What Are Dishes That Work In Colder Weather For You?

Spagetti and chili aside, everyone's go to's will probably be number 1's.

I have a layered ground beef, egg noodle, sour cream casserole that is unreal! Reheats like fresh. We love, love that one!

I love homemade vegetable beef soup when I have the time to make it. I was never fond of the ground beef version.

I love stew beef with veggies cooked all day in the crock pot.

Noodle Bake

1 ½ lbs. high quality ground beef

1 ½ tsp garlic

2 14.5 oz cans tomato sauce

1 pkg medium egg noodles

1 Tbsp butter, plus 2 Tbsp.

1 16 oz sour cream

1 lg softened cream cheese

Optional: 2 Tbsp. chives

In large skillet, brown and well drain ground beef.

Add tomato sauce, and garlic and simmer about 20 minutes .

Butter 3 qt casserole and place a side.

In bowl, mix sour cream and softened cream cheese.

(I use my hand mixer).

Hand stir chives in.

Cook egg noodles aldente with oil in the water to prevent clumping.

Drain and toss lightly with 2 tbsp butter.

In buttered 3 qt casserole layer:

1/2 of the noodles

1/2 of the cheese mixture

1/2 of the meat mixture.

Repeat layers in same order.

Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 min. Cheese may be covered to prevent browning.

May be made a day ahead, refrigerated and cooked for 1 hour.

@ECBG Everything you mentioned sounds great. I almost never eat canned soup--I use it for cooking, but like homemade soup. Your casserole sounds terrific.

Chicken pot pie. Home made! Chicken and dumplings.

Roast beef with carrots and potatoes. Sausage and biscuits.

Pork roast with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Do the roast and sauerkraut in slow cooker.

Stewed chicken and the big, fluffy dumplings done in pressure cooker.

Beef stew also with dumplings.

@ECBG I like sausage with broccoli rabe and whole wheat pasta. I especially like it when our local supermarket makes their store-made sausage with provolone and broccoli rabe! But any sausage works. You could also use kale if the broccoli rabe is too expensive. The original recipe calls for orcchiette, but I think this stands up to whole wheat pasta.

I'll sure take it, sounds delish!

Being a southern girl, I would have to add chicken and dumplings, like others!

@PA Mom-mom Exactly what I am making this week! I have a Shop Rite from home delivery coming tomorrow and their sausage with provolone and broccoli rabe was on sale this week, so it is part of my order. I also love the whole wheat pasta.

@ECBG ~ We've been in a deep feeeze for the past two weeks. It's -3, but with wind chill, feels like -10. Yesterday afternoon, I made Italian sausage (sweet and hot) with roasted potatoes, green and red peppers, onions, mushrooms, and whole cloves of garlic.

this is a favorite, and hits the spot, whether freezing or not! I also

made some white barszcz (borscht). (A classic Polish Easter dish)

Two dishes I make only in the winter are roast pork butt (cheapest and tastiest cut) with roasted potatoes and carrots and gravy, and chicken with homemade egg noodles and mashed potatoes.

I make more pies in the winter. Too much oven time to make in the summer.

There are some really good recipes in Top Secret Recipes book.

They taste exactly like the restaurant they're named after.

I've made a few things from his book. Sometimes the ingredients seem a little 'weird' but that's because sometimes it's difficult for the average cook to get some of the items so he substitutes things we are all familiar with.

I've given all of his books to family and friends. Some of Todd Wilbur's recipes are free on his website.

@FlyersGirl That's probably why I have it on my mind. I saw the coupon this week and will buy it tomorrow when I can also get the senior discount! It is so perfect with the ShopRite sausage!

Chicken parmesan with lots of melted mozzarella and linguine with crusty Italian garlic bread. Yum!

I make pork chops with sauerkraut & a little applesauce in the slow cooker. Soo good!
