Comfort Food Recipes?

Question

I don't like cheese or BBQ sauce.

Why are you assuming that I don't know exoctic ingredients?
If I had asked for a Mexican food recipe would you have told me to go to the Taco Bell website?
Seriously... you shouldn't make assumptions about my IQ.

Answer 1

You can't go wrong with my North Carolina-born mother's fried chicken:

Fried Chicken – as taught by my mother Helen

1 cut up fryer, skinned (you may substitute legs or breasts only if preferred)
1 cup all-purpose flour (or more)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Ground mustard (to taste)
Paprika (to taste)
1 egg, beaten
½ cup ice-cold milk or buttermilk
1 stick of butter-flavored Crisco

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Put flour and the spices in a paper or plastic bag and shake 'em up. Mix the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl until it is frothy.

Take each piece of chicken and dip in the egg wash. Then place each piece individually into your bag and shake it up until it is thoroughly coated. (One piece per shake.) If you run low of flour/spices, just replenish as necessary.

Melt the Crisco in the hot skillet. As soon as it is totally melted, add your chicken and fry. You can turn the heat down to medium if it is browning too fast.

Turn chicken after 3-5 minutes. Make sure all sides are uniformly brown. Remove from grease and drain on a paper towel.

Good side dishes: mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, string beans, candied yams, greens, salad...whatever you like.

I also like to serve biscuits with fried chicken, but corn bread will do in a pinch. Don't forget the peach cobbler for dessert.

Now THAT is good eatin'.

Go to the bookstore & buy a Soul Food cookbook & a Southern cookbook. You should be able to find plenty of things you like between the two. That's the beauty of southern comfort cooking - you can always tweek the recipe to suit your personal taste......Have fun experimenting!!

Answer 4

go to a used book store and buy yourself an old Betty Crocker cook book, many old recipes in there and not cluttered with exotic ingredients that you have never heard of. I had no intention of insulting your intelligence, you wanted comfort food and old time comfort food usually has ingredients that you have on hand. Sorry you were offended, not my intention.

Answer 5

Forget the recipes. Go to the store and get a bag of Oreo's and a gallon of milk.

Comfort....you bet!

Answer 6
