Thought of more...
My step dad's steak tips
His mac n cheese
His "hot dish" which I found out is a mid western "blanket term" for a pasta dish that has whatever you want in it lol I still make his variation
Also his sausage and rice...my sister still goes nuts for this and makes it a lot
My dad's chuck n beans (beans being yellow beans we grew ourselves)
His fresh trout cooked in aluminum foil over a campfire...holy hot damn...
My memere's French meat stuffing at Thanksgiving
Also her porkchops and rice
My mom's taco bake
and when she used to make these things (from a box) called fudge jumbles. They don't make them any more
they were my brother's FAVORITE thing
also her Minestrone is the best.thing.ever.
Ohhh and something that sounds weird but isn't. My dad's best friend made glazed kielbasa for all our events. In a crock pot he put: about 2lbs kielbasa cut up, a can of chili and beans and a small jar of grape jelly. It's the best stuff EVER. Mmm now I wanna make some.....
