What's Your FAVORITE comfort food

[Gummy-Bear]

ice cream.

[OregonYeti]

Spaghetti and meatballs, or tomato soup (Campbell's will do) with cubes of cheese melted in it.

Interesting. A 'comfort food' thread from 2002 is competing, so to speak, with one from 2004. It could be from 1974, or 1952, or whenever. You'll always have your basic, timeless classics to fuel the belly and form the smile.

Roast beef, potatoes and carrots roasted in the pan with the meat juices, gravy made from all the pan juices (so its loaded with fat).

Campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Chocolate,
chocolate,
chocolate.

hmmm,,, depending on my mood:

A potato, ham, and cheese casserole...at least the one I make anyway

Pepperoni Pizza with extra sauce and cheese...mmmmmmmm

Po' Man Enchiladys,..... a family recipe involving lotsa ground beef, lotsa red onions as part of a thick marinara sauce, lotsa cheese and (secret ingredient) the saltine crackers that are formed in 4 to a square to make and separate layers of sauce and cheese. this usually is in the old 9x13 pan, well 2 of them...3 at most

p.s. i don't wanna hear that the crackers will get soggy, they do and they don't, meaning they work great if ya do it right.

A new favorite for the day. I was fixing my wife a BLT sandwich - so make bacon my favorite comfort food. For now, at any rate.

The carrots were exceptional also.

On further reflection, I neglected to mention what my folks knew and loved as "Greasy Old Spaghetti." It may have been a Missouri thing.

Back in the day when choice, garbage-fed pigs had some real fat on them, she'd put some almost-cooked spaghetti in a pan, and a pork roast on a rack above, and roast it so the copious drippings would land in the spaghetti.

With a little salt and a LOT of black pepper, it was sensational. We try to duplicate it with olive oil nowadays, but it just isn't the same.

I guess I gotta find me an heirloom hog.
