5. Cabbage Goulash 

This is a hearty meal of cabbage, ground beef, and tomatoes. I like serving it with thick slices of homemade bread. Click here for the recipe. 

6. Baked Tacos

These tacos are a huge hit every single time I serve them! Nothing fancy, but I think the appeal is that they are completely assembled and baked so they don’t fall apart. People can just grab them and eat them. They really are so yummy and pretty easy to whip up a pan or two. Click here for the recipe. 

7. Chicken and Dumplings

Chicken and dumplings is the ultimate comfort food if you ask me. Yummy chicken and dumplings in the best creamy gravy soup. Mmmm! Add some fried green tomatoes or okra in the side and it’s as southern as it gets. Click here for the recipe.
