America's Best Comfort Food???

Saw this article on Comfort food at home and on the road. Thought I'd ask the foodaholics at Roadfood. What comfort food do you indulge in at home? Where do you go to eat a comforting meal out? What would be on your comfort food list? In our home, Sunday pasta is a tradition that I continue in our home...also a great meatloaf...and some of my mom's depression dishes from my childhood in the 50's....all serve as a relaxing stimulus. Your thoughts?

Meatloaf, Pot Roast, Oven Stuffer Roaster, Baked taters, LeSeur sp?, peas.

Macaroni and cheese, a stuffed roasted chicken, and my grandmother's  recipe for cabbage soup.

On second thought, all BBQ!

I'm enjoying your comments. Anyone order comfort food out? What and where?

Home -- pasta, meatloaf, stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, pot roast, toasted cheese sandwiches.
 
Out -- meatloaf, stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, braciole, hot turkey sandwiches, hot roast beef sandwiches.

What can u tell us about grandma's soup ???

Meat loaf, pot roast, ham

Gnocchi, beef stew, Italian lentil soup.  I don't go out for comfort food cuz it's too good at home.

A baked potato. Bake it and top it how ever you like. So many options yet it's always good and a cheap way to fill the void.

leechef,
  Boy does my wife make a great lentil soup,using Italian sausage in the soup!!! Comfort personified.

I love a batch of Beef Stroganoff this time of year.

Roast beef with gravy and mashed potatoes (leftovers make great hot roast beef sandwiches), mac and cheese, chili, on occasion I'll get a corned beef "kit" and make ruebens.

This soup is wonderful on a cold winter's day.  I have made it twice this winter and going to make it again, soon.  You MUST serve it with good rye bread !
