Our 20 Most Popular Recipes in February

French Breakfast Puffs

What makes these morning muffins stand apart is the final step after baking when you moisten the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Reviewer Lydia Misiura says, "I added a dash of vanilla to the wet mixture and used full-fat butter; this is a "French recipe after all". I spooned the butter on top instead of dipping because they were so tender they started falling apart."

Sunday Brunch Casserole

Breakfast casseroles continue to be popular for their easy prep and easy serve convenience. This hearty bake can be assembled the night before and finished in the oven while everyone's getting ready for the day. Even better, it provides a solid base for infinite variations: Home cook patt says she would customize hers with a can of green chilis, a dash of hot sauce, and some sour cream.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

Dakota Kelly shared this winner and says, "This is a great recipe that I found in my Grandma's recipe book. Judging from the weathered look of this recipe card, this was a family favorite." And over the years, it's become one of our all-time most popular recipes. Reviewer Andrew Hacksaw adds, "5 stars all the way! I'm an 18-year-old kid and I've never made pancakes in my life! I was able to use this recipe to make a Valentine breakfast for my family!"

3-Cheese Enchiladas

The comfort food dinners our community loved the most this month combined one-dish convenience with creamy, cheesy goodness — a winning formula found in these easy enchiladas. Reviewers added their own twists to the fillings, and some used corn tortillas instead of flour.

Emily's Excellent Taco Casserole

This pantry meal comes together quickly and can be on the table in about 35 minutes. "This is a super speedy dinner I like to make when it is getting late and I haven't cooked yet. Chili, corn chips and cheese are topped with lettuce and tomato. Spice it up with your favorite salsa," says recipe creator By Your Mom.

Chicken Chimichangas with Sour Cream Sauce

Creamy recipes trended this month, and we're here for all that comfy cozy goodness. Got leftover chicken? Spice it up, stuff it into flour tortillas along with onion, chiles, and cheese, give it a bit of a fry, and top with sour cream sauce.

Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole

You can keep everything you need for this satisfying casserole in your pantry and freezer, and it's ready in about 45 minutes (most of that is hands-off baking time). TheDivineMrs.M says, "I had canned chicken, so I looked for a recipe to use it and made this one since I pretty much had all the other ingredients on hand, too. The recipe was so good, I made it twice in one week."

Roasted Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Caramelized cauliflower stand in for the "mac" while a creamy blend of cheeses and half-and-half go into the sauce so carb-watchers and gluten-free eaters can enjoy mac and cheese, too.

Scallops Mascarpone

On the other end of the dinner spectrum this month are the special occasion dishes to celebrate Valentine's Day. For this gorgeous dish, easy-to-cook scallops team up with mushrooms, asparagus, and mascarpone cheese in a pasta entrée you'd have to pay big bucks for in a fancy restaurant. (And it's ready in 35 minutes!)

Manhattan Filet with Pan Sauce Bordelaise

Perfect Chicken

Recipe submitter Faith says, "Chicken stock, wine, onions, garlic, mushroom, cream, butter, herbs, lemon, and capers reduce to make a perfect sauce. Served alongside mushroom rice and asparagus; it is HEAVEN! Patience is key with the sauce. The flavors will come together beautifully if you allow them to reduce as directed."

Baked Pork Chops I

Pork chops are breaded and fried, and then baked in a creamy mushroom sauce for a splendid Sunday supper or special-occasion meal. "I made this as the recipe was written. Meat practically fell off the bone," says home cook John A. Kierstead

Greek Lemon and Chicken Soup (Avgolemono)

Chef John's Minestrone Soup

This is the kind of soup you hope to dip into at the end of a winter's day. And thanks to our own Chef John, you can. Note, he says he never makes it the same way twice, which certainly gives you permission to tweak it at will.

Coconut Sour Cream Cake

Your love of all things creamy this month apparently extends to desserts, too. "Awesome cake!" says Amy. "Was a big hit. Used coconut extract instead of almond and left everything else the same."

Million Dollar Cake

Recipe creator Glenda describes this as "a cake made from yellow cake mix frosted with a cream cheese, mandarin orange, and pineapple mixture." MsUn PC adds, "I made this for my mom's birthday. She absolutely LOVED it! My aunt tried it and loved it too I love scratch made food but the boxed butter cake mix is impossible to replicate at home. It's so moist tender and delicious."
