French Onion Soup with delicious crouton and cheese baked on top!
What Is Your Favourite Cold Weather Comfort Food?

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!

My mom always makes chilli with 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 Jimmy Dean hot sausage. Adds a whole different flavor to it, which is great.

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.

I almost forgot to include the quintessential Italo American comfort food - orichiette pasta with broccoli rabe aglio e olio (olive oil and sauteed garlic), with sausage (usually hot or sweet Italian sausage cut into little nuggets and pan fried until crisp and browned. Not terribly elegant, but tasty and soul warming. Ahhh........
OOh, Anthony that does sound outstanding. And it's pasta!!!! and broccoli, my favorite vegetable.
