Comfort Food Recipes

[NWFlyer 2]

We've had a couple threads on comfort food, but no recipe threads that I can find. I've spent the past few stress-filled days snarfing on one of my favorite comfort foods from growing up, a recipe that my mom got from my grandmother (dad's mom). Since it's fall and comfort food weather is setting in... let's share some recipes.

Here's mine (it's really mac & cheese on steroids)

Slumgullion

8 oz pasta
1 lb sausage
2 medium onions, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 lb sliced American cheese

Cook and drain pasta. Fry sausage, onion, and pepper together until sausage is light brown. Drain. Stir in flour and salt, and add milk. Cook until thick. Alternate layers of pasta and cheese in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Pour sausage mixture on top. Top with cheese and bake for 30 mins at 350.

Hot oatmeal with brown sugar.

Pinto beans and ham.

(I know, no imagination. I'd rather sit down with a bowl of pintos rather than ice cream any day.)

What is "comfort food" ?

Why not have both? I have a icecream maker and it can make ANY kind of icecream

I don't know how that would work. I like the beans hot. I also throw in a small piece of salt pork in addition to the ham. That would be quite a mix with ice cream.

I made dinner icecream for my kids tonight.... they werent happy with the results. One day they will learn that moms pranks will always trump theirs....


Ohhh my other comfort food is just like the above but instead of noodles use toast. I think I might go make that now.

I saved that. I love recipes that you can simmer for a while. I bought some chicken yesterday that I am going to slow cook Saturday.

People seem to define what is "supposed to be dessert" by what others say. If you think about what you really like, you'd be surprised.

It's steak that comforts me. Surprisingly I have been getting REALLY good ones from the PX lately. Thank God they finally got meat and bread down there. They used to sell only stuff that came in boxes. Now I can get a really nice rib eye. Get the grill SUPER HOT. Burn it on the outside and medium rare inside. Perfect! Ocassionally I have even been going out in town to get a potato. Add some crumbled bacon, ranch, and an ice cold Corona with a little lemon juice for the perfect, or as perfect as it's going to get in iraq, meal! My mission on this vacation is to eat as much seafood as is humanly possible. Ray's on Peachtree.............here I come! Some poor lobster is going to get it!

Are you calling my grandmother white trash?

Okay, yeah, so she was. But in the best possible way.

Open a tube of Pillsbury orange rolls. Pop 'em in the oven for 10 minutes. Slap some orange icing on top, and enjoy. comfort food at its finest :)

What made me think of that cookbook (one of my favorites) was your posting of your 'Slumgullion' recipe. They have a version of it that is sorta like beefaroni with tomatos and cheese and it is GREAT!!

Also, the chicken fried steak recipe is really good too. I LOVE cooking!
