Like a bit of crunch with my sweet corn and mashed potatoes and gravy. So something fried is comfort food for me. When I was a kid my favorite meal was mashed potatoes with a creamy hamburger gravy and cornbread. Unfortunately I don't get to eat much of any of that these days. But I occasionally fall off the mashed potato wagon.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

I've often wondered just what "comfort food' is supposed to be. Most anything that tastes good is comfort to me.
Another nebulous term is "home-cooked meal". Just what is that supposed to be? If it is merely some food cooked in a residence, I've had some really unsatisfactory meals that would fit the definition. Home cooked meal generally means meat and potatoes to me.

Comfort food to me are those familiar meals I’ve enjoyed for years. Some since childhood. ^^^ this What most of you guys are referring to is your parents version of Hoover Stew….

Need to find a new, low-carb comfort food. Maybe real chili w/o beans. Cheese and sour cream on top.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
What fresh Hell is this?

You are close. Menudo is my second favorite. Birria though is amazing. Eat a bowl with corn tortillas and you will get the warm fuzzies. Problems of the world are gone. I jus can’t believe I was over forty before I discovered it.

Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sammich (or two).

Macaroni and tomatoes with cornbread
Spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread
Chili with cornbread
This is gonna sound weird...but how do you fix your macaroni and tomatoes? I see this referenced all the time in the south as a comfort meal....and really want to try an actual souther version.
I am MAGA.

My parents are still alive.....and I am family man first. In other words, I spend as much time with family as possible.
We eat all our meals together.
Pretty much every meal is a comfort meal to me.
Meat loaf is a favorite. Fried pork chops. Spaghetti.
Mom used to fry cube steaks in cast iron. Then she would deglaze with water and make a kind of real thin gravy.
The steaks were put on a platter and the "gravy" poured over them.
You would dip toast in the gravy.
Can of green beans and you have my childhood.
My other favorite was a hamburger steak, fried potatoes and green beans.
That was lunch with Grandpa.
I am MAGA.

It’s the simple life for me.
I could eat what most of you are & be very content.
Though I do like fancy once in awhile, pork chops smothered in mushroom sauce, now that’s fancy!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Bacon and fried eggs with toast and coffee is probably my favorite, with my wife's beef roast and gravy over my mashed potatoes is a close second.

I just don't understand how some of the most mediocre tasting restaurant food can be called home cooking. We ate at a Cracker Barrel for the first time a couple months ago. Granted...it was in Montana. Maybe they are better elsewhere? We were underwhelmed.

Stroganoff sized pieces of heart/liver and plenty of onion, served up with raw fried potatoes… it doesn’t get any better.
