Fall is my favorite season. I love all things fall: sweaters, cooler weather, changing leaf colors, football and pumpkin spice.

I love food that makes me feel warm and cozy when it starts to get cold outside.

4 Cozy Fall Comfort Food Recipes for Your Family

Texas Haystacks

I don’t share very many of my own recipes on this blog. I’m just not good at making new recipes and I don’t want to get the measurements and directions wrong. I am more comfortable just linking to other blogs with awesome recipes.

That being said, I decided to share this one today because it is a family recipe from my husband’s side of the family. It is a great cool weather dinner that is simple and yummy.

I am sharing the smaller version of the recipe, but for my family I would double it. It is a crockpot recipe that you can start in the morning and enjoy for dinner the same day.
