September is a month of transitions. Summer gives way to fall, some of us head back to school (whatever that may look like this year), and we begin to settle into the last quarter of the year. We gave you plenty of new recipes last month but the overwhelming favorites were those that were totally homey. It reflects just how important of a role comfort food plays in easing the adjustments we’re all working through.

From cheesy chicken and rice casserole and pillowy focaccia pizza to sugared apple pull-apart bread and steak and cheese-stuffed peppers, these are the 10 most popular new recipes we published this month.
