Help Support :

Chili con Carne
Pot Roast
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Beef stew made with cheap beer (My mom's recipe, which I sure she got off of a box of something)
Leg of Lamb with roasted root vegetables
Baked Butternut Squash with Sausage
Pineapple upsidedown cake from the Betty Crocker box recipe
Chicken and Dumplings
 
Almost anything Potato

Especially, baked, (in an oven, not a microwave!), or mashed. Or the warm German potato salad. In addition to the bacon, sometimes I will add slices of cooked Kielbasa.

Oxydolfan mentioned Onion Soup. I like to top mine with a cheese blend...Parmesan (or Romano) and Monterey Jack. Parmesan for sharpness, Monterey for melting.

There's a chili recipe in the '97 Joy of Cooking called "Ohio Farmhouse Chili" or something like that, and I am going to try it next week. It calls for bulk (roll) sausage instead of ground beef. I'll let you know.

Chili isn't chili without cornbread, and I like mine more Southern, which means without sugar, or at the most a very little sugar. Most cornbread mixes are too sweet.

A pot roast goes well in the cooler weather, and you excellent people have posted some good variations.

Apple Crisp (crumble) is marvellous. I like to make the topping with melted real butter, brown sugar, some flour, and raw oatmeal, combine well, and scatter over the sliced apples.

Tonight for supper here in N. Central WI it is homemade chicken dumpling soup with warm buttered french bread. It is supposed to get down to 38 degrees here this evening. Perfect soup weather!
 
Chili
Chili Mac
Frito Pie
Vegetable, beef & barley soup
anything pasta with cheese
baked pasta
meat loaf

rise
home made pudding that's still warm

Lawrence, bulk sausage makes ANYTHIG taste even better that can be substituted for ground meat
 
I love this time of year when I can cook up a storm and not have to worry about the heat. Usually when its cool and rainy I love to make a beef stew or a pot roast. Plus I will make bread and bake a cake.
In the winter on a snowy day I like to make a spagehetti sauce from scratch. I start it in the morning and cook it all day long. I usually combine a Roa's cookbook recipie with Lidias sugo sauce...and man what a combo. Plus with the herbs I grew in the garden and froze it makes for good eats.
Sometimes I get in the mood for roasting a whole chicken and have mashed potatoes with gravy. I love to convection roast since it cooks faster yet it seals in the juices of the meat. The skin gets very crispy. Most of the time if I bake anything I will use Convection bake and I can tell you that cakes baked that way come out moist and perfect.
