Explore our 30 most popular recipes of this year, including some all-time favorites and some unique 2024 results.
It’s been a busy year.
In 2024, our fall recipes seemed to dominate — especially a couple associated with Thanksgiving. But a few perennial favorites on Food Fanatic couldn’t be knocked out of the top slots!
Reading this list of our 30 most popular recipes this year, you’ll notice a couple of trends. Comfort foods, for sure. And only a few drinks or salads. Yet two Salisbury steak recipes appear (including at the very top), as well as some Tex-Mex ideas, two macaroni and cheese recipes, and a handful of desserts.
One of these even made the cut after inexplicably being posted to a forum for people fond of their Second Amendment rights (it ranked #22, if you’re curious).
So if you’re in the mood for an easy-yet-tasty casserole dish or just feel nosy and want to know what other people have been cooking this year, dive into our most popular recipes below!
