I have 3, and I'm expected to bring them all, lol.
Appetizer: Incredibly unhealthy chili-cheese dip.
This one is just mixing other products for the most part. I brown some breakfast sausage, then mix it with 1 small jar of Tostino's queso, one can of chili, a drained can of rotel, and mix in a bunch of cumin and add cayanne paper to spice tolerance. Nuke it and stor a few times. Great on chips and makes ludicrous chili dogs.
Entree: pork tenderloin. It's always a huge hit, and it's embarrassingly easy:
Cover it in Soy Sauce and Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning, cook at 350 for 45 minutes, and (this is key) LET IT SIT for 10 minutes before cutting it. Also cut to serve instead of pre-slicing. Those last 2 bits are the "secret" that keeps it from being dry.
Desert: Sopapilla cheesecake. It's basically concentrated diabetes
Layer bottom of 9x13 glass pan with a dough sheet (crescent rolls pinched together also works), mix 3 8oz packages of cream cheese, 1.5 cups of sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla together and pour over the dough. Polut another dough sheet on top and melt a stick of butter and pour over the top. Mix a teaspoon of cinnamon with another 1/2 cup of sugar and sprinkle over the melted butter. Bake at 350 for an hour then let harden in fridge overnight to set. I like to heat it up a bit in the oven to soften and re-melt to serve.

Biscuits and gravy.
My friends and I try to get together once every year in a big Airbnb, where we basically just hang out all weekend or a most of a week if we can. We all take turns cooking meals for everyone. Only breakfast and dinner, lunch is a free for all. I always get breakfast for day one. It's always biscuits and gravy.
The biscuits come from a can, they were put there by a man, in a factory downtown.
But the gravy is homemade. Use a giant pot, put a few pounds of spicy ground sausage in the bottom and brown it up.
Leave the grease in, lower the heat, add an amount of flour and stir it in for a few minutes to cook it and make a sort of roux. Then slowly add almost a gallon of whole milk, depending on how much sausage and therefore flour you used.Stir it very often, gently scrape the bottom, but not aggressively, because you likely burned a little flour on there during the roux phase, too much meat to handle, I haven't solved this yet. But it'll be ok.
Once it's good and hot, almost simmering, kill the heat, let it cool a minute or two, then serve on the biscuits. The consistency should be somewhat thick, like, well, thick gravy. Not watery. When it gets cold in the fridge, you can scoop it out and it holds its shape.
It's so unhealthy, but people love it. It makes a great breakfast for 10-15 people. Sometimes I'll do a big pan of eggs simultaneously to go with it. There's always leftovers of the gravy, but it goes on anything and reheats easily, so it gets eaten over the next few days when random people are randomly hungry. It never gets thrown out.
I've tried offering to make other dishes, do dinner instead, or do a different breakfast food. But everyone always begs for the biscuits and gravy. So I oblige.
We do usually end up with a second meal, depending on how many people can make it, so I'll help my wife with whatever she decides to make for dinner.
This is exactly how I make gravy. I have also started making the biscuits from scratch using a flaky layers recipe I found online; it is a marginal improvement, but the gravy is still the star of the show.

Exhibit A of:
We're rapidly unlearning how to cook. The US and Canada have progressed quite far on that path, but many countries are following.Bro, aspics aren't even popular anymore. What are you on about?

Chicken parm, or its fried wings with homemade sauces.
The parm is literally just, crack two eggs. Take two chicken breasts or whatever and cut them in half or into strips.
Take a bowl of plain, yes plain panko bread crumbs. Take shredded parmesan like the shit you find in the green shaker bottles you keep in the fridge. Shredded oregano, Mixed Italian seasoning, any other separate Italian seasonings you want. Also could add some red pepper flakes for a small kick.
Skin:
1 - 2 cups of panko
1 - 1/12 cup of parmesan
1 tbsp of Oregano and other seasonings mixed
Crack 2 eggs in a bowl. Mix some garlic salt in to strengthen the flavor.
Set aside a bowl of plain flower
Dredge chicken in flower, dredge in eggs, dredge in flower than eggs again
Coat in Panko throughly
Refrigerate for at least an hour or more
Either deep fry until the internal temperature is 165 (Be careful with heat distribution in oil. Too hot will rip skin off)
Or Air fryer style
Depending on your Air Fryer 350 - 375 degrees
Adjust time accordingly, flip chicken in the middle of cooking and coat with marinara or desired sauce.Serve with noodles, boom. Donezo, and it's delicious.
Also if any other would be chef's have ways to improve that be my guest
I never double flour dredge or fridge my wings, but I've found that a dual fry will elevate just about any wings.
I'll do the flour-egg-panko method, once they're all coated they get fried in batches to a light brown and pulled out. Then once they're all done once, I start at the first set and refry everything until they're a good and golden brown. Keeps an amazing crisp on the skin

The fridge let's it marinate in the seasonings and it makes the skin stick a bit more.
Otherwise I gotcha!

Interesting. I've never had an issue with the skin sticking, so I've not had to try to fix that issue. As for flavor, I'm usually too hungry to care (plus, that's what sauce is for)

I can do Lasagna or Salmon Patties (the secret is dill). I'll also pressure cook chicken, but that turns really dry if you have any leftovers. I can also do a good pot of beans, but I usually make a bad pot of beans for myself to honor my low-sodium goals and be lazy.
I used to make a good carrot cake w/ butter cream icing, but I haven't tried that in nearly 15 years.

If they share it, they might spread joy but at the expense of not being better than others at this one specific thing.
My one aunt was like that, always thought it was just pettiness...

family secret
I never understood this in the context of recipes... unless your family is trying to sell the product.
It’s literally the only positive thing that my family passed down to me…

Nice! Care to share your biscuit recipe? I'm not sure I'm ready to give up the can, but it's on my list of things to try

dafuq you people doing naming what you make and NOT POSTING YOUR RECIPES?!?!?
I make some bomb ass corn bread.
preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup veggie oil
2 bigass eggs
1 tbsp baking powder
mix that shit good until it's a slightly runny batter.
add extras and mix some more.
Extras may include any or all of the following: diced onion, diced bellpepper, sausage crumbles, diced jalapenos, whatever the fuck you want in your cornbread it will probably be delicious.
Coat pan in oil. Pour batter into pan. I use a regular loaf pan.
Bake in oven until it passes the toothpick test.
Without extras, should pass toothpick test inside of 30 minutes. With extras, time will be longer and you'll have to play with it.
insert sob story about how I love my mamma here to round out the recipe.
For you, this is exactly where I got "my" recipe for mozzarella stuffed meatballs. I normally do all beef for diet reasons, but yeah.

Funeral potatoes
Crikey what are funeral potatoes?

A cheese and potato casserole. My household just called it cheese potatoes but apparently it's a common type of dish for Mormons to bring to funerals or to give to the grieving so we've just run with the name since people call it that here

Oh that sounds GOOD. Potatoes and cheese can only be a good thing

Yeah its good easy food that's comforting.
Mine is a bag of frozen shredded potatoes, a pint of sour cream, a can of cream of mushrooms, and you stop adding cheddar when you're concerned about the irony of the dish's name

I do a guac because it's easy and I'm not great at cooking. Fortunately guac hasn't hit the zeitgeist in Japan so people are impressed by it.
