Comfort Food Recipes

Whether you’re in the mood for something warm, cheesy or full of carbs, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re craving.

We all have our own ideas about what makes a dish comforting. For some of us it’s the meltey, cheese-topped goodness of chicken Parmesan; for others, the stick-to-your-ribs feeling you get when you tuck into a pile of potatoes. There’s one thing we can all agree on, though — and that’s the idea that comfort food shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why we love these no-fuss recipes. They’re flavorful and satisfying (and exactly what you want to eat when you’re in the mood for some good, old-fashioned comfort) but they’re also completely doable. From baked pasta and meatloaf to fried chicken and pizza, you’ll be cooking up all your favorites in no time. Looking for a place to start? We recommend this twist on macaroni and cheese. It’s got all the elements of the classic dish but adds a healthy dose of hot sauce to make you feel extra warm and cozy with every bite!

Combine a great burger with a beloved breakfast combo (bacon, egg and cheese)and youve got the ultimate comfort food.

When your familys favorite hot appetizer meets weeknight convenience, everyone wins. This creamy dish is quick and easy — and it even sneaks in a good serving of vegetables.

Love golden-brown fried chicken but hate all of the actual work of frying? Bake the chicken on wire racks to ensure maximum crispiness.

You’ll want to melt right into this cheesy flatbread — with its crispy edges, toasted top and soft, buttery center. Yum!

Ingredients:

• 9 dry lasagna noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 3 cups tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 + 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated and divided
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Add lasagna noodles, olive oil and salt and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm), or according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside in the pot.
3. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the oil is sizzling hot. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Add onion and garlic. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender. Pour tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt and parsley. Stir well to mix and bring the meat sauce to a simmer. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes uncovered. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan, beaten egg, and parsley. Stir well to combine together.
5. :
6. Noodles: Place 3 lasagna noodles evenly apart over the meat sauce.
7. Cheese: Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
8. Sauce: Spread 1/2 the remaining meat sauce on top.
9. Noodles: Top with another layer of 3 lasagna noodles.
10. Cheese: Spread remaining half of cheese mixture.
11. Noodles: Top with last 3 pieces of lasagna noodles.
12. Sauce: Add remaining meat sauce on top.
13. Shredded cheese: Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
14. Lightly grease a large piece of aluminum foil and cover the pan with the greased side inside. Greasing the foil prevents the melted cheese from sticking to the foil while baking. Bake the lasagna covered for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the melted cheese turns golden brown and bubbly. Optionally, turn on broiler on high and broil for 3-4 minutes to get a crispy and brown cheesy crust. But keep a close eye on the broiler as things can burn quickly.
15. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving.
