Introduction

The U.S. is home to many great things, but one of the best is its food culture. We have many restaurants and cuisines that make dining out an adventure every time you go. But what are Americans' favorite dishes? According to a survey by The NPD Group, these are the most popular dinners in America:

Chicken

Chicken is the most popular dinner food in America. It's easy to prepare, versatile and can be made in many different ways. Chicken is a good source of protein and other nutrients such as iron, selenium, phosphorus and vitamin B12.

Pasta

Pasta is one of the most popular foods in America. It's also a classic Italian dish, so it's no surprise that pasta recipes are some of our most beloved meals. Pasta is easy to make and can be served with almost any sauce you want, so there's something for everyone!

If you have company coming over for dinner, this recipe will help them feel at home with an easy meal that anyone could make—even if they're unfamiliar with making pasta from scratch!

Pizza

Pizza is a popular meal for many people, and it's easy to make at home. If you want to go the healthy route, choose low-fat cheese and whole-wheat crusts (or even better, skip the crust altogether). You can also use leftover pizza as an opportunity to try out new toppings on your next order from your favorite local pizzeria.

Pizza can be a tasty way of using leftovers without making them boring or tasteless by adding some variety by topping off your pie with something different each time!

Sandwiches/Wraps

Sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. You can easily make sandwiches out of any leftovers in your fridge, and they're easy to eat. Some people prefer cold sandwiches, but many prefer them served hot or warm. There are so many kinds of sandwiches; you'll find something to suit your tastes!

Cold sandwich options include grilled cheeses, BLTs (bacon, lettuce and tomato), club sandwiches (turkey with bacon or ham), grilled portobello mushroom caps topped with goat cheese or Gruyere cheese; panini's like the Italian sub with salami or provolone cheese melted overtop sliced tomatoes and onions on top of ciabatta bread cut into thick slices; thin crust pizzas topped with meats such as pepperoni sausage patties replacing traditional tomato sauce with homemade pizza sauce...the list goes on!

Seafood

Seafood is often the show's star, but it doesn't have to be. You can get your seafood fix by making a simple fish or shrimp dish full of flavor and nutrition. Here are some tips for cooking seafood:

     Use fresh, high-quality ingredients when you're making seafood recipes. The fresher the fish or shellfish, the better it will taste.

     Don't overcook your foods — especially when cooking with shellfish! If you cook too long at high temperatures (which can easily happen if your pan isn't properly seasoned), then bacteria will grow on top of them and cause spoilage later on down the road when they're served raw or cooked again in another way.

Tacos/Burritos/Enchiladas

Tacos, burritos, and enchiladas are all Mexican dishes that you'll find on this list. Though they're not technically the same thing—Tacos are made with meat (often pork), while burritos tend to be filled with rice or beans—they share many similarities: they're both served in tortilla shells and can be eaten with your hands. Enchiladas are similar in that they're usually made out of tortillas instead of bread; however, these dishes also often include potatoes or cheese as an additional filling option.

In general, tacos tend to have more meat than burritos; both have a lot of cheese involved too! You'll recognize an enchilada by its rolled edge around the filling; it's usually pretty spicy too!

You're in good company! Most people's favorite foods will probably be on this list.
