Get the Recipe 09 of 57 Caramelized Five-Onion Dip Photo by Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Rishon Hanners / Prop Styling by Claire Spollen A mix of five different alliums — shallots, scallions, and sweet, yellow, and red onions — upgrades this classic caramelized onion dip with layers of flavor.

Get the Recipe 10 of 57 Barbecue-Spiced Potato Chips Photo by Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Margaret Dickey / Prop Styling by Claire Spollen The secret to these potato chips is in the pre-soak.

Native to Mexico, slender and spicy dried Japones chiles lend their heat to this quick and easy version of the popular Chinese condiment. For an even easier version, try this with your favorite store-bought chile crisp. Get the Recipe 13 of 57 Short Rib Chili Photo by Victor Protasio / Food Styling by Tyna Hoang / Prop Styling by Christina Daley Fresh jalapeños, smoky chipotles in adobo, and fruity ancho chile powder give this thick, meaty short rib chili layers of heat, while red wine and tomato add acidity to balance out the richness of the tender short ribs. Homemade pickled red onions provide a colorful, tasty, crunchy topping.

Try Tajín Clásico Seasoning for the chili-lime salt.

Get the Recipe 19 of 57 Sour Cream and Chive Potato Pizza Graydon Herriott When layering toppings on the pizzas before baking, use a lighter hand towards the center of each pie; the dough will puff while cooking, and the potatoes and cheese will gravitate towards the middle. Get the Recipe 20 of 57 Ultimate Loaded Chili-Topped Hot Dogs Jen Causey Like any "loaded" situation, this hot dog is all about constructing your plate. Split-top buns allow you to hollow out the sides a bit, fitting extra toppings into each bite. A touch of sweetness in the chili balances out the salt from Corn Nuts and the hot dog, while the sharp bite of pickled jalapeños creates balance. Radishes and sour cream offer a welcome hit of freshness. The chili can easily be made ahead of time for quick assembly the day of.
