Chocolate
This Mocha Blackout Cake boasts triple the chocolate wallop with layers of rich cocoa-espresso cake, homemade mocha pudding and crisp chocolate wafer cookies. Complement the chocolate flavor with a dollop of rum-infused whipped cream.

Cheese
With a creamy Velveeta sauce and seven (yes, seven!) grated cheeses mixed in, Delilah’s 7-Cheese Mac and Cheese recipe is guaranteed to make any cheese lover melt — just like the grated Cheddar sprinkled over top of this super decadent dish!

Bacon
Ask any bacon aficionado and they’ll tell you that the homemade stuff is worth the wait. This sweet-and-salty Maple Cured Bacon needs a full seven days in your refrigerator, but when it’s done you’ll have the best breakfast strips imaginable. Plus, you can stock your freezer. When it’s frozen, the bacon will keep for up to three months.

Doughnuts
For when a single doughnut just won't do, this Icebox Doughnut Cake combines them (with sweet, cream cheese frosting) into a celebration-ready cake. Mix and match your favorite flavors to up the appeal.

Pizza
Go big or go for takeout. Pizza fiends can capture the flavor of a Chicago-style deep dish with a cast-iron skillet, heaps of mozzarella and some spicy sausage for the ultimate in homemade pizza perfection.

Hot Dogs
The best part of a top-notch dog is its savory, smoky flavor — and we love this Chile Con Carne Hot Dog recipe for that very reason. The chili on top is made with hickory- or mesquite-smoked carne which really enhances the flavor.

Cupcakes
Rich, creamy stout takes the flavor of these Chocolate Cupcakes over the top. The beer’s complexity (and distinct notes of roasted coffee and cocoa) make it the perfect addition when you're baking chocolate desserts.

Fried Foods
Angus beef hot dog? Check. Cheesy bacon slider? Double check. Tempura-battered and deep-fried to golden-brown deliciousness? You bet! This Deep-Fried Slider on a Stick has it all.

Eggs
If you’re obsessed with eggs then you already know that everything from burgers to pasta becomes more delicious the minute you put an egg on it (especially one with a soft yolk). But, did you know that scrambled eggs can be just as creamy and decadent? These Low and Slow Scrambled Eggs take up to a half an hour to make but the end result is super rich and custardy.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread
Need an excuse to eat chocolate-hazelnut spread by the spoonful? You’ll find a scoop inside every one of these warm, fried Chocolate-Hazelnut Raviolis.

Lobster
With its sweet, delicate ocean flavor and luscious texture, lobster is truly obsession-worthy. We like to indulge by making Lobster Risotto — and piling it high with generous chunks of freshly steamed lobster meat.

Ice Cream
Opposites attract in this frozen treat. The blending of chocolate ice cream and warming spices like ground cinnamon and ancho chile powder make this Mexican Chocolate Milkshake a must-have for anyone who’s all about ice cream!

Grilled Cheese
The ultimate mash-up of two of our favorite food obsessions (bread and cheese) this Mozzarella in Corrozza is guaranteed to be one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches you’ll ever taste. The pieces are battered and pan-fried so the bread is unbelievably crisp — and the mozzarella is soft and stretchy.
