Good and cheap. That pretty much sums up this pantry supper made with stuff we suspect you already have on hand.

Plump pork chops are pounded into satisfying submission (whack! whack! whack!) before being breaded and gently sautéed to perfection.

A sassy mix of ground pork, paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, and wine that you can stash in the fridge and pull out whenever the craving hits. Which, we assure you, will be often.

There's a lot to be said for a diner-style dish like this one, though we prefer it made at home, minus the wobbly seats, the sticky laminated menu, and sometimes surly service.

Permeated with an enticing and sorta (but not intimidatingly) exotic blend of spices, these chicken thighs and tender roasted onions and couldn't be easier.

This 4-ingredient Italian onion soup is just as humble, frugal, and soothing as its more commonly known French kin.

Your newest go-to appetizer. (Or, on lazy nights when you feel like indulging, your dinner. Don't forget the wine.)

A little spicy, a little tangy, and a little less than an hour from start to table.

The exact same roadside double offered by the iconic Shake Shack burgers. And it has everything you’ve ever wanted in a burger.

A comforting, satiating breakfast, lunch, or supper. The sort of sustenance that never, ever disappoints.

Buttery, rich pound cake is ribboned with a marmalade layer, steeped in blood orange syrup, and finished off with a tartly sweet orange glaze. Sigh.

Cacio e pepe kugel. It's what happens when Rome's famous pasta dish collides with everyone's favorite Jewish comfort food.

Stadium-worthy bacon-wrapped hot dogs at home. Sooooooo worth the indulgence.

Okay, breadbaking virgins, here's the loaf for you. Nothing tricky. Just flour, water, yeast, and salt. And an honest-to-goodness homemade taste.

A keto-friendly, low-carb, gluten-free riff on the Asian classic that lacks nothing in appeal yet is crazy underwhelming in terms of its carbohydrate load.

The blueberry muffin recipe you've been waiting for all your life. Seriously. Tender with a cake-like crumb and a crisp sugar topping.

Fennel turns meltingly tender and oh so sweet when slowly, slowly, slowly braised in cream, cheese, and butter. One more reason to be enamored with the holidays.

This is the crisp accent to all manner of foods that you've been missing out on your entire life. And they're quick and easy enough to fry so you can easily make up for lost time.

This is what we consider to be the ultimate pot roast for company. (Heck, with two types of booze, it's gotta be good!)

Layer after layer after layer of perfectly spiced apples. An ever-so-slightly tangy creaminess. And a subtly spiced streusel.
