Yeah.....Pretty much anything that takes me back to my grandmothers table of my childhood. She could do wonders with the simplest of ingredients. And no matter how hard I try I cant get my biscuits to be anything like hers.

My grandparents lived on the coast, fried gulf shrimp, oysters and fries or onion rings are mine. We would always call them on a pay phone (this was hundreds of years ago) when we were an hour out, and it would all be frying when we walked through the door.
 
With cool rainy weather got me thinking about Comfort Food. I seen Keith Salisbury steak thread and that said now that's my kind of Comfort Food. What your go to Comfort Food?
That overcast day being yesterday with snow in SW Michigan brought Chili to mind! Going to college in Milwaukee fall, snow and cold brought us to "Real Chili". IT rolled on a Cincy style plaform Chili, options were beans or no beans on top.. And spaghetti on the bottom if you wanted it. Always schredded cheddar for me with vinegar and and extra chili powder!
 
Tater Tot Hot Dish There;s usually one in the freezer for comfort emergencies

Lightly browned burger & onions mixed with a can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup and a can of Campbells cream of celery. Spread the mix in a square pan and cover it with tater tots. Heat it up till it's hot and the tater tots brown.
Great entry to this!

Looks great Ray - you grind your own burgers from brisket???

I've always ground mine from Prime chuck roasts but I've been thinking about trying a brisket one of these days...
 
Any kind of throw-together soup with any kind of meat.

Dang, I'm hungry.
My wife and I call the above soup "Jesus Soup" because I usually make a huge pot out of stuff that's aging in the fridge. Tonight was inspired by this thread. Turned out GREAT.
