Root Beer Pulled Pork Nachos image

I count on my slow cooker to do the honors when I have a house full of summer guests. Teenagers especially love DIY nachos. Try cola, ginger ale or lemon-lime soda if you're not into root beer. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

AIR-FRYER BRATS WITH BEER GRAVY

Air-Fryer Brats with Beer Gravy image

These air-fryer brats are a nod to my German heritage. I serve them with a green vegetable and some french fries or mashed potatoes on the side. For a deeper sauce flavor, try using a lager or stout beer. -Allison Ochoa, Hays, Kansas
