Put down that menu and drop your car keys. Here’s a sampling of our favorite takeout recipes:
5 Step Beef and Broccoli
Beef and Broccoli is a classic Asian-inspired dish. Most of the ingredients needed probably already reside in your pantry, making it easy to prepare.

Must-Make Sweet and Sour Chicken
“Must-Make” is right. This slow cooker dinner recipe is as easy as picking up takeout. Because the chicken cooks for hours, it really picks up the flavors of sriracha, soy sauce, and sugar.

The Perfect Slow Cooker Hamburger
Seasoned with dry ranch dressing and onion soup mix, these hamburgers are bursting with taste. They’re plump, juicy, and definitely better than any burger from a fast food place.
