Beef Bourguignon (Crock Pot)
“We love a good comfort food recipe that warms your soul. This beef bourguignon recipe that's made in a Crock Pot is one of them. The beef is extremely tender with an essence of the red wine. It pairs well with the smokey bacon and sweet carrots. We served it over mashed potatoes and fell in love. Preparing the recipe in a slow cooker makes this an extremely easy beef bourguignon recipe.” - Kitchen Crew
Crock Pot Salisbury Meatballs

After mashing, the top is sprinkled with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of sour cream. A light sprinkling of green onion finishes off this impressive dish.” - Melissa
Spicy Sausage Gravy for Biscuits
“This is the most requested recipe that I own! Family get-togethers in our family involve the whole weekend. Kids and grandkids alike come for the 3 days and enjoy the family atmosphere. Nothing says family atmosphere like the whole family gathered around the breakfast table slurping up sausage gravy and biscuits.” - Cherie
Slow Cooker Balsamic Glazed Roast Beef
“We are getting into roast season and you really can’t get any easier than this super tasty slow cooker balsamic glazed roast beef dinner! The slow cooker is amazing for long slow braises for meat where you can literally just throw the roast into the slow cooker in the morning and let it cook all day long, completely unattended! Pot roast style roast beef is one of my favourite comfort meals and for this one the roast is braised in a tasty gravy with balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire and garlic.” - Kevin
Cassie's Comforting Chicken & Noodles
“This recipe was amazing! Both kids ate it up! I couldn’t find the Reames frozen noodles so I substituted a 24 oz package of Mary B’s frozen dumplings. My husband said it tasted just like his grandmother’s chicken and dumplings! Very high praise. We will be making again for the entire family next week when the house is full for Thanksgiving!” - Laura
Family Favorite Swiss Steak with Tomato Gravy
“Having come from a large family, we thrived on comfort foods growing up. My mother was a great cook and could take the cheapest cut of meat and turn it into something tasty and filling.” - Julie
Bacon and Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese
“Cheesy, creamy and smoky, this not a traditional macaroni and cheese recipe. We really loved the bits of bacon throughout the mac and cheese. The jalapeno adds a mild spice, but it's not overwhelming. When looking for a special treat for the family, make sure to add this recipe to your menu. Creamy and delicious!” - Kitchen Crew
Spicy Cheesy Chicken Bake
“I made this last night for a dinner party. I have been trying out all new recipes from just a pinch and this is my FAVORITE!! It was a big hit!! I just doubled the ingredients so I could serve more people and I made a separate dish without the jalapenos and chili powder for the people that don't like spicy food. I also made sure that there was one left over for me to take for lunch at work today!” - Sammi
Decadent Brie Macaroni & Cheese En Croute
“This mac & cheese is one guilty pleasure and ooh la la so French! Holds up well in the refrigerator to be prepared ahead and then build a day or two later. I enjoy creating recipes that I can prep in stages so I'm not in the kitchen for too long at the end of a big day.” - Brenda
Hungarian Chicken Paprikash Chicken and Dumplings
“This is my grandmother's version of Hungarian Chicken Paprikash. If there is food served in Heaven, I am sure this is on the menu! My grandmother was the best cook ever. She would have this hardy dish ready and we could hardly wait! Now I serve it to my grandchildren and they love it as well. Down home pure comfort food.” - Deb
Grand Burgers
“Flaky Grand Biscuits molded around juicy ground beef and cheese and tender onion and garlic for an extra zip for your taste buds.” - Karen
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
“I fell in love with the chicken bacon ranch pizza at Papa Johns, but it was too expensive. So I put my own twist on it, and I like mine better. Taste and cost wise!” - Elizabeth
Easy Stroganoff
“I came up with this recipe after experimenting with some similar stroganoff recipes. My family enjoys it because it's creamy and comforting. I like it because it's easy to make.” - Natasha

“This is a great, comfort dish. My sister gave me the recipe and I tweaked it to fit my family's taste. My friends also request this when we have pot-luck dinners. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with a salad and hot garlic bread. You'll be a hit with everyone.” - Jeanne
Cheeseburger and Fries Chowder
“This is my version of cheeseburger soup that is served in restaurants. Its my husband's favorite kind of soup so I came up with my own version just for him. He loves the addition of ‘fries’ and has been known to squirt a little ketchup in his bowl too. It's hearty and delicious even if you don't add the ketchup.” - Teresa
Baby It's Cold Outside Burger Soup
“This soup is guaranteed to warm you up from the inside out on any cold blustery day and it tastes really good too. I served my Pepper Cheese Quick Bread alongside to complete the meal.” - Grace
Dee's Smoked Mac N Cheese
“The subtle smoky flavor really shines through in this creamy and delicious macaroni and cheese. The low and slow cooking time makes the cheesy goodness meld with the macaroni which is cooked perfectly. Definitely worth the wait while this cooks on the smoker.” - Kitchen Crew
