These'll outlive us all.

From chicken tetrazzini to chicken pot pie and more, these old-fashioned recipes are always crowd-pleasers—and they've got the track records to prove it.

After reading through this list, you'll be looking for a reason to pull out your pie plate to whip up one of our best summer pies.

Step away from the skillet.

Homemade hospitality.

We've rounded up our favorite chicken casseroles to serve all season long. 

Truly our best-ever carrot cake recipe, make this classic favorite for a crowd and you might not have any leftovers to bring home. We even tested our recipe against the Queen of England's carrot cake, and the Southern version won by a landslide. For more flavor, try toasting the nuts and coconut before adding them to the batter. It's important to cool the cakes completely before frosting, otherwise the frosting will just melt right off. To expedite the cooling process, you can put the cakes on their wire racks in the freezer (don't worry, it's not cheating), checking until they're thoroughly cool. This is a cake you can bake for any occasion. We recommend this cake anytime from Easter to Christmas.
