These Easy Ham and Cheese Sliders Come Together in Less than 30 Minutes Recipes

Orange bags of Hawaiian rolls are the first thing that greet me at my local grocer, so it’s no surprise that sliders are one of my favorite dinner ideas. This week I’m serving a classic: ham and cheese sliders. These sliders have it all: sweet slices of ham, irresistibly gooey Swiss cheese, squishy Hawaiian rolls, and a savory butter drizzled over top. Here’s how to make them. They’re perfect for every occasion.

I Make These Classic Chinese Dumplings Every Lunar New Year Recipes

From Polish pierogi and Italian ravioli to Japanese gyoza and Korean mandu, dumplings are universal comfort food. Even though there are as many variations as there are eaters, the classic Chinese dumpling is filled with a ground pork and garlic chive base to which cabbage, scallions, and black mushrooms can be added.

30 Easy Italian Sausage Dinners to Make Forever Recipes

Italian sausage is one of my favorite proteins. It packs a lot of flavor, and yet it still manages to pair well with just about anything. Whether you like yours sweet, spicy, or mild, there are plenty of things you can make at home with it. Of course there’s pasta, which is usually the first thing that comes to mind when people think about Italian sausage, but that’s really just the beginning. Soups, casseroles, and sheet pan dinners are all great ways to turn sausage into a meal.

Homemade Lumpia Is the Hit of Every Party (They’re So Crispy!)Recipes

Lumpia Shanghai is a popular Filipino spring roll that’s traditionally filled with ground pork, onions, garlic and/or vegetables and shallow-fried in a skillet, giving it a light, crisp exterior.It’s the first thing the kids line up for, patiently waiting for the aunties to be done frying so they can cram a piping-hot lumpia into their mouths. I’m guilty of piling my plate up with lumpia only and eating as much as I can, not really caring about who doesn’t get any.

Slow Cooker Honey-Glazed Ham Is the Easiest Holiday Main Recipes

My father in-law is not a big fan of turkey. So about five years ago, we started adding a bone-in-ham to the family Thanksgiving menu. But each year I am the host and cook, and so I would run into a problem: After making the turkey, how do I season and heat a full ham while all the side dishes are hogging the oven space? Fortunately I settled on a solution: Put the ham in a slow cooker!I admit, spiral-cut ham wasn’t something I always loved.

15 Leftover Ham Bone Recipes to Make After the Holidays Recipes

If you’re buying a big bone-in ham for the holidays this year, consider this your friendly reminder that you’ll be left with a tasty ingredient after all the meat’s been picked off: The ham bone. So, whatever you do, don’t toss it in the compost bin or trash. Ham bones are packed with so much rich, smoky flavor. Don’t have time to put the ham bone to use right away? No problem, just freeze the bone, as you would any other meat bones and food scraps.

How To Grill the Juiciest Pork Tenderloin in Under 30 Minutes Recipes

Picture this: You’ve got guests coming over for a cookout in less than an hour. What can you grill that will be both impressive and quick? The answer is almost always grilled pork tenderloin. Pork, especially the pork tenderloin, takes incredibly well to the smoky char of the grill. With just a smart dry rub of sugar, salt, and spices, pork tenderloin grills up with a thin, tender-crisp crust, while being incredibly juicy and, well, tender in the interior.

These Dan Dan Noodles Are Totally Irresistible Recipes

Dan dan noodles are one of the great classics of Sichuanese cooking, and to understand what makes them so simple yet irresistible, we have to understand their origins. “Dan dan” comes from the vaguely onomatopoeic reference to a traditional street peddler’s shoulder pole (dan): a basket hanging from one end of the pole fills his pots, pans and bowls, while another basket hanging from the other end contains his noodles and garnishes, swaying and bouncing as he walks.
