Hamburger stew is a recipe that thrifty families have been making for years. The stew serves as an ingenious solution when looking for an inexpensive, delicious and nourishing meal—and with 16 servings, there will be enough left over to use as a make-ahead freezer meal down the road.
There’s another reason this hamburger stew recipe is a favorite: It’s incredibly easy to customize. Use different vegetables, add spices, make it with pasta instead of rice, or throw in a packet of onion soup mix for extra flavor. Everyone has a way they like to make this recipe their own, and they tend to pass their versions on to family and friends. That’s why some readers have renamed this “suggestion stew!”
Hamburger Stew Ingredients
Ground beef:Browning the meat is the first step to making hamburger stew. If possible, choose lean ground beef.
Onion: Fresh yellow onions work nicely in hamburger stew. Frozen, chopped onions also work to save a little time.
Stewed tomatoes: You can use store-bought, canned stewed tomatoes, or your own preserved garden tomatoes if you have them. Store-bought stewed tomatoes have added spices, vegetable extracts and sugar—so if you don’t want these extra ingredients, use canned whole tomatoes and break them up with a wooden spoon.
Vegetables: We chose carrots, celery and potatoes, but you can add a medley of vegetables to the pot. Slice or dice everything to the same size, so that the veggie bits will cook through at the same rate.
Long grain rice: Jasmine and basmati are some of the long-grain types of rice you can use to make hamburger stew. Brown rice can also be used; just increase the covered simmering time to 45 minutes. Skip minute or instant rice, since these will get too mushy as the stew cooks.
A snickerdoodle warm from the oven is like a comforting hug in cookie form. With its slightly tangy flavor; soft, chewy and tender texture; and sweet cinnamon coating, the cookie couldn’t be cozier. This snickerdoodle cake recipe takes everything you love about a snickerdoodle cookie and transforms it into a moist and delicious three-layer cake.
Each layer features a cinnamon-sugar swirl to re-create the sweet snickerdoodle flavor. To complement the cookie’s slightly tangy taste, a cream cheese frosting flavored with cinnamon and vanilla tops the cake. Whip up this recipe when you need a cake for a special occasion, whether it’s a birthday, a baby shower or to celebrate successfully making it through another week.
Ingredients for Snickerdoodle Cake
Butter: Softened butter adds a rich, buttery flavor to the cake.
Canola oil: Using a neutral cooking oil, such as canola, adds extra moisture to the cake.
Brown sugar: Brown sugar gets its signature flavor and color from the addition of molasses. You can use either light or dark brown sugar in this recipe, but dark brown sugar has a stronger molasses flavor.
Salt: A little bit of salt enhances the overall flavor of the cake.
Cinnamon swirl: Sugar and ground cinnamon are combined to swirl throughout the cake.
Cream cheese frosting: The cake gets covered in a tangy and sweet frosting made with cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and confectioners’ sugar.

For many families, rotisserie chickens are a grocery store staple that makes it easy to assemble well-rounded meals in a snap. That said, very few Americans have access to a rotisserie, a rotating roaster that bastes the meat in its own drippings as it turns.
To make a chicken with the same sticky skin and tenderness at home, we employ the help of a slow cooker. The long cooking time in the appliance’s steady warmth softens the meat to an almost silky texture. You won’t get the same crispy edges as a rotisserie chicken, but adding a robust seasoning blend both under the chicken skin and on top of it ensures a juicy roast with a great backbone of sweet and savory flavor. And don’t skip the carrots and onions slow-cooked in the chicken drippings until they’re meltingly tender—they’re the best!
Serve your slow-cooker rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and peas for a classic roast dinner, then shred the leftover chicken to make any number of other rotisserie chicken recipes.
Ingredients for Slow-Cooker Rotisserie Chicken
Seasoning blend: Besides carving the meat at the end, the most time-intensive part of this slow-cooker rotisserie chicken recipe is measuring out the elements of the sweet and savory spice blend. The mixture is a comprehensive blend that starts with a base of seasoned salt, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Paprika helps burnish the chicken an amber color, while the addition of brown sugar helps the chicken to brown. A little lemon-pepper seasoning balances the sweet and smoky flavors with a tart edge.
Chicken: The star of this recipe is, of course, a whole, bone-in chicken rubbed with spices and slow-cooked to juicy tenderness in the steady heat of a slow cooker. Aim to buy a broiler or fryer chicken that weighs about 4 pounds. Larger than that, and you may have trouble fitting the bird into the slow cooker without crowding it. Make sure to remove any giblets from the cavity of your chicken before adding it to the slow cooker.
Carrots and onions: Chopped vegetables line the bottom of the slow cooker and cook to nearly melting tenderness in the chicken drippings.
Cornstarch: Tossing the vegetables in a little cornstarch helps thicken the chicken drippings slightly into a velvety pouring texture.
