The Most Popular Recipes of 2022

There’s definitely a theme to the most popular recipes of 2022 and you’ll note most of these dishes are.

  • Easy – low-fuss recipes that don’t skimp on flavor
  • Quick – you all loved shortcuts like the Air Fryer! We all appreciate getting dinner on the table fast.
  • Budget-friendly – inflation hit America’s pocketbooks this year so it’s not surprising that the top recipes were also affordable options. these recipes prove you don’t have to spend a fortune to eat well.
  • Traditional – many of you were making recipes that are old comfort foods like Sloppy Joes and Chili. Nostalgic recipes will never go out of style.
  • Family Friendly – I’m pretty sure all these recipes also land in the kid-friendly category (i.e. recipes that your kids will love and actually eat). That makes me so happy as one of our core values is happy and healthy families.
