What makes good comfort food?
Your go-to comfort food recipes likely say a little something about where you grew up. They often feature heartier elements like cheese and potatoes, but they may also contain elements of dishes from your own cultural heritage. That means some have a spicier and regional element—think about creole cooking down south, or creamy pasta bakes—and some involve plugging in your slow cooker.
