Hey guys! Post up your favorite comfort-food recipes! Anything at all will do!

Here is one of mine. I'm a big fan of hot-dogs and beans, so I made this last night. It was awesome.

Beans 'n Weinerz:
1 can of baked beans
1/2 onion, diced
2-3 all-beef hotdogs
1.5 tbs butter
3 tbs brown sugar
hot sauce (if desired, I use stuff called Jersey Death... only needed about 3 mL)

Cut the hot dogs into round pieces, and put them in the can of beans. Start to heat the beans over medium-high heat until it boils. Put the heat back down to low.

At the same time, heat a small pan with the butter in it. If you have bacon grease, you could use that instead =D. Wait until the butter starts just starts to brown and throw in your onions and brown sugar. Sautee them until the onions are carmelized, but don't char them. Charring will cause a sandy texture in the beans.

Add the onions into your beans and stir 'em up in the beans. Simmer the beans until the hot dogs are cooked. You can put this stuff on a roll as a sandwich, eat it out of a bowl, or use it as a dip for chips. I think this would be pretty awesome also with some sauerkraut on top or mixed in, or substitute hot sauce for canned jalapenos.

Corn Bake (AKA Corn Casserole, but the BEST I've ever had)

1 Stick Butter
8 oz. Sour Cream
1 Box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
1 14.5 oz Can Creamed Corn
1 14.5 oz Can Corn Drained

Melt the butter, mix it all together, put it in a 13"x9" glass baking dish at 350F for 45-60 minutes until golden brown. Consume. I love this stuff!

We have to make 2 pans of it at Thanksgiving for 8 people if that's any indication.

It is so good. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. Let me know how it goes if you can wait that long to make it.

I like to cook in a dutch oven outside (been through scouts twice with my sons!)

Dump Cake (cuz you just dump it in!) Very easy, no eggs or oil!

Store bought chocolate cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling
half stick butter
chocolate chips
1/2 can lemon lime soda

Dump cherry pie filling in first, then add the cake mix
Cut pats of butter and space out evenly
Sprinkle chocolate chips around on top
Pour soda over top and try to wet all of the top
16 charcoal squares on top and 8 on the bottom - 30-40 minutes! MMMMMMM!

Add some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream after you spoon a steaming spoonful in your bowl!

Wow I thought the only Dutch oven was when I fart and pulll the covers over my GF's head and make her marinate in my essence! LOL! But really, I've never seen a real one, post some pics next time you do this Rob!

Had something very similar during the holidays, called corn pudding.
Goes really fast. I'll try this recipe tonight, thanks.

This is a new one that I made the other day.

2lbs small golden roasting potatoes
1 small yellow onion
1 small green pepper
2 cloves of bacon
2 slices of freshly cut thick bacon
olive oil
dried rosemary
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

1. Chop the the potatoes into bite sized pieces - put into big bowl.
2. Toss the potatoes with a decent sized amount of olive oil so the potatoes are coated, but not drenched.
3. Add salt pepper and another good sized portion of rosemary to the potatoes and toss so the spices are evenly distributed.

4. While potatoes are sitting, chop the onion, green pepper, and mince the garlic.
5. Chop the bacon in to small pieces. Set aside.

6. In a large, oven safe, frying pan with deep sides, add a small amount of olive oil.
7. Before the garlic beings to brown add the green pepper and onion. Saute until onion is golden over medium heat.
8. When the onion is golden, add the potatoes and bacon. Still over medium heat saute for 5 mins. Stir continuously so potatoes are cooked evenly.
9. Remove the frying pan from the heat and put it in the oven for 30-35 mins. When you take it out, try one potato to ensure that it is cooked. If it is not put the pan back in the oven until they are done.

REMINDER: This may seem obvious, but use an oven mitt when taking the pan out of the oven and handling it once out.

This is good with eggs for breakfast, as a side for dinner, or just by itself. Enjoy!

I'm a huge grilling man and came up with this one on the fly. Love it!!!

Steak portabella

1 Flank Steak (decent size)
4 apple smoked bacon slices
5 portabella mushrooms
Extra virgin olive oil

Tenderize the flank with meat tenderizer. Apply olive oil on both sides of the steak. Season with adobo, oregano, freshly crushed black pepper, and believe it or not Old Bay. Most people use this with seafood, but trust me, it works. Semi cook the bacon in the microwave or boil for a few minutes(Make sure not to over cook). Chop the mushrooms. Place the bacon then mushrooms on the steak and roll the flank. Once its rolled you can skure into quarters or tie with cooking string. Once it's rolled, cut into quarter sizes and grill to preference. I make this all the time and like I said it's awesome! Hope you try and enjoy.

Potato Soup

5# Russet potatoes
1 onion
1# bacon
Flour

Skin, and cube potatoes, take the skin off the onion and toss it all in the pot. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down.

Mix up some flour/water for a thickener for use later.

Cook bacon and drain.

All you do is cook till the potatoes are soft then add the bacon. Use the flour/water mixture to thicken the soup.

Bam, this will last me for quite a few days.

Here is my ultimate comfort food, Mac and Cheese:

Ingredients

1 pound elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups plus 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar

Directions

Cook the macaroni in boiling water for about 10 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain well and set aside.

In a deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux and cook, stirring, to remove any lumps. Pour in the milk and cook until the mixture is thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 2 cups Cheddar and continue to cook until melted. Add the cooked macaroni and stir. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 20 minutes. Remove the casserole from oven, top with remaining 1/2-cup cheese. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until hot and bubbly.
