Tuna Salad, Corn Casserole, and Many More Classics: Our Most Popular Newsletter Recipes of 2024
Serious Eats has an immensely loyal readership, but what’s beautiful about that is you all have different ways of being fans. Some of you diligently visit our homepage on the daily. Others prefer to keep up with new recipes (…and troll us) across our social platforms. And then, there are our newsletter readers, who like to keep up with the latest goings-on in the best way possible: by receiving emails from us everyday. (We’ll take an email filled with the most delicious recipes over one listing deadlines any day.) So this year, we put together a list of the recipes from our newsletter that you gave the most love. While a handful of these were published this year, many of them are heavy-hitters from years past that have clearly stood the test of time. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to dive in.
Oh, and subscribe to our newsletter if you’re any other kind of fan. Obviously.
Moroccan Egg Drop Harira (Vegetable and Legume Soup)
Soup, there it is! This Moroccan meal is the ultimate combination of hearty and comforting.
Classic Mayo-Dressed Tuna Salad Sandwiches
At first glance, this is a classic tuna salad recipe. But once you take a closer look, you’ll notice that Daniel had a few tricks up his sleeve to amp up the flavor and texture.
Italian-American Beef Braciole
Meat on meat is almost always a yes in our book. Katie Leaird’s beef braciole combines thin slices of beef, a savory breadcrumb filling, prosciutto, and a beautifully braised tomato sauce.
Tartiflette
Leave it to the French to do justice to melted cheese and potatoes. This gooey, creamy baked casserole of potatoes, cream, cheese, bacon, and onions is true French mountain food.
Sweet and Savory Corn Casserole
Corn casserole looks different depending on who you ask. We put the basics in place while offering specifics for when you want to tweak this recipe to your liking.
2-Ingredient Cream Biscuits
Who can say no to a two-ingredient recipe that definitely doesn’t taste like it’s comprised of just two ingredients? The origins of this recipe are as old as time, and Kenji reminds us that not everything worth making is brand new.
The Best Egg Salad Sandwich
I will never say no to egg salad, especially when it’s rich, creamy, bright, and fresh. No shade to deli egg salads, but this is how it’s done.
The Best Yorkshire Pudding
Kenji makes Yorkshire pudding look easy, but plot twist—his recipe actually is! His recipe yields tender and lightly chewy Yorkshire puddings that rise tall and have a crisp shell.
Shortbread Cookies
If life has taught us anything, it’s that you can always rely on a grandma’s recipe. Case in point: this shortbread recipe, courtesy of Genevieve’s grandmother-in-law. It’s rich, buttery, tender, and crumbly all at once.
Philly Cheesesteaks
Not a day goes by where our few Philly-born staff members don’t drop a “Go Birds” into one (or several) Slack conversations, along with their very strong opinions on what makes a great Philly cheesesteak.
Zesty Lemon Vinaigrette
If you don’t like salad, it’s because you’re eating it wrong. This creamy, lemony vinaigrette will brighten up any leafy green, and it takes just five minutes to make.
The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger
The burger that needs no introduction!
Real French Onion Dip
The best French onion dip will give you onion breath. We think this one fits the bill, but try it and see for yourself!
Lemon Ricotta Cake
Cake for breakfast? Always. This subtly sweet cake is bright with citrus and rich from ricotta.
15-Minute Creamy Tomato Soup (Vegan)
Turns out creamy and vegan can be used in the same sentence, and we have an emulsion of olive oil and bread to thank for that!
