Hearty Father's Day Recipes

Father’s Day calls for big flavor and easy cooking, and these favorites from The Feathered Nester bring all the backyard joy dads love. Smoked mac and cheese with bacon sets the tone with rich smoky comfort, while shredded BBQ chicken sliders make the perfect hands on meal for family gatherings. Add In n Out sauce (copycat recipe) to the table and suddenly every burger, slider, and fry becomes even more irresistible.

For hearty mains that keep Dad happy, this lineup delivers every time. Beef cube steak in Crock pot cooks into tender savory perfection, Crock Pot babyback ribs fall right off the bone with incredible flavor, and buttermilk pork chops bring juicy tenderness to any dinner plate. Pair any of these with Instant Pot mashed potatoes no drain for a creamy easy side that finishes the meal beautifully.
