For people who are looking to discover some new favorite recipes, this is a very useful list of our most popular recipes! Each recipe is tried and true, tested and reviewed by hundreds of readers.

I almost made this a top 10 list but I expanded it to 15 to give you more ideas to feed your hungry families. These are the recipes we make over and over. With over 800 recipes on our blog, this list is GOLD!

Watch our Top 5 MEGA VIRAL Facebook Videos:

How We Determined the Most Popular Recipes:

• The recipes with the most visitors (based on google analytics)
• Most viral recipes on Facebook (18 to 64 million views)
• Highest star ratings from readers (see ratings below)

What surprised me was 12 out of the 15 were video recipes which tells me what you all want. Going into 2018, video will continue to be a big focus for us as we grow our YouTube cooking channel (click to subscribe and click on the BELL icon to get updates).
