I admit it, my roots are just about as city slicker as they come. Still, there’s a part of me that identifies with the cowboy mentality of the West. I once went to a rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and one of the things that I took away from that experience was the idea for this burger; it just seems like perfect rodeo fare. While in my mind’s eye the Cheyenne burger is best devoured at that rodeo or maybe while sitting around a campfire, I think its layers of smoked cheddar, spicy barbecue sauce, and crispy fried onions would bring out the cowboy in anyone, anywhere. Feeling extra adventurous? Add a couple slices of crisp bacon to the mix.
Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.
This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
This classic 15-minute sauce is your secret weapon for homemade mac and cheese, chowder, lasagna, and more.
A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.
This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.
I should address the awkward truth that I don’t use butter here but cream instead. You could, if you’re a stickler for tradition (and not a heretic like me), add a big slab of butter to the finished curry.
