Slow Cooker Comfort Food Recipes
I found that using the slow cooker (affiliate) helps make great dishes for those days we want something comforting. These two recipes are super easy and can be cooked in a slow cooker (affiliate) in the middle of the day for a warm and inviting evening dinner.
We could make it with gluten-free noodles as well as regular ones. It was handy for the gluten-free intolerance members in our family.
The soup recipes are great in the slow cooker (affiliate) as well. This Chicken Tortilla soup recipe is a delicious one because the chicken breast shreds up nicely after cooking. Great for a cold night.

Easy Hot Sandwiches are Great Comfort Food Recipes
An excellent hot sandwich is always a great comfort to us. It is quick and easy to make, and the kids enjoy the messiness of it all.
EASY ITALIAN SLOPPY JOES RECIPE
This sloppy joe recipe is delicious with a little provolone slice on it. It was pretty spicy, but you can adjust the spice when you make it yourself.
Chili Comfort Food Recipes
Another staple we go to for comfort is our chili recipes! We have lots of them. The main reason is that it is quick and easy to make for weeknight meals, which is my goal for sharing recipes. I do not want you spending hours in your kitchen for a weeknight meal.
DELICIOUS ZUCCHINI WHITE CHILI RECIPE
This recipe has a freshness to it by adding mildly cooked zucchinis in it at the last minute or two. If you want to freeze it, do not add the zucchini until you are ready to cook the dish.

Soup recipes are another way to be comforted by your dinner after a tough day at work. This minestrone recipe is just one of my favorite go-to soups for the winter months. Check it out!
