Cold Weather food ideas?

[CJ-95GT]

Thinking about trying some PHO from down the street. It's something warm and by the bar. Anything else other than stew or red beans and rice?

chilli, chicken pot pie, turkey/ham and dressing, etc...

I'm giving this a try tonight.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Rinse pork chops, pat dry, and season with garlic powder and seasoning salt to taste. Place the beaten eggs in a small bowl. Dredge the pork chops lightly in flour, dip in the egg, and coat liberally with bread crumbs.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops 5 minutes per side, or until the breading appears well browned. Transfer the chops to a 9x13 inch baking dish, and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. While baking, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk and white wine in a medium bowl. After the pork chops have baked for an hour, cover them with the soup mixture.

Replace foil, and bake for another 30 minutes.

bcoops smothered pork chops

Here's the directions for Brent's Smothered Chops -

Take your pork chops and wash them off, pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly dust them with flour, and Tony Chachere's. You don't have to, but I actually mix the Tony's with the flour, then dust. Say a TBSP or so of Tony's to a cup of flour. You don't want it thick, just a thin light dust, so it's not necessary to use all the mixture. Just toss what's left. Coat the skillet in oil (I don't measure, but you want the entire bottom of the skillet covered in oil). Get the oil hot on medium heat. I always get a tiny bit of water on my finger and flick it in to the pan. If it sizzles, it's ready to put the pork chops in. Cook pork chops until golden brown (4-5 minutes on each side), remove the pork cops, and drain the oil. Again, you want to keep the cracklings, and a tiny bit of oil (TBSP or so). Put the skillet back on the burner, and reduce heat to medium-low. Take two cans of cream of mushroom soup (I use Campbell's), one can of Cream of Chicken soup, and half a cup of milk, and add it all to the skillet. Stir frequently to keep it from sticking. Add seasoning to taste. Salt, pepper, more Tony's if you want, or if you like more spice and less salt, crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper. Stir in, bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer. You may need to add more milk. I like mine on the thin side, and to thin, add more milk. Some people like it thick though (less milk). Once it's mixed well, and seasoned to your liking, put your pork chops back in for another minute or two per side.

Serve with whatever sides you like. You can service over rice, even. THis isn't a very healthy meal, and it SUCKS if you try to make it healthy. I can't stand the taste of the low sodium and 'healthy choice' cream of mushroom. This is meant to be comfort food, and best prepared that way. I just wanted to warn you, because if you go the healthier route, you'll be disappointed.

Venison chili

Mardi Gras got me thinking cajun. Gumbo and Etofee (sp?) are excellent cold weather dishes.

[lowthreeohz]

Chili, pot roast, and tacos!

[bcoop]

Chili, gumbo, potato soup, chowder, etc.


I made carne guisada yesterday. Perfect for cold weather, but good in any weather. Smothered pork chops above are good for cold weather too, because it's so heavy. Italian is also good cold weather food, for the same reason.

Big pot of beef stew was had last night.
