Apple Pie Pork Loin (Slow Cooker Recipe)

Meaghan — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 11:15:30 +0000

Slow cooker apple pie pork loin gives you sweet and savory, juicy roast pork with only 5 ingredients added to the meat. With the slow cooker and a handy shortcut ingredient doing the heavy lifting, it’s an easy dinner that feels special enough for company but is simple enough to make on the busiest of days.

Bet you’d never think about adding a can of apple pie filling to pork loin, would you?

Well, that’s exactly what this slow cooker apple pie pork loin is.

Apple pie filling and pork loin.

Hear me out because it is a beautifully tasty combination of flavors.

There’s something about the combination of pork and apples that just works.

And the apple pie filling is already sweetened and seasoned with those cozy warming notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

It’s not overpowering, especially when you add a hint of tangy mustard and the earthy, salty flavor of Worcestershire sauce.

The result is this sweet, savory combination kind of like honey mustard but with a decidedly cozy fall spin.

Serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, green beans, or a simple salad to round out the meal, and don’t forget to spoon some of those sweet, flavorful apples over the pork before serving.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Pork loin– Look for one that is about 3 pounds.
Onion– A large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced.
Apple pie filling– A 21 ounce can.
Mustard– Yellow mustard.
Worcestershire sauce– For that salty umami flavor.
Sugar– Brown.

How to Make

This slow cooker apple pie pork loin is so easy!

Just spread the sliced onions out in an even layer in the bowl of a slow cooker.

Put the pork loin in the center of the slow cooker bowl so it rests directly on top of the onions.

Stir the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl until they are evenly combined.

Pour the apple mixture overtop of the pork loin to cover.

Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours or until the pork is 145° and very tender.

Carefully transfer the hot to a cutting board and cut it into thin slices.

Serve the pork warm with some of the apple and onion mixture spooned overtop.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in the covered bowl of your slow cooker or an air tight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Reheat it in the slow cooker or oven until the pork is hot all the way through.

Freezing

To freeze this, let the pork cool and cut it.

Transfer the cut pork into freezer safe ziplocking bags.

Freeze the pork for up to 3 months.

Defrost the pork overnight in the fridge before warming until the pork is hot throughout.

Tips and Tricks

Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed white rice to make it a meal. It also pairs well with egg noodles and crusty bread or rolls.
Let the pork rest for 3 to 5 minutes after you pull it out of the slow cooker before you slice it to keep it juicy and tender.
Slice the pork against the grain. Cutting the pork into thin slices against the grain makes each bite more tender and easier to eat.

Pancake Puppies (Denny’s Copycat)

Meaghan — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 11:15:23 +0000

Copycat Denny’s Pancake Puppies are bite sized balls of sweet, fluffy pancake batter fried until golden, coated in cinnamon sugar, and served with your favorite syrup or sauce for dipping. It’s the perfect recipe to satisfy the craving for the restaurant favorite without leaving the house.

There are some restaurant breakfasts that are just more fun than your average stack of pancakes, and Copycat Denny’s Pancake Puppies definitely fall into that category.

They are the glorious mash up of breakfast pancakes and Southern hush puppies, which are deep fried cornbread balls that are crispy on the outside and like soft little pockets of love on the inside.

Denny’s Pancake Puppies take that hush puppy texture and just use pancake batter instead of cornbread batter.

You get little pieces of crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside pancake ball goodness that are perfect for dunking and snacking.

They taste like a cross between a classic pancake and a cinnamon sugar churro.

And they are a fun way to switch up our usual breakfast routine for brunches, sleepovers, or holiday breakfasts.

Serve them with homemade vanilla glaze for dipping and they will be gone in a flash!

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Oil– For frying
Pancake mix– Like Bisquick or your favorite homemade pancake mix
Sugar– Granulated
Cinnamon
Eggs
Milk– Whole milk is best.
Butter– Melted.
Cinnamon Sugar– To roll the fried Pancake Puppies in.
Dipping Sauce Ingredients– Powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla

How to Make

Copycat Denny’s Pancake Puppies are pretty easy to make!

Just preheat at least 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy bottom pot to 350° F.

While the oil comes to temperature whisk together the pancake mix, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Then whisk in the eggs, milk and melted butter until a thick batter forms.

Carefully drop dollops or batter that are roughly a heaping tablespoon into the hot oil and fry them for 4-5 minutes, flipping once for even browning.

Repeat, in batches, until you’ve used all the batter.

Carefully scoop the Pancake Puppies out of the hot oil using a slotted spoon or a spider spatula.

Then roll them in the cinnamon sugar and then place the coated puppies onto a wire rack to cool.

While they cool, make the dipping sauce by whisking together the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla in a small bowl until it’s smooth.

Serve with the vanilla sauce and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Let them cool completely before storing so they don’t get soggy.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes or warm them in the oven until heated through.

Tips and Tricks

Use a cooking thermometer to accurately heat the oil.
Don’t overcrowd the oil. If you fry too many at once, they will not cook evenly and the temperature will lower.
Rolling them in the cinnamon sugar while they are warm helps the coating stick.
The dipping sauce is optional. You could serve them with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce if you prefer.

Witch Finger Hot Dogs

Meaghan — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 11:15:58 +0000

Witch finger hot dogs are a spooktacular Halloween meal that magically gives ordinary hot dogs a creepy makeover. This quick and easy upgrade makes for a fun Halloween dinner or party food that kids will love.

Halloween is one of those holidays where I love having a little spooky fun.

These witch finger hot dogs are about as fun as it gets.

With just a few simple tricks, ordinary hot dogs turn into creepy looking witch fingers before you can even say, “Hocus Pocus!”

They’re especially fun because they don’t require complicated ingredients or fancy cooking skills, just a little cutting and some ketchup blood.

This makes them perfect for trick or treat night, Halloween parties, or any other haunted happenings all spooky season long.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Hot dogs– Use your preferred brand of hot dogs but keep in mind that large hotdogs will show the details better making for a spookier presentation.
Ketchup
Hot dog buns

How to Make

Making witch finger hot dogs is scarily easy!

Just use a sharp pairing knife to carefully cut a finger nail shape into the top of each hot dog.

Where the finger nail shape is, carefully peel off the outer layer of the cut part of the hot dog to show the nail bed.

Then right under the nail bed area, make three short, shallow cuts to create a finger joint.

In the center of the hot dog under the finger joint, cut shallow lines (1 semi circle facing down, then two straight lines, then another semi circle facing up to finish) to make the knuckle.

Repeat these steps until you’ve cut all the hot dogs to look like fingers.

Boil the hot dogs per the package instructions, then drain them completely.

Once they are boiled and drained, pan fry the hot dogs until they are golden brown on all sides.

Dip a hotdog into ketchup to bloody the finger.

Add it to a bun.

Repeat this for all the hot dogs.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

I don’t recommend storing dipped, assembled witch finger hot dogs as they will get soggy in the fridge.

However, if you think you will have extra, set aside any of the undipped but cut and cooked hot dogs.

Either wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container.

Refrigerate them for up to 4 days.

Reheat them in the microwave before dipping in ketchup and serving on a bun.

Tips and Tricks

When cutting out the ‘finger nail’ shape, you can use your own nails for a visual reference on shape.
The beauty of these is it doesn’t matter if they are cut perfectly. Witch fingers are gnarled and sort of misshapen so any way you cut them will work for the aesthetic.
If the kids are helping, have them use a butter knife or a child-safe nylon or plastic knife for safety.

Other Halloween Recipes

Witch finger hot dogs are a spellbinding Halloween entree.

Make them and be bewitched by the spooky fun!

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread (Quick And Easy)

Meaghan — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 11:15:31 +0000

Give your favorite breakfast staples a delicious Fall finish with this homemade pumpkin cream cheese spread. It’s quick and easy to whip up, only uses a handful of pantry staples, and tastes incredible. Schmear it on bagels or toast, stir it into hot oatmeal, or even spread it over freshly baked cinnamon rolls- there’s no wrong way to enjoy this pumpkin cream cheese spread!

Fall is almost here, and that means pumpkin spice ‘all the things’ are coming too.

If pumpkin flavor and pumpkin pie spice aren’t your thing, then I apologize in advance. I, however, subscribe to them all.

Most people seem to associate the classic Fall flavor combination with coffee and dessert, and only those two things.

I’m here today to introduce you to my new breakfast obsession, this pumpkin cream cheese spread.

A whipped cream cheese base is infused with pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and finished with a hint of pumpkin pie spice.

It’s a super simple recipe that comes together in under 10 minutes, and will infuse a boring grab and go breakfast with seasonal flavor.

Mornings will be more delicious, and also a little more magical, with a schmear of this easy pumpkin cream cheese spread on your bagel or toast!

Ingredients Needed

Like all of our favorite recipes, this pumpkin cream cheese spread only requires a handful or simple ingredients to come together.

To make it you’ll need:

Cream Cheese – 8 ounces cream cheese, softened. You can substitute Neufchatel is you’re looking for the same flavor, but with less calories.
Pumpkin – Canned pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. While I tend to use the store bought variety if I’m in a hurry, you can also use our homemade version.
Sugar – Brown sugar. You can use either light or dark, depending on what you have on hand and personal preference.
Vanilla – Vanilla extract- either the real stuff or the imitation variety.
Spices – A blend of ground cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.

Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients you’re ready to whip up a batch!

How To Make

Making this flavored cream cheese spread is both quick and easy.

Start by adding all of the ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer blend everything together until evenly incorporated, smooth, and extra creamy.

That’s it, your homemade pumpkin cream cheese spread is ready to enjoy.

You can use it immediately, or cover and chill for 1-2 hours first- if you prefer it on the colder side.

Serving Suggestions

Looking for ideas for how to use this easy cream cheese spread with pumpkin?

Here’s some of our favorite things to pair it with:

Warm Toast
Pancakes
Bagels
Graham Crackers – Spread over as a snack, or simple dessert
Waffles
Sliced Apples – As a dip
Oatmeal – Stirred into a bowl of warm oatmeal
Cinnamon Rolls – Use this to spread overtop freshly baked rolls in place of the cream cheese icing they come with.

Pair it with one, or more, of these ideas or experiment and discover new ways to enjoy this simple seasonal spread.

Storing

Extra cream cheese spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

You can also just make a batch on the weekend to store it so you can enjoy it all week long!

Tips & Tricks

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature beforehand. Cold cream cheese is very firm and doesn’t mix well which will leave you with chunks of cream cheese that don’t properly blend with the other ingredients.
This spread uses pumpkin puree. Don’t confuse that with pumpkin pie filling, which is easy to do since they’re in similarly colored cans, often right next to each other on store shelves.
Not a fan of pumpkin pie spice? That’s ok, you can just leave it out!
You can use either light or brown sugar in this recipe, whichever you happen to have on hand or to personal preference- both will work.
While I tend to use real vanilla extract, it can be pricey. Imitation vanilla extract will taste great too, and nobody will ever be able to tell the difference since it’s not the dominant flavor.

Other Easy Flavored Cream Cheese Spread Recipes

This easy pumpkin flavored cream cheese spread is simple to whip up, and the perfect way to add delicious Fall flavor into every bite of your favorite breakfast treats.

Skip the store bought variety, whip up a batch today, and enjoy a treat that takes minutes to prepare where you control the ingredients!

Spicy Chicken Nuggets (Wendy’s Copycat)

Meaghan — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:15:49 +0000

Copycat Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets are crispy, juicy chicken nuggets coated in a flavorful blend of spices with just the right amount of heat. They’re easy to make at home and perfect for satisfying a fast food craving without hitting the drive thru.

There are some fast food favorites that I know my family will never turn down, and Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets are definitely one of them.

That crispy coating, tender chicken, and little kick of heat make them seriously hard to resist.

After all, who doesn’t love a good spicy nugget?

Making them at home means you can enjoy that same Wendy’s spicy chicken nugget goodness whenever the craving hits.

And you can make as many as you need to feed the whole family for far less than the cost of getting enough nuggets from the drive thru.

They have that same signature kick without being so spicy it totally overwhelms the chicken, making the perfect entree for dinner or even a great game day snack everyone will love.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Ground chicken– I recommend using standard ground chicken and not ground chicken breast as the nuggets will be juicier. You could also use ground turkey.
Spices– Salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
Milk– To add moisture and help tenderize the chicken. For a richer flavor, substitute buttermilk.
Egg– For binding the chicken nuggets.
Flour– All purpose.
Breadcrumbs– Plain. Either Italian or panko. For more crunch, use crushed cornflakes instead.
Vegetable oil– For frying.

How to Make

These copycat Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets are pretty easy to make.

Just mix the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, and milk together in a bowl with clean hands until everything is evenly mixed together.

Shape mixture into small nugget-sized pieces.

Set the un-breaded nuggets aside.

Then, in a shallow bowl, mix the flour, breadcrumbs, chili powder and some of the black pepper together.

Coat each nugget evenly in the breading mixture, pressing the seasoning in lightly so it sticks.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F.

Fry nuggets in batches for 3–4 minutes per side or until the chicken nuggets are golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel lined plate so they can drain while you cook the rest of the nuggets.

Serve them hot and enjoy!

Baking and Air Frying Instructions

Bake the chicken nuggets at 425°F for 15–18 minutes or air fry them at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway for a lighter version.

Serving Suggestions

I love serving these with sides like fries or mac and cheese for any easy fast food style dinner.

They are also super yummy served over a simple salad.

Storing

Store any leftover chicken nuggets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer until they are warmed through for best crispiness.

You can also freeze the nuggets by transferring the cooked, cooled nuggets to freezer safe bags and freezing for up to 2 months.

Let the nuggets defrost in the fridge prior to reheating them in the air fryer or oven.

Tips and Tricks

Mixing the seasoning directly into the chicken makes sure the chicken is flavorful throughout and not just on the coating.
Try to keep the nuggets the same size so they cook evenly.
Let the breaded nuggets rest for a few minutes prior to frying to help the coating stick.
Make sure to not overcrowd the pan so the oil doesn’t drop in temperature.
For extra spicy nuggets, mix some hot sauce directly into the chicken mixture.
Coating the nuggets in a drizzle of hot honey or buffalo sauce will give you a yummy, saucy version.

Shape mixture into small nugget-sized pieces and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, chili powder and pepper.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup plain breadcrumbs, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
Coat each nugget evenly in the breading mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres.
Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F.
Vegetable oil
Fry nuggets in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.

Notes

Mixing the seasoning directly into the chicken makes sure the chicken is flavorful throughout and not just on the coating.
Try to keep the nuggets the same size so they cook evenly.
Let the breaded nuggets rest for a few minutes prior to frying to help the coating stick.
Make sure to not overcrowd the pan so the oil doesn't drop in temperature.
For extra spicy nuggets, mix some hot sauce directly into the chicken mixture.
Coating the nuggets in a drizzle of hot honey or buffalo sauce will give you a yummy, saucy version.

S’mores French Toast Bake

Meaghan — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 11:15:36 +0000

S’mores French toast bake is a mash up of soft, custardy French toast with gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers for a breakfast that tastes like your favorite campfire treat. This indulgent breakfast casserole bakes in one dish, making it perfect for everything from holiday brunches to slow weekend mornings.

Mornings are not my favorite.

But you know what is my favorite?

Chocolate.

And marshmallows.

Oh, and a good breakfast casserole that comes together from prep to serving in about 35 minutes and adds in chocolate and marshmallows.

This s’mores French toast bake takes everything we love about s’mores and pairs it with decadent French toast.

The bread soaks up a sweet, creamy custard before baking until tender, while the marshmallows get gooey and golden, the chocolate melts into all those delicious layers, and the graham crackers add just the right amount of crunch.

It’s rich and sweet with plenty of chocolate and marshmallow flavor, but that familiar graham cracker taste makes every bite instantly remind you of sitting around a campfire.

This casserole is the sweetest way to turn an ordinary morning into some extraordinary or add a decadent treat to a holiday brunch.

Whenever you make it , it’s guaranteed to get everyone running to the table!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Bread– A slightly stale 12 ounce loaf of French bread, cut into 1 inch pieces.
Eggs
Milk– Chocolate milk. You can use the premade chocolate milk sold in the grocery stores or make your own with chocolate syrup and milk.
Sugar– Granulated.
Vanilla extract– Real is best.
Chocolate chips– Either semi sweet or milk chocolate.
Marshmallows– Mini marshmallow.
Graham crackers– Crushed.
Powdered sugar– Optional for serving.

How to Make

Making this decadent s’mores French toast bake is so easy!

Just whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.

Stir the bread cubes, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup of marshmallows, and the crushed graham crackers to the bowl until everything is coated in the custard mixture.

Set the bowl aside and let the mixture rest for 20 minutes.

Spread the bread mixture out in an even layer into a 2 quart, or 9×9″, baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray.

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips, marshmallows, and some extra graham cracker pieces over the casserole.

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, until the center is set and the bake golden brown on top.

Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Dust the casserole with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in the fridge either tightly wrapped in the casserole dish or transfer them into an airtight container.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave or put the remainder of the casserole in a hot oven until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

If you don’t want to use chocolate milk, that’s ok. This will work with regular milk. It will just be a little less chocolatey.
You can use an equal amount of Italian style bakery bread or another similar style bread in this.
Day old bread is best since it will hold up better.
Put it together the night before to save time and cover the unbaked casserole. Put in the fridge until you are ready to bake it in the morning.

Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu

Meaghan — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:15:31 +0000

Slow cooker chicken cordon bleu is an easy, comforting dinner that combines tender chicken, savory ham, melty Swiss cheese, and a rich creamy sauce. This meal is perfect for busy nights since it couldn’t be easier to make thanks to the slow cooker and three shortcut ingredients!

Chicken cordon bleu is a popular dish where thin chicken breasts rolled around Swiss cheese and ham filling get breaded, fried and slathered in cream sauce.

In French, the name roughly means “blue ribbon chicken.”

So no wonder it feels fancy and traditional versions are more than I want to tackle on a weeknight.

That’s where this slow cooker version comes in, because you get all those classic flavors without having to bread, fry, or stand over the stove.

And it still tastes like chicken that would win a blue ribbon!

The slow cooker version adds a layer of stuffing to the mix for a complete dinner.

Plus it makes the chicken super tender and you get layers of savory ham and melty Swiss cheese and rich, creamy sauce.

The result is a perfect bite with much less effort.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Condensed soup– 2 10.5 ounce cans. I suggest one of cream of celery soup and one of cream of chicken. But you can mix and match the condensed soup based on what you have on hand and like. Any combination of cream of chicken, cream of celery, cream of mushroom, and/or cream of broccoli would all be delicious.
Milk– Whole milk will give you the richest results.
Salt and pepper– To taste
Chicken– Boneless, skinless breasts, trimmed of fat.
Ham– Sliced deli ham.
Swiss cheese– Sliced.
Stuffing mix– A 6 ounce box of boxed chicken stuffing mix.
Butter– Melted

How to Make

This slow cooker chicken cordon bleu is so easy to make!

Just whisk together both soups, milk, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl until everything is evenly combined.

Spread out just enough of the soup mixture into the bowl of your slow cooker so it covers the bottom.

Add the chicken to the slow cooker, then top it with a layer of the sliced ham followed by the sliced Swiss cheese.

Pour the rest of the soup mixture evenly out overtop of the prepared chicken.

Top the soup layer with the stuffing mix spread evenly out overtop.

Pour the melted butter evenly out overtop the stuffing mix.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or HIGH for 4.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Let the chicken cordon bleu cool first.

Store the leftovers in the fridge in the covered bowl of your slow cooker or in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Reheat either in the slow cooker until warmed through or in the microwave until warm.

Tips and Tricks

Don’t use too much salt. There is salt in the soup, stuffing, and ham.
The sauce will thicken as it cools. It may thicken a lot in the fridge. If you find it has thickened too much in the fridge, thin it with a little milk.
You don’t need a side dish with it since you are using stuffing mix in the dish but it does pair nicely with any steamed veggie or good rolls for enjoying every last bit of the sauce.

Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies (Subway Copycat)

Meaghan — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:15:04 +0000

Copycat Subway raspberry cheesecake cookies are the soft, chewy cookies packed with creamy cheesecake flavor and tart raspberry pieces you know and love right at home. They are an easy homemade treat when you’re craving the classic Subway favorite without having to make a trip for a cookie.

Be honest.

Do you go to Subway for the sandwiches or are you like me and go mainly for the cookies?

There’s no shame in my game.

Copycat Subway’s raspberry cheesecake cookies are definitely one Subway cookie I crave.

These cookies put rich cheesecake and sweet raspberries, in one soft, chewy cookie that’s incredibly hard to resist.

The edges have just enough golden crispness while the centers stay tender and buttery, with little bursts of raspberry and creamy cheesecake flavor throughout.

They shake up any holiday cookie tray and are absolutely special enough for a party.

And thanks to a box of cake mix, they are easy enough to make any day for a sweet treat.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Cake mix– A 15 ounce box of vanilla cake mix.
Vanilla extract– Real tastes best.
Egg– Let it come to room temperature.
Butter– Unsalted butter softened to room temperature.
Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature.
White chocolate chips– Use a good quality chip.
Freeze dried raspberries– They are often in the specialty fruit and nut area near the produce department, the baking aisle near the specialty products, or by the kids’ snack aisle.

How to Make

These copycat Subway raspberry cheesecake cookies are very easy to make.

Just preheat the oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Set the parchment lined baking sheet aside while you make the dough.

Combine the cake mix, vanilla, egg, butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl using a hand mixer.

Once it’s just combined, fold in the white chocolate and the raspberries using your hands until everything is combined.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop about 1 1/2 inch balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.

Press down on the top of each cookie gently using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a flat glass.

Put it in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.

Once the cookies are done, take them out of the oven and let them sit for another 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

Storing

Store these cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days.

Tips and Tricks

When you are mixing the cookie dough with your hands, you will break some raspberries and that’s ok. Just try to not break too many.
You can push more white chocolate chips and raspberries into the tops of each cookie.
Don’t skip the cooling time. The cookies need the time to set.
Feel free to substitute freeze dried strawberries instead for a strawberry cheesecake cookie.

Arby’s Beef N Cheddar Sloppy Joes

Meaghan — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 11:15:56 +0000

These Arby’s Beef N Cheddar sloppy joes are a fun copycat mashup of the fast food favorite and easy dinner classic. They’re quick, hearty, and packed with the flavor of Arby’s sandwich in an easy weeknight dinner at home.

Listen, I could hit the Arby’s drive thru pretty much every day of the week.

But my wallet thinks that’s a terrible idea.

And that’s where a good copycat recipe like these Arby’s Beef N Cheddar sloppy joes comes in.

It turns a favorite fast food sandwich into something easy enough to make at home and gives everything I love about Arby’s classic sandwich a fun, family-friendly sloppy joe twist.

The seasoned ground beef cooks up in a rich, savory sauce before getting piled onto soft buns with plenty of melted cheddar and that signature sweet-tangy red sauce.

And they are ready in 30 minutes flat so you can get dinner on the table and get straight to digging in!

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Ground beef– Go for leaner ground beef so the meat doesn’t cook down too much or get too greasy.
Seasonings– Minced onion and Worcestershire sauce
Sugar– Brown
Arby’s sauce– You can buy this in the condiment aisle in most major grocers.
Cheddar cheese sauce– The kind in a can.
Buns– For the most authenticity, use onion hamburger buns.

How to Make

These Arby’s Beef N Cheddar sloppy joes are a snap to make!

Just cook the beef, crumbling as it cooks, in a large skillet over medium heat until it is completely brown.

Strain off all the excess grease and then return the meat back to the pan.

Then stir in the dried onion, Worcestershire sauce, brown sauce, and Arby’s sauce to the beef.

Let the mixture come to a simmer for 10 minutes or just until it thickens, stirring often.

Take the skillet off the heat.

Divide the meat between the 4 buns, topping the meat with cheese sauce before closing the sandwich with the top bun.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

I don’t recommend storing the assembled sandwiches as the buns will get incredibly soggy.

However, you can store the cooked beef in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Store any unused, opened cheese sauce in its own airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat the beef in the microwave until hot and the cheese in the microwave until just warm.

Tips and Tricks

Serve these with frozen curly fries to really satisfy an Arby’s craving.
I like serving extra cheese sauce on the side for dipping the sandwiches into.
Make sure to stir the beef mixture after you add the onions, sauces, and sugars. Stirring will help keep the beef from burning.
