Better Homes & Gardens Copycat Recipes brings you dozens of remakes on faves from restaurants like Starbucks, Olive Garden, Panera, Chick-fil-A, Five Guys, Outback Steakhouse, Culver’s, Crumbl Cookies, and even Chipotle. And when you’re in the mood for store-bought remakes, we have copycat recipes for all your favorite off-the-shelf snack foods (think Oreos, Twinkies, and Ding Dongs) and even homemade better-than-boxed versions of Hamburger Helper. Whatever you’re in the mood for, we have a way to make it better and make it at home.

Outside the Box • THERE’S A TASTIER WAY TO “HELP YOUR HAMBURGER” BECOME A CHEESY ONE-DISH DINNER, AND THE SECRET IS … START FROM SCRATCH! CHOOSE FROM STOVE-TOP OR PRESSURE-COOKER DIRECTIONS, THEN SPIN THE CLASSIC COMBO OF GROUND BEEF AND PASTA FIVE WAYS.
