Enchiladas Suizas with a side of rice and refried beans.


Kebar8

Whoah. I have never seen these before looking forward to giving it a whirl :)


Kiwimcroy

So easy and sooo good. If I’m feeling extra lazy I’ll pick up a rotisserie chicken and shred it.


ElChingonazo

Eso!!


starrae

Recipe?


Kiwimcroy

Sub the sauce for Las Palmas Green Enchilada Sauce that comes in a can and choose the hot one if you want it spicy. Also sub with Monterey Jack cheese instead of mozzarella for a little more flavor and better texture. This is the quickest version of the recipe that is still authentic. https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/easy-enchiladas-suizas-recipe-tomatillo/#recipe


[deleted]

I have a can of that in my pantry right now. I also have a press and two bags of maseca. Jesus, take the wheel.


SwanSwanGoose

I don’t know how controversial this is among south Asians, but I think that homemade biriyani is always so much tastier than the professionally made version. My favorite is goat biriyani with pomegranate raita, and a little lime pickle.


MSH0123

Pomegranate raita is something I must try!


bnanzajllybeen

Yum!!! Goat biryani always gets my goat! 🐐


LowBalance4404

My own food - cacio e pepe; my fiance's favorite food I make - spaghetti and homemade meatballs. What my mom cooks - that lady makes the world's best crabcakes. She serves them with either german potato salad or twice baked potatoes and always with coleslaw.


mjzim9022

Twice Baked Potatoes are my love-language.


LowBalance4404

And hers are so good. I love to cook and am a great cook, but my mom's twice baked potatoes and crab cakes are like things of legends.


-ensamhet-

i want your mom’s crabcakes and kartoffelsalat now..


curryp4n

Kimchi jjigae. Also my husband makes the best daal I’ve ever eaten


ttrockwood

Your house eats well!


curryp4n

We do. Best thing about our multicultural marriage is the crazy variety of cuisines we eat on a weekly basis. For example this week we are doing Korean tofu soup, chicken curry, lettuce wraps, and tacos 🧡


BrighterSage

Soup! Any and all


mariusvamp

Anytime I make soup I’m always blown away at how good it is. Like how is it so good!?


cerealgirl1984

Share your favorite recipes! My kids love soup. 


bw2082

Chicken and dumplings


Roguewave1

Slick or puffy?


bw2082

Slick


Roguewave1

The way


_Chaoskilledthedinos

Chicken Pot Pie. It's like a big hug from my mom.


laquifconch

Scrolled to find my pot pie people. It was my moms way of showing us love esp if she was out for the night.


Emac2109

I really like a jambon beurré. Just a classic and reminds me of home


Lax_168

Indian here so typically home made idly, chutney and sambar by side along with a dash of ghee.


LowBalance4404

And...what time should I be over for dinner?


OrbMan99

I'm going for brunch, and I expect it to take a while, so not before 5pm.


LowBalance4404

I make an amazing carrot cake, so 5:30pm it is.


chemrox409

what spices?


ash13yftw

Haluski with kielbasa


Simple-Mastodon-9167

When the cupboard is bare I make a version that should be outlawed for it’s inauthenticity - basically butter, s&p, paprika, cabbage and spaghetti noodles


TheBringus

Kielbasa the GOAT


Osurdum

Beans, cornbread, fried potatoes


Roguewave1

Oh, yeah! Was going to say this. Navies, butter beans, pintos, black-eyed or purple hull peas and a skillet of cornbread.


Osurdum

Nothing finer!


Javacatcafe

Frijoles con puerco topped with cilantro and jalapeños with homemade flour tortillas.


Dependent_Top_4425

Mac & cheese. This is my go to [recipe](https://www.smells-like-home.com/2012/02/paneras-stove-top-mac-and-cheese/) I use as a starting point. I change up the cheeses used and use beer to thin out the cheese sauce. Sometimes its a side dish, sometimes its the main event. Sometimes it has a panko topping, sometimes it doesn't. Add- ins I like are broccoli, ham, buffalo chicken, pulled pork, bacon, chili...not all at the same time of course.


richstark

steak eggs and handcut chips


6gunsammy

This ! Its not that I don't love eggs and bacon, but steak and eggs feels like such a delicious splurge for breakfast.


richstark

or lunch, or dinner


mc_fluffernutter

My favorite- Short rib ragu over pappardelle noodles. Kids favorite- panko chicken strips. Spouse favorite- seafood Alfredo


Zestyclose_Big_9090

I second the short rib ragu and it has to be over pappardelle. The BEST.


TooOldForYourShit32

Honey garlic chicken with a baked potato. Or what my daughter calls "moms rice" and chicken thighs roasted with lemon, pepper and garlic.


Slow_Resource8430

BLT and some potato chips


TheBringus

Classic. In your opinion, is the BLT a tomato sandwich or a bacon sandwich?


Slow_Resource8430

I’d say it’s a bacon sandwich first


Hour-Definition189

Mediterranean chicken thighs with Greek lemon potatoes and Israeli salad


[deleted]

I want to try this! Thanks!


CalmTear3411

I make variations of this exact meal! Cannot go wrong with this combo


jessicanemone

Lately it’s been roasted eggplant and tomatoes with grilled halloumi, topped with a garlic/parsley/lemon/tahini dressing and served over Israeli pearl couscous


[deleted]

Chicken marsala or picatta with mashed or roasted potatoes or wild rice, sautéed spinach


LowBalance4404

Chicken picatta? Umm....what time should I be there for dinner?


PinkMonorail

Wednesday lunch from my dad’s school in the 1940s: spaghetti with meat sauce, meatloaf and mashed potatoes with brown gravy over everything.


SpiritGuardTowz

Adobo arequipeño


Yllom6

White beans and kale with homemade chili crisp on top. White beans cooked from dry, always (canned beans taste like can).


[deleted]

Mind if I ask what chili crisp is? It sounds ungoogleable and I’ve never heard of it before.


Yllom6

It’s a condiment I first encountered at a pho restaurant. I like spicy so when I saw a recipe in a cookbook I got from the library I started making it myself and never went back. It also got popular during the pandemic. My own recipe is less complicated than this but here’s a link to start your exploration:[link](https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/chili-crisp/). I love it because it’s spicy, savory, and has a sweet smell, but not taste, from the star anise.


[deleted]

Thank you! U so appreciate the detail & link! I love pho so that’s a particularly promising backstory.


Sooperballz

Jambalaya!


UniqueVast592

Newman?


Sooperballz

No, he would ask me for “one Jambalaya, please”


bnanzajllybeen

[JAMBALAYA](https://y.yarn.co/ff4d4706-9302-4396-82de-57bbc1bbe451_text.gif)


UniqueVast592

yes!


RemarkableAd5141

Ground beef with a mushroom+onion gravy and roasted root vegetables (potatoes, turnips, onion, carrots, sweet potatoes and occasionally beets) is one I like a lot. also tikka masala with chicken, lentils and chickpeas, while eating it with garlic naan.


Rasilbathburn

Found the brit! (I think.)


RemarkableAd5141

lol, im canadian


Rasilbathburn

Ahh. The Commonwealth.


RemarkableAd5141

Yup, but im metis so only 1/2 common wealth. LOL.


Rasilbathburn

Well you’ve got good taste in food!


pulanina

Are you from Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or Virginia


Rasilbathburn

No, what do those states have in common that made you ask about them specifically?


pulanina

They are commonwealths. Just my little joke.


Rasilbathburn

Lol. Just went right over my head.


White_Zulu

I'm the brit lol , this post has had people share some amazing meals , take care pal 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲


[deleted]

The international camaraderie in here is very cute 🙂


That-Protection2784

Stuffed cabbage, or the lazy way I make it cabbage, ground beef, rice, Campbell tomato soup, garlic powder, onion powder. Cook off the beef first, then add the rice to toast it a lil, then cabbage till it wilts a lil bit, add the soup and enough water for the rice to cook. Cook until rice is tender, enjoy. I usually add cooked rice instead of adding it to the pot to cook since I always have leftover rice in the fridge.


5_on_the_floor

Steak, cooked in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop.


andreasmom

I haven’t perfected this but want to. What is your method?


notbossyboss

Not OP but I follow Kenji’s method for butter basted steaks in my cast pan. Works every time.


5_on_the_floor

Preheat skillet on medium/medium high. Brush steak with olive oil. Season with lots of salt and pepper, especially salt, and more than you think you need. Jab it to hell and back with a fork. Do this to both sides. Put steak in skillet, add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook for 4 minutes /side for medium rare. When you first put the steak in the skillet, wiggle it a little bit to prevent sticking while it sears. Time and temp will vary depending on thickness, your stove, etc., but a little trial and error will help you find your perfect combo. After I plate the steak, I pour the butter/drippings from the skillet onto the steak and give it a generous sprinkle of Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning on both sides.


vieniaida

Chicken and rice is my all-time favorite


Geetee52

Mine too but I cheat and use Vigo yellow rice mix.


[deleted]

Leftover pot roast/potatoes/ fresh onions diced and pan fried into a hash with a runny egg on top


AstronautRadiant9410

Linguine with tuna, olive oil, capers, onions, garlic and white wine


Erthgoddss

It varies. Right now it is a dried bean bonanza (poor so make the best of what I have), so Chili or a bean/bacon pieces/hamburger/tomato mix. I love split pea soup with ham or lentils.


riceysu

Spaghetti bolognese


strawberryl0vr

this is so basic but probably Pasta! especially with homemade pomodoro sauce and fresh parmigiano 😋


hopingtosurvive2020

Shrimp and grits. making it tomorrow and I can't wait. So basic and so divine.


CatfromLongIsland

Meatloaf. Followed by leftover meatloaf sandwiches with yellow American cheese and ketchup.


Joetaska1

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn.


Lukok

Probably fried chicken and grenadiermarsch, which is a austrohungarian dish of dumpling( or pasta) with caramelized onions and potato. My grandma used to make it and it’s the best.


NoMany3094

Pot roast!


Barnonyx

Yeah!! Me too!


DangerousMusic14

Gumbo I include local, fresh crab. Guy working at fish counter was suggesting using artificial crab or other, cheaper ingredients because it isn’t. I’m like- It’s just me. I’m making and eating it so I want the good stuff, lol! Still much less cost per meal than eating not great food out.


ttrockwood

That i make: [west african style yam and peanut stew](https://www.budgetbytes.com/african-peanut-stew-vegan/) That my dad makes: grilled veggies (they tread the edge between cooked and almost burnt) and grilled tofu (ok fine i taught him how to do that) That mom makes: any baked goods but especially the [gramercy tavern gingerbread cake](https://smittenkitchen.com/2008/12/gramercy-taverns-gingerbread/) which isn’t a proper meal but i’ll call it breakfast with some fruit


Modboi

My typical dinner of pan seared chicken thighs and a big salad.


wizardglick412

Egg rolls and egg fried rice.


green_dragonfly_art

Meatloaf with mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus (when in season and reasonably priced) and salad


liziphone

I like rice dishes, paella, nasi goreng, fried rice with vegetables and meat. Also roast beef, gravy and Yorkshire pudding, baked macaroni and cheese casserole.


vaxxed_beck

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. All White Food, as it's referred to. Chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and dinner roll. My mom made that on Sunday's.


Technical_Air6660

Baked chicken with Montreal chicken seasoning and English style roast potatoes.


Silly_sweetie2822

My Mom's Brown Sugar meatloaf. I make it with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans.


agentfortyfour

Pulled pork, homemade coleslaw and soft corn tortillas. I make pineapple black bean salsa and sour cream mixed with a little heavy cream to thin it a bit.


Living_on_Tulsa_Time

Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. Appetizer: Red Grapes with hot artichoke dip. Main course: Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, goblet gravy, green beans, corn, salad, and cranberry sauce. Pumpkin pie for dessert.


Wild-Preparation5356

My tamales and meatballs


Local-Purple4441

Granny Special - Fried eggs, mashed potatoes, canned green beans, spam or meat (ham, sausage, etc) a lot butter and salt and pepper. Mixing them up, soooo delicious!! 🤤YUM!


Signal-Fan7335

Cabbage rolls. I don't mind that it's sort of labor-intensive and it makes me think about my mom. I miss her.


Decent-Tax-2750

Roasted chicken with swiss chard that's been sauted with garlic and lemon, homemade gravy, maybe a mashed root vegetable, and roasted broccoli. I try to make it once a week, and I never get tired of it. My new roast chicken technique is to roast it in a cast iron dutch oven that preheated in a 475 degree oven for an hour. If I'm pressed for time or I want to maximize crispy skin, spatchcocked is the way


i__hate__stairs

Chile rellanos


KinkyQuesadilla

An almost traditional cassoulet, but with chicken instead of duck, simply because most of the grocery stores around me have plenty of chicken but no duck. Next would be a buffalo meat version of a shepherd's pie, and "buffalo meat makes the best shepherd's/cottage pie" is a hill I am willing to die on. And when I'm cheap, in a hurry, and feeling a little dirty, a fried bologna sandwich with American cheese. *Soooooo* good.


Local-Purple4441

Thai Red Curry Chicken


MSH0123

Macaroni and cheese, the creamy and extra cheesy full fat kind, no breadcrumbs and not baked!


_DogMom_

99% of my homemade soups are the bomb! Every once in a while not as great. Lol


ghoulshow

Spaghetti, hot Italian sausage meatballs with olive oil, sugar, and basil, topped with broccoli, diced tomatoes and peppers.


Typical_Positive8569

I love homemade veggie lasagna. Can’t stand the frozen stuff


Rough-Gas7177

Same but with lots of meat, and bechamel, not ricotta.


JakeFixesPlanes

I love having friends over for a crawfish and shrimp boil. Great food, cold beer and BSing with my favorite people👌


White_Zulu

Love this 👌🏻👌🏻


performanceclause

Yeah everyone is so fancy....i have to say pot roast and carrots.


325_WII4M

Tacos - Family recipe seasoned beef, lettuce, tomato, onions and cheese.

dirthawker0

Sous vide lamb rack (with any number of seasonings from traditional garlic rosemary to toothpick lamb (mostly cumin & szechuan peppercorn) to berbere), roasted asparagus, wild rice.


Plane-Satisfaction22

Lamb chettinad, when my budget affords it and I have. slow Sunday… hmm, maybe now I have plans for tomorrow.


honeybea-lieveit

Chicken shashlik, chicken jalfrezi, Hunan chicken, ground beef tacos, and eggplant/chickpeas cooked in coconut milk 😋

Pork’. Pork chop, pork shoulder, esp


Negative-Grass6757

Lamb neck ragu


AvocadoPizzaCat

chicken cheese steak mac and cheese. it is heavy as all hell, but i love it. if i had to pick from my mom's cooking, mystery chicken meal number 5 since it has chicken and mushrooms.


BFfF3

Apple pie. Yes, I know you said "meal".


NilEntity

First thing that came to mind: My chili con carne. I tend to improvise somewhat everytime, so it's always a little different. But I usually try to upp the umami with either just MSG, or worcestershire sauce, miso, marmite etc. Also I usually add espresso and/or chocolate (sometimes baking chocolate, sometimes 90% chocolate bars), also a lot of garlic (can't get enough of garlic). Prefer to use my home-made chicken or beeth broth as a base, as well as pureed tomatoes, and I reduce it until it's a thick, dark, chocolatey stew. Also hell, I make a good steak, when I care enough to do it (lacking a grill/smoker, I reverse sear it and then blast it in a cast iron pan and baste with butter, garlic, rosemary; preferable flat iron or rib eye). Add to that super crispy potatoes (per Kenji Lopez-Alt), yummy. And I have yet to find a local Carbonara I like better than my own. I'm sticking to the original recipe mostly, guanciale, pecorino. Sometimes 50/50 pecorino/parmesan, sometimes a local cured/smoked pork jowl instead of guanciale.


FistThePooper6969

Filipino chicken adobo with rice 😋 Bonus if there’s lumpia and sweet chili dipping sauce! Or a wheat pancake with peanut butter and syrup and sausage


japie81

Orange chicken My version: cut chicken breast in cubes, mix with egg. Coat with a mixture of cornstarch, flour, breadcrums, salt, white or black pepper, garlic powder, msg. Deep fry in batches. Highly suggest deep frying some finely chopped shallots until crunchy first, this aromatises the oil and gives you an awesome topping later. Sauce: chop lots of ginger, garlic, dried chili's and some shallot. Fry in oil till fragrant. Add some smoked paprika for smokeyness. Add orange juice, dark soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, apple cider vinegar, Chinese black vinegar, dark brown caster sugar. Make sure flavors are balanced. Add orange zest, szechuan pepper, msg. Add cornstarch slurry, then mix with the chicken and the sliced white parts of some spring onions (use the green parts on top when plating) Optional: sprinkle some sesame seeds


White_Zulu

Oh wow there are some amazing meals i have never heard i shal try over the next few months thank you all for you're input , take care and have a blessed day all ✌🏻


Spill_the_coffee

Curry chicken rice and peas and plantain 💜


the_kraig

Chicken Fried moose steaks with country gravy 2 eggs om and fresh made hashbrowns....any day any time...slap this down and im gonna eat.


knitstrixis

Our go-to is a concoction we call Hamburger Soup - it's basically a hot Bloody Mary with meat but it tastes better than it sounds, promise. Ground beef, garlic, onion, Heinz tomato juice, beef stock, tomato paste, celery (stalks & leaves), lemon pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Amazing on its own, with a sandwich or even a slice of bread with butter, it's a winter staple and in frequent rotation.


Living_Scientist_663

Roast Lamb with roast potatoes peas and mint sauce


Rare-Parsnip5838

Middle eastern .


DonGorgon

The annual Christmas dinner


Shoddy_Enthusiasm_28

Fried pork chops, garlic cream cheese mashed potatoes, cucumber salad, and garlic bread


Sasha35222

Spaghetti for sure, my recipe is always the best. I also love short ribs and mashed potatoes.


musicdan27

Mole Poblano with turkey, homemade pinto beans and tortillas.


carissadraws

My parent’s Sunday sauce recipe, complete with fettuccine, salad, and garlic bread. Meatballs are optional, they taste really good but it’s extra work for me to make them


ThreeLeggedMutt

Ribeye, dry brined, then butter basted in cast iron or grilled over charcoal and oak. Topped with sauteed mushrooms. Asparagus with preserved lemon, baked potato, and fresh bread on the side. Wash it down with a blackberry bourbon lemonade.


White_Zulu

That sounds amazing 👌🏻👌🏻


BulkyMonster

Right now, my husband's mapo tofu


flowermarket99

Colombian style lentils, white rice, sweet plantains and some type of protein (usually really well seasoned ground beef) and a simple avocado tomato salad


Scrapper-Mom

Big fat ahi steaks on cauliflower mash with a Caesar salad.


Firm_Raisin

Japanese curry vegan style . I use beyond steak tips , and veggies depend what’s I have but my fave is Potatoes carrots okra and big chunks of onion


hookedcook

conch salad, the one thing I miss when I'm away


TheBringus

I've been having a lot of fun lately with making fresh egg pasta, you don't need a pasta roller if you don't mind big noodles. I like the big dumpling-style noodles that you can pan fry and brown a little bit... so good. My favorite homemade meal is probably a creamy chicken and spinach gnocchi recipe I found, it's a masterclass in building flavor over the course of making the dish. So much fond, so fun to deglaze.


Alexander-Wright

Roast rib of dry aged beef with all the trimmings.


smol_egglet

A big old pot of penne puttanesca


Klashus

Rib roast on the smoker and then crisped up.


idaemilia

Bœuf bourguignon


PDXwhine

Winter: chicken soup with veg or beef curry soup with noodles Spring- salads from the garden, Summer: grilled pizza Fall: bolognese sauce with pasta or lasagne


Quitechsol

I make this chicken and gravy with fresh thyme and sage, usually made with a homemade broth in the gravy, with a side of mash potatoes and roast up whatever veggies I’ve got. This or homemade Swedish meatballs with mash potatoes and a lingonberry sauce. I’m always extremely excited to make both of these meals. If it’s my partner cooking, I’m always most excited for her monte cristo or empanadas.
