Comfort Food Dinners, Soups & Family Meals

Katherine O'Malley, comfort cooking – hearty dinners, soups and family meals.

Profile:

Katherine O'Malley's recipes center on the dinners people return to: rotisserie chicken and mushroom soup, cheesy low carb taco casserole, mini slider burgers, crab cakes with jumbo lump crab and creamy scalloped potatoes. Most of her work sits in Dinners, with smaller groups of side dishes, baked desserts such as Dutch apple pie and Amish baked custard, and the occasional breakfast like chipped beef on toast.

What ties these recipes together is practicality. Titles often state the time or yield up front, such as 25 minutes, 30 minutes or 8 servings, so you can judge whether a dish fits your evening before you shop. Soups, casseroles and one-pot meals feature heavily, because they keep the cleanup short and reheat well the next day. Ingredient lists lean on pantry staples and supermarket basics, and steps are written in the order you actually work.

If you want a reliable main dish for a busy night, start with her dinner recipes, then browse the sides and bakes that round out the table.
