I don’t know that I could pick just one, but anything chicken is my favorite. It’s a staple around here because it’s inexpensive. Crock Pot shredded chicken is going and so is the Chicken Pot Pie.
The dish that best reminds me of home would have to be “Mississippi Mud Cake”! Even though I have tried many times to replicate my Mom’s recipe I have yet to conquer it.
My grandmas chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes remind me of home! She uses real butter in her potatoes which is why they’re the best.
I think it would Pork Roast and Veggies.
Meatloaf
Pineapple upside down cake! My mom’s is the best. Or maybe her fried chicken. Heck, anything she made in her vintage cast iron skillets always came out mouth watering and memorable.
Pork roast & pork chops always take me home ๐
pot roast! love the roast shredded over mashed potatoes!
Cornbread with shelly beans and a slice of onion reminds me of home.
Pork roast and veggies please!
the pot roast and veggies making it next week thank you for a chance to win have a great day
The dish that reminds me of home is my dear departed Mother’s homemade cabbage rolls. I can taste them right now.
Homemade spaghetti reminds me of home.
Fried chicken!
Crock pot roast and vegetables. Mom always made this every Sunday. Still has a special place in my heart.
Beef and noodles and mashed potatoes!
Pot roast and veggies always brings warm memories of the Sunday dinners at home!!!!!
Southern style Potato Salad reminds me of family barbecues especially around the 4th oh July. I’m a southern gal through & through!
Baked chili – basically a really thick chili cooked in a cast iron skillet. And what neighbor kids and family friends called “June Colip brownies”. Friends still rave about them.
I love slow pot cooking beef anything
My goodness it has to be good ‘ole Macaroni and Cheese, an all American favorite ๐ Thanks for the opportunity!
OMG I’d been searching for some good old Southern Home Recipes and it doesn’t get any better than these home cooking recipes, Roasted Red Pepper Pimento Cheese, Barbeque Chicken, and Southern Fried Pies. They remind me of my Grandmother’s home cooking! Simpy just YUMMY!
Loaded twice baked potato casserole. Yummy!!!
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and buttermilk biscuits speak home and love to me.
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, etc. are not really “Southern” cooking. My mother was half German and meatloaf was one of our favorite dinners when I was growing up in Pennsylvania. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is no more Southern than I am.
Cajun chicken reminds me the most of home. Can’t wait to try it
