What are your favorites?

Are they different in camp than at home?

...either a big ol' bowl of my award winnin' chili or an even larger bowl of the wife's(aka the poor girl) famous vegatable BEEF soup...inside or outside...of course for breakfast on a cold nasty morning, it is garlic, cheese grits with some red pepper over hot sourdough toast and some smoked sausage...can't nuthin' beat any of 'em for me

Comfort foods to me means warm foods...

Dig out any Betty Crocker cookbook, and chances are you've found a good warm comfort food.

Now if I really stressed out, you'd better bring on some real comfort... ie. brownies, chocolate chip cookies, or raisin oatmeal cookies, all fresh out of the oven of course, still hot and steaming...

Otherwise, any normal food would work..

Chili
Meatloaf
Roast chicken
Hamburgers
Pot roast
Stroganoff
Steak

you get the idea...

Mike...

P.S. When the folks got off the bus from N.O to Texas, what were they asking for? Hamburgers and Coke... (Food for thought) right, wrong, or indifferent...

All right, here's one for y'all:

1 cups stone ground cornmeal
3 cups water
generous pinch salt
two cloves minced garlic
10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
generous pinch chipotle pepper

Bring water and salt to a boil in a heavy pan. Stir in meal and bring back to a boil, stirring constantly. Add spices and cook until thickened. Stir in cheese; turn into a greased pan and bake until top is golden-brown.

This is comfort food to me...IRISH STEW
My uncle taught me this one, and I have not changed a thing.
Stew meat, Beef or your choice. Brown in BIG STEW pot, brown hot and fast to seal in juices, add a whole garlic and a BIG Valedella Onion or even two. I use two like he did, chop big chunks and fast fry with the meat still in, get the juices going together.
Now add a cup of Black berry wine to deglaze the pan of meat and onions, I have tried Rum here before and has successful results. Beer does nice as well.
Now the rest is fast and easy, a med size can of each is added with juices.
1 CAN CORN
1 CAN GREEN BEANS
2 CAN MIXED VEGGIES
2 CANS OF WHOLE NEW POTATOES
1/2 CUP BARLEY
1 ZUCCHINI CHOPPED IN CHUNKS
1 PACKAGE OF MUSHROOMS CHOPPED IN CHUNKS

Now bring to boil, and reduce to low to simmer.. I let mine go for at least 3 hours. This one is excellent in the crock pot as well. Or on a campsite, use the dutch oven and cover for the day sitting next to the fire.

Just before your ready to serve break out a batch of southern sweet cornbread and honey.
:applause:
Im hungry already... this is comfort to me.
By the way, this makes enough for 4 to 6 people. And of course ALWAYS better the next day.
Many times I make on one day and serve it the next day.
:R
If you like "heat" add a dash of chipotle pepper to it. Gives it a smokey heat taste.
Enjoy
