In week six of the competition, three finalists will have two more rounds of cooking to determine the winner of "The Great American Recipe." In round one, the home cooks prepare a hometown recipe. In round two, they’ll create an entree, side and dessert that represents their Great American Recipe.

In week five, the home cooks have two rounds of cooking left to earn their spot in the finale for a chance to be named winner of "The Great American Recipe." In round one, the home cooks have 60 minutes to make a dish from a family tradition. Then in round two, the home cooks prepare heirloom recipes that have been treasured by their families for generations before the three final are announced.

In week four of the competition, the six remaining home cooks must step outside their comfort zones in two rounds of cooking. In the first round, a brand new challenge tasks each home cook to prepare one of the judges’ recipes. In the second round, the home cooks swap recipes with each other and try to put their own personal spin on a fellow home cook’s dish.
