Cincinnati Chili & Coneys
A perennial favorite made every Super Bowl since 1993. My traditional method takes about 3 hours. I have found that you can shorten the time significantly by using a pressure cooker! Only 15 minutes of cook time.

Smash Burgers
So simple, it's embarrassing. I use USDA Prime ground beef from Sams Club, separated into 2oz squares or cubes. Smash them with a saucepan with the bottom covered in foil, heavy bacon press, or a large burger press straight down on the meat to ensure that it spreads and sticks uniformly to the skillet or griddle (instead of shrinking as it cooked), which guarantees deep browning and crispy edges. Sandwiching an ultramelty slice of Kraft American cheese between the two patties helped the cheese melt thoroughly and seep into the meat almost like a rich, salty cheese sauce would. Lettuce and thinly sliced tomato provided freshness and acidity and the soft potato bun offered tenderness.

Sloppy Joes
We wanted to develop a recipe for Sloppy Joes with a more balanced, less sweet flavor. Cooking the ground beef until just pink—not browned—before adding the sauce ensures the meat stays tender. Combining tomato puree and ketchup yields a sufficiently sweet, rich tomato base. Flavoring the filling with garlic, chili powder, and hot pepper sauce gives the Sloppy Joes some heat to balance the sweetness.
