The air is getting crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and pumpkin spice everything is back – that means fall is here! As the temperatures drop, our appetites shift to heartier, warming meals that just hit the spot on a chilly autumn day. In this blog post, we will share some of our favorite fall recipes that are sure to become staples in your home kitchen this season.
To start, you can’t go wrong with a classic pot roast. This braised beef is fall comfort food at its finest. Season a chuck roast with salt and pepper and brown it in a Dutch oven. Surround it with potatoes, carrots, onions, and beef broth. Let it simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender. The resulting gravy makes this dish extra irresistible.
Another great one-pot meal is chicken stew. Sauté chicken thighs in olive oil with garlic and onion. Add veggies like potatoes, carrots, celery, and kale. Pour in chicken broth and tomato sauce and let simmer until the veggies are tender. The stew is even better the next day – just add a dash of apple cider vinegar before serving for a tangy flavor.
And what would fall be without soup? An easy go-to is sausage, kale, and bean soup. Brown sausage with onions and garlic. Add in cannellini beans, chicken broth, kale, and seasonings like sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper. After 30 minutes the flavors have all melded together for a comforting, hearty soup.
Finally, save room for dessert! An apple crisp is the ultimate fall treat. Slice apples and toss with cinnamon, sugar, flour, oats, and brown sugar. Add it to a baking dish and sprinkle with more oats and brown sugar. Bake until it’s bubbling and golden – top with ice cream for an extra special finish.
With these tasty, filling fall recipes, you’ll be ready for sweater weather and cozy nights at home. What are some of your favorite dishes to make when autumn arrives? Let us know in the comments!
