Food for the winter???

Question

Do you have any signature dish that you make once the cold weather starts to creep in?
My mother always makes a pot of stew and every year during the colder months.

What is your favorite dish to cook or eat when it starts to get colder out?

All the answers so far are making me really hungry lol

Answer 1

Chicken pot pie, French onion soup, beef stew, chilli, chicken crab corn chowder...... I could go on and on...

Answer 2

I usually cook out most of the time in the summer. I hate the thought of heating up the house even with the air on. So when it finally gets cool out here are some of my faves.
turkey and dressing
chili
chicken & noodles
baked potato soup
chicken and green pepper and mushrooms over rice
stuffed pork chops
ham and beans and corn bread
beef stew

Answer 3

Home made soups. I try to make a different one every week or so. My soups rarely taste the same twice, because the ingredients and proportions change each time. When it's really cold I like to eat chowder. If I make too much I either freeze the leftovers or give it to my dad who lives alone and really doesn't cook.

Answer 4

Stewed Chicken, mashed potatoes. Beef stew with lots of vegetables. Soups of all kinds. Casserole dishes.

Answer 5

We love brisket & barley with white beans.
Mom used to make it on the days there was no time to cook.
It is a no brainer & easy.
Once you put it together you can leave it for hours!
This is great for families that eat at different times.
Soak beans & barley overnight & drain.
Place in large baking pan or casserole.
Leave room for rest of ingredients.
Brown brisket well & place on top of barley & beans.
Saute tons of onion, garlic until light brown.
Do not burn the garlic.
If you are veggie lovers then add carrots, celery mushrooms, etc.
Place on top of brisket.
Add enough water or broth to cover.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Cover and bake at 275 degrees for approx. 6 to 8 hours.
The longer the better.
I used to start this in the morning before work.
Then all I had to do was make a salad & dinner was done!
Clean up is super easy as well.

Hope you enjoy as much as my family does.

Answer 6

Hi. I love to cook and I make some dishes for my family. When it starts getting cold outside, I always make a big pot of chili, homemade lagasne, homemade chicken noodle soup, roasted chicken or turkey, and of course pumpkin pies. :)

Answer 7

Best Chili in Texas

3 pounds cubed beef
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons boullion, Beef granules
1 teaspoon boullion, Chicken granules
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons MSG
6 tablespoons chili powder
1 split jalapeno chili pepper (leave this off if you don't want it
so hot)

Briefly sear meat and then add chili pepper tied in cheese cloth sack, paprika, onion powder, cayanne pepper, boullion granules, tomato sauce and water to cover. Simmer, covered, for 1-1/2 hours or so. Add cumin, garlic powder,
MSG, black pepper, and chili powder. Cook for another 30 minutes or until meat is tender. Remove cheese cloth sack with jalapeno pepper and serve.

Beans, ( I have found pintos to be best) prepared and served on the side to be added after serving. Same with cheese, onions, or what have you.

Makes 6 servings

Answer 8

chicken and dumplings. A pot of chili, then use the leftover chili to make enchiladas or nachos or frito pies.
I use my oven a lot more in the winter, because it helps heat my house. I cook anything that takes a while to cook...roast, smoked brisket in the oven, etc.
Stews and soups are good.

Answer 9

Chicken soup with vegetables is great for those cold winter nights. My mother also makes a pasta casserole (pasta, mozzarella cheese, mixed veggies, and spices to taste) that is really good.

Answer 10

Chili and Homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles. Meat Pie/Pasties is another favorite winter meal in our house. (Ground beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and butter in a pie crust, baked in the oven.)
