Want to bring the vibe of your favorite hangout to your own kitchen? Look no further, because I’ve compiled 16 of the best pub-style recipes you can find anywhere!
These are awesome for get-togethers with friends, or really anytime you’re craving that distinct bar food taste.
1. Classic Tuna Melt
Want to take a plain can of tuna and make it into a magnificent meal? Here’s the recipe to do it!
This sandwich has hot bread, creamy tuna, ripe tomatoes, and hot cheese.
It’s the perfect mixture of a tuna sandwich and a grilled cheese, all in one package.
2. Classic Shepherd’s Pie
This pie is an amazing combo of hot seasoned beef and mashed potatoes with cheese on top. It’s my ultimate casserole fantasy.
The creamy potatoes with savory beef are an absolute treat for my taste buds!
3. Cottage Pie
You shouldn’t mistake this pie for a shepherd’s pie.
Cottage pie has a ground beef filling in a gravy sauce, topped with fluffy mashed potatoes. The potatoes have parmesan on top and are baked just right for that hot outer crust.
So, the difference? Shepherd’s pie has lamb, while cottage pie has beef.
4. Philly Cheesesteak
A great hoagie roll is filled with ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and provolone.
I can’t begin to describe how much I appreciate a tasty Philly cheesesteak. It has extra-rich and luxurious flavors and is the ultimate indulgence. Sure, it’s not that healthy, but who cares?
5. Pub Burgers
Just one look at the photo, and you’ll understand how awesome these pub burgers are.
I could look at those shiny onions and melted cheese all day. But the juicy patties are what make these burgers great. They’re seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, butter, salt, and pepper and are absolute perfection.
6. Steak Frites
Combine your tasty steak with great fries for a memorable meal. This has restaurant quality.
The pan-seared steak has perfectly fried fries as a side. The steak has a light lemon herb butter whipped to fluffy perfection on top.
No, you’re drooling!
7. Veggie Burgers
Who says vegetarians can’t enjoy a tasty burger? Sure, most veggie burgers don’t taste good, but these ones do.
These burgers have quinoa, black beans, oats, sweet potatoes, herbs, and seasonings and are hearty and chewy. They are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free.
8. Club Sandwich
This sandwich has toasted bread, ham, bacon, turkey, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and mayo, all in one incredible bite.
Am I in sandwich heaven? It has every great flavor and texture you appreciate in a sandwich, and is salty, savory, tender, crispy, and creamy.
9. Classic Reuben Sandwich
The incredible Reuben sandwich is made with savory corned beef, melted cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing between rye bread. Even though there are many ingredients, the flavors and textures don’t clash.
It’s everything you could want in a grilled sandwich.
10. Loaded Pub Fries
I’d pick these over classic fries every time.
Sure, normal fries are awesome, but with bacon, Manchego cheese, and cheddar, these loaded fries are 10x better.
11. Potato Skins
It’s impossible to resist amazing potato skins.
This is the pub food you can’t only have one of! Loaded with bacon, cheese, and green onions, these potato skins can compete with any pub.
Even better, they’re easy to prepare and ready in 10 minutes.
12. Pub-Style Steak and Onion Pie
There are melty chunks of steak and sweet onions in a savory gravy with a hot pie crust. These pies are a British pub offering.
You don’t have to buy a plane ticket for a slice, though. This recipe is all you need.
13. Fish and Chips
Here’s another British dish that deserves more love!
Fish and chips are the definition of fried food. This recipe makes fish and fries that are crispy outside and hot inside. Their flavors are great, and they are seasoned with salt, pepper, and spices.
14. Ground Chicken Burgers
These chicken burgers are sure to please! If you want a great take on traditional burgers, here you go.
This recipe makes extremely tender and juicy patties. They take just a half hour, too, so add them to your weeknight meals.
15. Crispy Chicken Parmesan
Chicken, marinara, parmesan, and mozzarella go together perfectly. These things combine to make an awesome dish.
Even though the chicken is coated with tomato sauce and cheese, it stays crispy. Breadcrumbs and baking make that happen, so don’t skip that.
16. Cobb Salad
Let’s take a moment to enjoy this bowl of cobb salad.
I don’t often enjoy salads with greens, but I could eat this all day. With bacon, chicken, eggs, cheese, avocado, and dressing, I can eat this salad.
