The items on this list are decadent! Melted cheese inside and on top of each and every one, these are the kind of items that will not be left on your serving platters.

OK, as if cheese raviolis, little pockets of pasta filled with ricotta, aren’t delicious enough, this recipe has them dipped in egg and rolled in breadcrumbs then fried to a nice crisp. You serve these with some warm marinara sauce for dipping and you have got a little piece of crisp but gooey heaven!

Who doesn’t love a fresh baked dinner roll? I used to think adding warm butter to one made the perfect dinner side treat, well try stuffing it full of thin slices of quality ham, two kids of cheeses and a few tangy pickles then baking it! You go from having a delicious meal accompaniment to a full meal all in a warm pocket!

Indiana: Cheese Buns

It’s hard to pin down a state food for Indiana, but we think these cheese buns from Cookistry are equally as amazing as the pork tenderloin sandwiches and corndogs beloved by so many Hoosiers.

The name of this recipe had me stumped! Cheese Buttons? I’d never heard of anything like it before. I thought it would be little round chunks of cheese instead it is cottage cheese baked with flour in mounds then covered in sautéed onions and cream. The result is an oniony, cheesy mess of goodness that could be eaten on it’s own or served with a piece of meat either chicken or sliced steak on top!!

North Dakota: Cheese Buttons

Traveling to North Dakota for a plate of their traditional cheese buttons would be difficult for most of us, no matter how worth the trip it would be. Fortunately, Prairie Californian has a simple recipe for them we can all make from the comfort of our homes!

I know I said I was going to leave off the obvious items, but this pizza isn’t your average pie. This one is thin crust covered in olive oil, parmesan, herbs, garlic and clams! With a twist of lemon this recipe screams for a nice crisp glass of white wine.

Ask anyone from Connecticut and they'll tell you their white clam pizza is better than New York's, Chicago's, and anyone else who owns pizza ovens. Brave Apron has the recipe so you can see for yourself.

Again, I know the grilled cheese is another American staple but this recipe takes my children’s favorite meal item to a whole new level! Butter, shallots, Dijon mustard combined with parmesan cheese, ham and pineapple?! All on soft sweet Hawaiian bread this recipe is by far my favorite.

The list really goes on and on, one delicious favorite American dish after another all highlighting one of our favorite ingredients, cheese!

Whether you like yours baked in pasta or stuffed inside warm dough or melted on top of thin dough this list has something for everybody. Though I warn, you might want to save some of these for special occasions.

If you were to make one of these every night of the week your scale might see some numbers change, but the great part about rich foods is a little goes a long way! One of these a couple times a month should satisfy the craving for comfort food but you might want to make sure you keep your gym pass up to date.
