Corned Beef and Cabbage is a comfort food meal we enjoy during the Fall season. My recipe is cooked in the Crockpot, low and slow, for a tender, tasty entrée.

5 Grilled Rotisserie Chicken and Brie Sandwich

Chicken and Brie Sandwich with a fruit spread is the sort of menu item you would expect to find on a gourmet restaurant menu, overpriced but so worth it. Now you can make your own at home with no special skills, just this easy recipe. Mine has a Peach compote spread; use your favorite complementary jam spread.

Side dishes

Serve your favorite potato chips on the side with a pickle spear.

6 Meat and Potato Casserole

This casserole is budget-friendly, plus it is delicious. Sometimes, I skip the fried onions on top and crush up some Funyuns instead. Leftovers are great the next day, if you have any leftovers.

Side dishes

Serve your favorite green vegetables that come in a can, such as Italian beans, like these, Cut green beans like these, or Peas and Carrots like these. Dinner rolls are a must with this ground beef and potatoes casserole. We like these Hawaiian rolls the best.

Side dishes

This is a fun meal and great for game day. Serve any of these options on the side: Oven Baked French Fries, Homemade Creamy Cole Slaw, Best Ever Baked Beans, and Grilled Cheese Fries.
