Cowboy Quiche
Early mornings on the ranch call for a hearty breakfast—and this quiche delivers! “Real cowboys eat quiche,” as Ree says. It’s baked to a glorious golden brown with caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese.

Grilled Tenderloin
Ladd’s grilled tenderloin is the stuff of family legend. He douses the cut of beef with butter, and sprinkles with lemon and pepper seasoning and Lawry’s seasoned salt, before throwing it on the grill.

Crash Hot Potatoes
You can’t have steak without potatoes. These are boiled, then smashed and baked until they’re “golden and crispy and sizzling.” Serve ’em drizzled with homemade ranch dressing alongside an iceberg wedge and you’ve got one of Ladd’s favorite meals.

Homemade Ranch Dressing
Speaking of ranch, it’s the Drummond family’s favorite condiment. (Ladd himself would keep it on hand to dip wings, fries, chips—everything if he could!) Ree shared this basic recipe over 10 years ago and it’s “still so delicious.”

Dr Pepper Floats
Ladd’s favorite drink of all time is Dr Pepper and the only thing that takes it to the next level? A few scoops of vanilla ice cream. “Here’s a homemade ice cream version—or just use store-bought!” as Ree suggests.

Marlboro Man Sandwich
Ladd’s namesake sandwich is a “rib-stickin’, man-pleasin’, not non-fat sandwich” of steak, onions, and gravy, as Ree describes it. Her tip: Spoon a little sauce from the bottom of the pan over the meat, which makes it extra yummy and moist.

Spicy Queso Burgers
Ladd isn’t big on burgers as much as steak, but he can’t resist a spoonful of this homemade queso. “Ree’s queso is the best burger topping,” says the Marlboro Man himself.

Chicken Fried Steak
It’s not an everyday thing, but this is what Ree calls “a glorious thing.” Eat it like Ladd, who enjoys it paired with a pile of mashed potatoes and creamy gravy poured over the plate. “Follow each step and you’ll have the best plate of comfort food that you’ve ever had,” she promises.

Chocolate Pie
“This is the kind Ladd always chooses! It’s his favorite one in the world and so easy,” Ree says. You can use a graham cracker crust, a pre-baked regular pie crust, or you can forgo the crust and serve the filling in cute little pudding bowls for a crowd on Father’s Day.

The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever
Whether you call it Texas sheet cake, chocolate sheet cake, or something else entirely, this is a Dad-approved dessert. “I misread my mother-in-law Nan’s recipe card she gave me almost thirty years ago,” Ree admits, “and the result is a cake with too much butter and chocolate… which, we have discovered, is the perfect amount.”
