Here is something everybody likes

[rk911]

greasy cheeseburger, not-so-crisp french fries and an ear of corn.

 

[Ronstar]

My homemade Texas chili, without a doubt!

Chili here as well, but probably not Texas chili. Just finished our first winter's batch that I made election night.

 

[Irishgirlyc58]

I love tomato soup. I usually get it at a sandwich place that puts it in a fresh sourdough bowl.
Starbucks has a great grilled cheese sandwich. They are so good that I have to stop myself from buying them because they aren’t exactly good for you.

 

[MuirWannabe]

Chicken pot pie, French onion soup, shepherd’s pie

 

[Sunset]

Turkey soup and ham soup. I cringe every time I see some one trash a turkey that has enough meat on it to make a soup that would feed a family of 4 for 2 meals.
............

Long ago, I was at a friends place and started making soup from the carcass. She was totally amazed as she had never seen/heard anyone 'recycle food'

I consider it a waste not to do it.

A pot roast with onions, potatoes, carrots and gravy. I’ll eat it year round, but we tend to eat it more often in the winter. Even then, it’s not often so always a treat. Generally, this time of year, we’re eating some hearty soups and chili’s. I always like a nice salad but the ingredients look pathetic through winter so we get our vegetables from the types that can canned or frozen.

 

[Gumby]

Spaghetti with home canned roasted sauce made with our own Amish Paste tomatoes, and hot Italian sausage. And a nice bottle of Italian wine.

Wow, amazing that people don’t know you can make great stock from a carcass. Probably weren’t serious cooks in their family growing up.

 

[pacergal]

I use my IP/slow cooker a lot, year round:
Tomatoe soup and grilled cheese sandwich
Beans and greens/Hoppin John
Slow cook Vegetable soup
Slow cook chili
Pot roast-either beef or pork/veggies
Potatoe onion soup
Lentils w/ Feta cheese
Jambalaya
Beef noodles (prefer Amish noodles)

What is your favorite comfort meal for fall/winter?

I notice most people are listing home cooking, but are dine out or takeaway options acceptable?

 

[zangbao]

Two double jalapeno cheeseburgers from White Castle with a side order of mozzarella sticks.

 

[sparky08]

Beef vegatable soup in the crockpot.

Chicken noodle soup in the crockpot

Minestrone soup in the crockpot

Beef chili in a big pot, on the stove.

Chicken pot pie, French onion soup, shepherd’s pie

OT: pet peeve. To be shepherds pie, it should have ground mutton or lamb in it. Otherwise, it's a cottage pie.
Most places in N. America get this wrong.

Agree. That's why we make shepherd's pie at home.

These days, it's like that for me/us with most comfort food type dishes. We find we can make a better version of them at home.

I got an elk hunting in Wyoming last week. Just got it processed and tomorrow am making a big old stew from vegetables from my garden with DW and our big old hound dog. More fun day than any day working at the biggest fortune 500 company.

That’s a very specific pet peeve, lol. I actually prefer ground beef over lamb. So, guess I’m eating cottage pie.

 

[Rianne]

Polenta with roasted vegetables. The roasted vegetables add fiber and vitamins.
"Polenta is a dish made from ground cornmeal that's creamy and has a slightly sweet corn flavor. It's a staple in Northern Italy and can be eaten as a main dish or a side."

 

[wrigley]

Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Good question. Here's another:

I don't mean to be pedantic, but what is the definition of "comfort food?"

 

[imjustawarrior]

Anything savory and full of fat served warm/hot.

Nachos
broccoli cheddar soup
chili with cheese and fritos
chili with tamales
tomato soup (made with cream) and grilled cheese sandwich oozing with cheese

I think it’s a meal that brings back memories of comfort and good feelings. I believe nostalgia is involved.

 

[folivier]

Gumbo, beef vegetable soup, corn soup with shrimp, cooked on the wood stove at the cabin.

 

[CaptTom]

Without a doubt my favorite food is: Leftovers!

It's always something good which I made or bought, so I know I'm going to like it. No prep work and minimal clean-up.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. So turkey and all the fixin's is high on the list. But also this time of year I start baking bread again, and making stews and casseroles. All of which give me a lot of - you guessed it - leftovers.

I prefer "comfort" foods to "fine dining." Friends and relatives are always telling me about some hot, new, trendy (and always expensive) restaurant. If I am roped into tagging along, I'm miserable. Sitting around on an uncomfortable chair waiting for the server to take the drink order, waiting to order the main course, waiting for the food, waiting for the check, waiting for the receipt, and all the rude "how's everything here" questions from the server, when my mouth is full or I'm in the middle of a conversation, just isn't my thing. I'd rather order a pizza and eat it at my own pace in a comfy chair.

My wife makes perfect Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), much much better than the restaurants . We are in PNW, this time of the year the rain starts and it keeps going and going. Nothing better than bowl of hot Pho and ice milk coffee after that.

Yes, when we get a roasted chicken from Costco, we use the meat and then DW uses the carcas to make chicken broth so the only waste is bones and such.
