Ep 13. Comfort Food Done Right

In this episode of Cook's Country season 12, the team explores the comfort food that we all crave but with a twist of cooking them in a new way. Starting with the ultimate comfort food, macaroni and cheese, the Cook's Country team revolutionizes the classic pasta recipe by creating a cast iron skillet version that can serve a crowd. This creamy and cheesy dish has a crispy breadcrumb topping that will make anyone's mouth water.

Next on the comfort food agenda is meatloaf, and the team is making sure it doesn't come out dry and bland. The secret to the ultimate meatloaf is to use a mixture of ground beef, pork, and bacon to create a perfectly juicy and flavorful dish.

After the meatloaf, the show moves on to pot roast. The Cook's Country team knows that pot roast can often come out tough and flavorless, but they have a secret to make it juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. They start by coating the meat with flour and browning it in a Dutch oven. They then add onions, garlic, and beef broth to create a rich and flavorful gravy that will keep the pot roast moist and delicious.

No comfort food episode would be complete without the ultimate dessert, and in this episode, the Cook's Country team is making a classic apple crisp. They use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of lemon juice to create a perfectly balanced and sweet filling. The topping is made with oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter to create a crunchy and sweet topping that will have you coming back for more.
