perfect, juicy pear by itself. But we wanted something more.

Bagel Bread • We were looking for a bagel optimized for a sandwich. What we found was even better.

THE AMERICAN TABLE

Apple Turnovers • Two convenience items—apple butter and frozen puff pastry—make bakery-quality turnovers a breeze to whip up at home.

Gravy • At its most basic, gravy is a thickened sauce of stock, meat juices, and drippings. Simple as it may be, few foods are as profoundly comforting or have such great potential to turn a ho-hum meal into something extraordinary.

Roast Turkey Breast with Gravy • Our goal this year: an elegant all-white-meat roast. With gravy.

Corn Pudding • Just say no to canned corn and boxed corn muffin mix.

Cajun Rice Dressing • You never know where you’ll find your new Thanksgiving favorite.

Bayou Bash

Amish Potato Filling • Creamy mashed potatoes combined with classic bread stuffing? Say what?

Make-Ahead Pumpkin Pie • What we wanted: a pumpkin pie we could freeze whole. What we got: an excellent pie, frozen or not.

Don’t Destroy Your Pretty Pie with a Subpar Pie Server

All-Purpose Pie Dough • It took us more than 80 attempts, but we created a recipe for a tasty all-butter pie dough that is actually easy to work with.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes • We didn’t want to mask the unique, earthy flavor of sweet potato. We wanted to highlight it.

Stuffed Chicken Breasts • Adding a flavorful filling can be a great way to make mild chicken breasts seem special. But could we make it easy enough for a weeknight supper for two?

Cocktail Meatballs • A recipe for happy party guests: homemade cocktail meatballs in a sweet, bold glaze.

White Chicken Chili with Cornmeal Dumplings • Timesaving ingredients make this flavorful chili-cornbread combo easy to prepare—and its bold, bright flavors make it easy to eat.

Packaged Stuffing • In just 10 minutes, you can have a side dish for your holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. But will it be any good?

8-Inch Nonstick Skillets • We...
