Drunken and Smothered Dinners: Southern Comfort Food at its Best

August 21, 2014 by RecipeLion

Drunken and Smothered Dinners: Southern Comfort Food at its BestWhen I come home from work, I need something hearty for dinner to keep myself going through the evening. That’s why I love making Southern comfort food after a long, hard day. Now, don’t let the names of these dishes scare you off! Drunken dishes are simply made with a little bit of alcohol, while smothered dishes are covered in thick, creamy sauces. These dishes will make you think about home-cooked meals from your childhood and your favorite hearty meals.

Drunken and smothered dishes are perfect for family dinners, especially since they’re so easy to make. Usually you just make the sauce and put the dish in the oven or slow cooker to cook. Plus, a dinner this rich in flavor will keep everyone at the table happy.

Serve any of these dishes with a side like mashed potatoes, southern-style green beans, or rice for an authentic southern meal. You will love how easy it is to incorporate these delicious recipes into your typical dinner repertoire. Make one tonight, and you’ll fall in love with Southern comfort food all over again.
