False Fall hit and suddenly I was ready for slow braises, bubblin' casseroles, and a soup pot on my stove! Then Official Fall started yesterday and my kitchen is about to feel its coziest with the windows cracked, fireplace going, and good food filling my house with good smells.

These are 27 of my favorite comfort food dinners for the fall season, the ones that you'll be coming to again and again as the weather cools down: hearty one pot meals, slow roasted sunday suppers, easy family friendly dishes.

Everything on this list is flavor-packed, unfussy, and perfect to unwind with a glass of good wine and Gilmore Girls.

We've got everything from pumpkin pastas to slow cooked pot roast, nothing is more of the cozy season, y'all.

Enjoy the good stuff of autumn by viewing all my fall dishes and bringing a few to your dinner table and pinning this round up for later!
