Jam and oatmeal squares with raspberry jam between a buttery oat-walnut base and a crumbly golden topping. A simple bake-sale bar cookie with just eight ingredients.

A slow-braised Swedish beef chuck roast with an unexpected twist: anchovies, whiskey, vinegar, and brown sugar build a deeply savory pan sauce. Fork-tender after 2 hours. Add cream to the pan juices for a silky gravy.

Graham cracker cookies layer buttery crumbs, walnuts, chocolate chips, and flaked coconut, then bake with a brown sugar and evaporated milk drizzle. No mixing required. Also called magic bars or seven layer bars.

Deep-dish apple pie with a single top crust hiding a heap of brown sugar and cinnamon-spiced apples. Old-fashioned simplicity served with cream or hard sauce, just the way grandmother made it.

Vegan brown rice and wheat berries cooked together in one pot with sauteed scallions. A chewy, nutty whole grain side dish with hearty texture from the wheat berries.

Loaf leavened with yeast. Requires a bread machine. Here's one of my favorite breads to make. The trick here is to use stone ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety. It gives the bread a great flavor, and a really nice coarse texture. The combination of ingredients give it a very different flavor than standard banana/nut or pan-baked corn bread.

Orange pecan crisps made with crescent roll dough, brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest. Flaky, caramelized, and ready in 30 minutes flat.

Impossible fudgy nut pie that makes its own crust as it bakes. Melted sweet chocolate, brown sugar, and biscuit mix blended smooth then topped with chopped nuts.

Creamy peanut butter fudge made in just 15 minutes with brown sugar, marshmallows, and vanilla. No candy thermometer stress, just smooth, melt-in-your-mouth squares.

Stovetop sweet and sour meatballs glazed in tangy pineapple sauce with crisp-tender green peppers in just 40 minutes.

Quick cinnamon rolls using refrigerated biscuit dough filled with brown sugar, raisins, and cinnamon. Ready in 40 minutes with simple powdered sugar glaze.

A quick Chinese-style stir-fry with thin-sliced round steak and crisp green beans in a savory brown gravy with soy sauce and ginger. On the table in 45 minutes, served over hot rice.

Frozen hash browns baked in a cream of celery and cream cheese sauce with onions, topped with melted sharp American cheese. Six ingredients, hands-off baking, total crowd-pleaser.

Tennessee BBQ sauce with ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and celery seeds simmered until thick. A tangy, sweet Southern barbecue sauce ready in 20 minutes.

These German Puff Pancakes rise to the occasion! Baked in the oven, they can also be known as Dutch Babies, but baked in individual dishes they are an impressive meal. The apples are prepared on the stove separately and added after the pancakes are baked. An especially nice aroma in the morning is derived from apples, cinnamon and nutmeg.
