Favorite Cold Weather Meals

[John Gusmano]

Those of you that know me, know that my second passion is cooking. I wanted to start this thread to ask the question….

What is your favorite cold weather meal to make?

You know, when you look outside and everything is frosted with snow, or COVERED in the white stuff, and you just want to do some cooking. In my opinion, when it’s cold outside, it needs to be smelling good inside!

I’ll start; My favorite thing to cook when it’s cold out would have to be my chili. It warms you up and you can pick on it all day.

Ok fellas, let’s hear it…….

Yea thats a no brainer. Chili has to be #1 on the list.

My simple Sheppard's Pie... In a deep dish, first browned hamburger, then cream corn and top off with mashed potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or till potatoes start to brown slightly. A favorite comfort food dish, I like it served with good potato dinner rolls with lots of butter! Followed up with coffee and dessert. More pie! Apple, Pumpkin, Cherry...

Chicken noodle soup. Homemade, with thick, wide Amish noodles. Couple thick slices of toasted, buttered sourdough bread for a side.

Same for me CJ, except I like some corn bread with mine. I like to let it simmer for days and just keep grubbing on it.

Shepards pie oh boy,love that,it's even better a couple days later. But my favorite would be venison chili.

I like some venison stew on the stove when it's cold out. Like some you said you can keep picking at it. Also reminds me why I go out in the cold to deer hunt.

After a cold/wet morning in the blind, I like to come home and make myself some poutine. Nothing warms me up like homemade, hand cut French fries, with some burger, dressing, peas, stringy cheese and molten hot gravy covering the whole works...

[John Gusmano]

Wow! Never heard of that! Sounds good!

[markfitz]

Can't beat a good game stew.

Another meal I like in the middle of the winter is a picnic; Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Baked Beans, Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad, Lemonade... Sometimes I even turn up the heat a little!

One more and a favorite, Baked Macaroni & Cheese and piping hot coffee while ice fishing. Hows that for a Cold Weather Meal!

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. Some peas and a couple of buttered dinners rolls. Followed up with coffee and pie...

[swampcat]

For lunch, I just went out to the garden, picked a few collard greens, and some dino kale. Came in washed it up pulled the stems out of it..

fried up 4 slices of bacon chopped up one onion stirred it up good.. put the greens in and fried it all up had to add a little water just to steam them down

well.. I cut them with a knife while cooking, turn them so they all cook down, cook till tender about 30 minutes I reckon. warmed up a little cornbread.. it was

good..

This post just inspired me to raid the freezer and make sum soup.
