Your favorite pizza toppings like sauce, savory sausage and plenty of creamy mozzarella come together to dress up a skillet of crispy fries. Start with the store-bought shoestring variety to keep this party-ready starter simple and quick to prepare.

Cobb Fries

Though lettuce makes an appearance atop these quick-fix fries, this isn't your ordinary salad — or a salad at all. Cobb mainstays like smoky bacon, chopped chicken and cool avocado come together over cheesy waffle fries to create an indulgent appetizer.

Crispy Mac and Cheese

Cooking the mac and cheese in a thin layer atop a baking sheet means that more noodles and cheese can turn brown and crispy in the oven.

Drunken Red Wine Pasta

Boiling the pasta in a red wine bath lets the noodles absorb the bold flavor of the wine — and some of the too-cool crimson color. Use the same red wine boiling liquid to loosen up the pancetta-shallot sauce, which gets a boost of creaminess from tangy mascarpone cheese.

Sandwich Cake

Though this layered masterpiece may look like a showstopping dessert, it's actually a savory sandwich, piled high with deli meats and cheeses, then spread with a ranch-flavored cream cheese mixture to mimic frosting.

Apple Pie Twists

You can make this party-ready dessert with just five ingredients, including the welcome shortcut of store-bought puff pastry. Apple butter is smeared on the bottom layer of dough to deliver a sweet pielike filling.
