Trader Joe's has a "South African smoke" seasoning with smoked paprika and garlic that I bet would be good in there too.
Do you want cheap and fast or do you want complex? If you're looking to strike a balance between the two, pizza and garlic bread is surprisingly easy to make (relatively) from scratch.
my favorite pizza dough recipe 'cuz Bobby Flay is the man. This makes enough dough for 2 pizzas, or 1 pizza and 1 garlic bread. It's easy to divide in half, though.
Then, you know, throw on some pizza or marinara sauce (making your own sauce doesn't seem too hard but I haven't done it yet so I'm not sure), pepperonis and whatever, mozzarella, and cheddar. I like caramelized English cheddar, but regular cheddar works fine. Smoked Gouda if you want to go full-on insanity wolf. Cook at 425F until crust is golden brown (10-15 min).
Also, chicken. Chicken is fucking fantastic. Get a bag of chicken breasts, season them with paprika, seasoned salt, cayenne, and whatever else seems appealing (like this shit, oh my god you don't even know), and cook them all up at the beginning of the week. There aren't too many things you can ruin by putting chicken in them.
Replace the pizza sauce/marinara with BBQ sauce and chopped green onions, and the pepperonis with chicken for a BBQ chicken pizza. Eat that shit.
Almost forgot about garlic bread. I love Little Caesars crazy bread, so to approximate it I make pizza dough using the recipe above and cook it as a flatbread. Then as soon as it comes out of the oven I brush a mixture of butter and garlic salt all over it and sprinkle parm on top of that. Then oregano. That's crazy bread, more or less.
Another thing with chicken: mother fucking chicken nachos. Cook up some sliced bell peppers in a pan (frozen is fine if you have freezer space), along with a chopped onion. As that's cooking, season it with the same stuff the chicken is seasoned with: paprika, seasoned salt, cayenne, etc. Put some nacho chips in a cooking dish, then a light layer of pepperjack cheese, then the seasoned peppers-onion mix, then a heavy layer of pepperjack cheese, and finally another layer of pepperjack cheese because fuck it. Cook at 375-400F until cheese is melted and serve with salsa and sour cream. No, this is not a healthy dish.
Last but not least: smoked Gouda dogs. Make the pizza dough as per usual. The pizza dough recipe above is good for an entire 8 pack of hot dogs, so divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Make a deep slit down the length of each hot dog, but don't cut all the way through; you're making a pocket to stuff cheese into. Now stuff a liberal amount of cheese into each hot dog. I use smoked Gouda, hence the name, but you can use anything. Kraft singles work fine. Now grab one of the pieces of dough and roll it in your hands until it is long and thin, and wrap the dough around the cheese-stuffed hot dog like a mummy. Repeat for all dogs, and cook at 425F until crust is golden brown. You're welcome.
