Chicken Under A Skillet We sandwich a spatchcocked chicken between two skillets to help more meat make contact with hot iron—leading to crispy skin and tender, juicy chicken. This bird is well-seasoned with our own Tennessee Smoke Sear Blend! Thin Crust Pizza We wanted to replicate the irresistible crispy, cracker-thin crust that dive-y pizza joints have perfected. Skillet Peach Cake Nothing says summer in the south quite like fresh peaches. Our July 2024 Recipe of the Month has layers of peaches baked into a tender cake, swirled with cinnamon-sugar and topped with a sugary crust. Combo Cooker Sourdough Loaf For June’s Recipe of the Month, we’re taking up a sourdough bread hobby. This recipe is for everyone, whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned pro. We’ll walk you through every step and help you make it work for your schedule, from making a sourdough starter to baking the perfect loaf. Diner-Style Smash Burgers You can sizzle these burgers inside or out—all you need is a big skillet and grill press! The best part? We pile onions on the skillet and smash the burgers on top for a dreamy, caramelized onion crust. Then, we slather it with a homemade roasted garlic aioli. Cornbread Sausage Balls We took the traditional Sausage Ball and added our homegrown Skillet Cornbread Mix for a savory, herby, and sausage-y appetizer that is reason enough to collect with our favorite folks. Shepherd's Pie Our March 2024 Recipe of the Month is a St. Patrick’s Day favorite that’s perfect for weeknight meals or dinner parties alike. When it comes time to serve this to your crew, don’t forget to pair it with a nice stout and some Irish soda bread. Classic Hot Wings Whether we’re having people over for game day or hosting a birthday party, we’ll take any excuse to fry a big batch of wings. Chicken Marsala For Chef Kris Stubblefield, our January 2024 Recipe of the Month is big on flavor, tradition, and great memories. Sunday Pot Roast Our December Recipe of the Month is a slow-cooked classic: Sunday Pot Roast. It’ll be the star of any holiday party, but it’s simple enough to keep on rotation throughout the winter. Stuffed Cornbread Dressing Our November 2023 Recipe of the Month features big fall-favorites like sage and apples, but adds cornbread for a stuffed-to-the-brim casserole pan of dressing. Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Pumpkin Sauce Our October Recipe of the Month is inspired by everyone’s favorite fall flavor/scent/philosophy: pumpkin spice. But it takes a savory turn. Harvest Apple Crisps For our September Recipe of the Month, we’re celebrating apple season with a sweet and comforting apple crisp that you’ll have on rotation all fall. Citrus Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Aioli This taco recipe starts with 1½ pounds of shrimp, seasoned with Sizzling Citrus and dressed with Southern twang (AKA Duke’s Mayo). Then, we top everything off with grilled avocado slices and a south-of-the-border-inspired aioli. Cornbread Panzanella & Peach Browned Butter For July's Recipe of the Month, we add cornbread and peaches to a traditional panzanella, then dress everything in a peach-infused brown butter. Grilled Ribeyes & Summer Vegetables Make this one-pan meal to celebrate all the big, fresh, grilled flavors of summer. Plus, this Recipe of the Month dinner gets bonus points for a weeknight-friendly shopping list. Sweet Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake We took our Recipe of the Month Strawberry Shortcake and made it a shareable, host-worthy favorite.

Goat Cheese Frittata This skillet frittata delivers on a lot of fronts: not only does it make a delicious brunch addition or a perfect dinnertime main, it’s packed full of ingredients that you can find at your local farmers market.
