I love mash-up recipes because it’s like getting a two-for-one deal. These mash-ups have all my favorite flavors rolled up into inventive new dishes that you’ll want to make over and over. Plus, plenty of them use common kitchen ingredients, so they’re a snap to make, even on a busy weeknight. Skip the takeout and tap into double flavor with these thirteen top faves.

1. Pizza Meatloaf
This epic combo of two comfort foods, pizza, and meatloaf, is kid-friendly but will also satisfy your adult cravings for salty and savory fare. Plus, there’s just a few minutes of prep time, so you’ll have this meatloaf in and out of the oven in less time than it takes to order in. The traditional flavors of meatloaf spiked with diced peppers and onion go perfectly with melty mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperoni, and a generous sprinkle of Italian seasoning brings the whole dish together beautifully.

2. Everything Bagel Casserole
I used to think that making bagels from scratch was well beyond my kitchen skills until I discovered this two-ingredient hack with Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. All you need to do is mix the two together, make your bagels, and top with a little bit of egg and Everything But The Bagel seasoning. I like to make a few extra to enjoy on busy weekday mornings. Pop your bagels into a casserole dish with some cheese, crumbled bacon, and a mixture of milk, salt, pepper, and eggs, and bake until bubbly for about 40 minutes. You’ll get all of the flavor of a delicious, fresh bagel and the creaminess of a casserole in one stellar dish.

3. Chicken Parmesan Croissant Bread Loaf
If you’re wondering what to do with that leftover rotisserie chicken, this recipe is the answer. It’s an excellent combination of fluffy Pillsbury reduced-fat crescent rolls and all the authentic flavors of Chicken Parmesan in one portable and delicious treat. Rotisserie chicken blends perfectly with mozzarella, pasta sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and some Italian seasoning. Egg whites lend a crispy, golden-brown coat to the top of the loaf and give it another layer of texture. It’s the ideal picnic treat.

4. One-Pot Chicken Taco Mac & Cheese
This recipe effortlessly combines two tried-and-true classics in one pot of decadent dinner joy, and it’s super easy to make. Amp up the flavor of chicken tacos with diced red and green peppers, red onion, and some tomatoes with green chiles mixed with ground chicken. You’ll also need a few tablespoons of taco seasoning to drive the dish home. These flavors are a heavenly match with your classic cheddar macaroni mac and cheese.

5. Impossible Cheeseburger Pie
The classic flavors of a cheeseburger in pie form? Sign me up! This mash-up is the ideal barbeque food and will give your guests a break from standard patties with a Pillsbury crescent roll base, topped with a mixture of ground beef, spicy Dijon mustard, ketchup, panko crumbs, bacon, and grated cheese. Each wedge is bursting with all of the authentic flavors you’d expect from a top-notch cheeseburger, with the added goodness of Pillsbury crust.

6. Cheesy Lasagna-Inspired Stuffed Chicken
Another off-the-charts tasty mash-up, these chicken breasts with surprise lasagna flavors inside give you a big boost of protein and also satisfy your cheese cravings. Each chicken breast is full of light ricotta cheese, reduced-fat shredded cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan, pasta sauce, and seasoning for a fun spin on two classic dishes. It’s also a great way to cut back on carbs since you’ll be powering up with protein and still feeling like you’ve just tucked into a delicious plate of lasagna.

7. Big Mac Salad
This is the dish I make when I’m craving a McDonald’s run because it’s a dead-on dupe for a Big Mac, but just in salad form. Plus, you probably have everything you need in your fridge and pantry. Start with extra-lean ground beef, and in some iceberg or romaine lettuce, a bit of chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, dill pickles for a burst of tang, and some reduced-fat cheddar cheese. The dressing tastes just like Big Mac sauce, with light mayo, sour cream, relish, vinegar, mustard, and a bit of spice.

8. Philly Croissant Loaf
This riff on a Philly sandwich swaps in chicken for beef and wraps the whole thing in flaky and delicious Pillsbury crescent rolls. It’s a portable, scrumptious dish that uses some of your favorite flavors in a new and exciting way. Add in green pepper and mild, creamy provolone cheese for that traditional Philly taste, and don’t skimp on the zero-point Ranch dressing, as it adds just the right zing to your end result.

9. Deluxe Pizza Stuffed Shells
I can’t get enough recipes that introduce pizza to other classic dishes, which is why this is my go-to pasta creation for those nights when I really want to treat myself. It’s a kid-friendly, adult-approved, super easy dinner idea that packs on double protein in the form of pepperoni and ground chicken. It gives you some classic stuffed shell flavors like garlic, velvety ricotta cheese, and Parmesan. Topped with jarred or homemade pasta sauce, this dish is a winner in every book.

10. Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
I adore a good soup as much as the next person, and this take on a bacon cheeseburger-flavored bowl of joy is off-the-charts. It’s decadent and creamy, with plenty of ground chicken, carrots, and garlic. Center-cut, crumbly bacon adds a ton of texture and interest to the dish, and frozen hash browns are a great way to get your potato fix without having to scrub, peel, and dice those spuds. Top it off with some shredded cheese, and you have a marvelous bowl of soup that hits all the flavor high notes.

11. Loaded Nacho Casserole
With the fabulous flavors of a sizzling plate of nachos and a fluffy biscuit base, this casserole will be a hit at your next barbeque, although it’s simple enough so you can treat your family any night of the week. Using pre-made biscuits is an excellent time saver. You’ll get all of that fabulous nacho flavor from ground beef, spices, salsa, tomato, jalapenos, and red onion. I love to add in some crumbled Tostitos chips to really drive home to the nacho flavors, and of course, don’t forget about the shredded cheese on top.

12. Spaghetti and Meatball Biscuit Pies
Spaghetti and meatball biscuit pies are a simple and inventive way to shake up your pasta routine. Each mini-pie starts with a Pillsbury biscuit crust and has a swirl of perfectly sauced pasta crowned with a homemade beef and panko-crumb meatball. Add some Parmesan cheese, and you’ve got a perfectly proportioned snack that couldn’t be cuter. Serve these at your next brunch, or simply make a batch to snack on at home.
Who says you can’t have it all? As these mash-up recipes prove, it’s easy to combine your favorite flavors into easy, delicious dishes that use common kitchen ingredients and come together quickly. These dishes are crowd-pleasers and bound to hit the spot when you’re itching to order takeout or simply want to whip up an incredible creation in the kitchen.
