This delicious spaghetti sauce is perfect for any type of pasta you like or can be used for sandwiches.

Slow cooker Texas-style chili with ground beef, kidney and pinto beans, plum tomatoes, and a touch of warming whole allspice. A 4-hour low-and-slow chili built from pantry staples.

Side ribs are cheaper than back ribs - there is lots of bone, but you can still get nice portions of meat.

Nothing new under the sun, just my rendition of very popular dish in Eastern Europe, inspired by various cuisines of Carpathian Mountains. Cooked quite quick in a pressure cooker.

Andy's murgh kurma: Indian chicken curry with a yogurt marinade, whole cardamom and cloves, and a deeply spiced tomato sauce. Serve with rice and chapati for a fragrant home-cooked dinner.

Burt Reynolds' red wine beef stew from a 1984 celebrity Christmas book, with round steak browned in bacon fat, simmered in wine and tomato sauce, then finished with potatoes, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.

We make things "from scratch" a lot so I like things that I can make easily. We doubled the recipe and fought over the leftovers.

Fragrant Indian chicken biryani layered with saffron-streaked basmati rice, tender potatoes, and a spiced yogurt-tomato sauce with cardamom, cloves, and cumin. Served with sweetened whipped yogurt.

Crockpot beef stroganoff that does the work for you: tender beef and mushrooms slow-cooked all day, then finished with a tempered sour cream sauce and spooned over egg noodles.

Nothing is better than a bowl of warm chili in a cold day. It's cozy and warm you up.

Quite good and pretty spicy. I left out the mushrooms and cooked in a Dutch oven rather than the crockpot. I simmered it, covered, for about 1 hour 30 minutes. Would make this again. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, the pot roast came out so flavourful and the gravy was also very tasty. We thinly sliced the leftover, used in sandwiches and wraps. Bravo!

This well balanced casserole has everything you need in supper. Creamy sauce, cheesy topping, and the yummy combination of broccoli and chicken make a delicious and filling meal that's also full of goodness.

great dish when it is hot outside and/or inside.. sometimes a main dish with separately served potatoes, often with meat or sausages.. I like to serve it as a side dish to grilled food.. similar to Lithuanian chilled beat soup, which is fantastic, however they add a lot of cream, hard boiled eggs and do not add radish rather..

A quick and easy velvety smooth tomato soup without any added cream. Perfect and classic with a grilled cheese sandwich.

This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:
