There's so much to enjoy here, and all these recipes are as comforting as they are classic.

"This breakfast casserole with hash browns is my family's recipe that has been handed down through the years. We've always used the maple-flavored pork sausage but any kind is good. This casserole is a nice and cozy breakfast or brunch meal that everyone will enjoy. It's got the perfect taste with lots of cheese. Yum! Be sure to use a baking dish that is deep enough to cover with aluminum foil." -MELISSAKOVACS07

True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

"Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to bang or burst while cooking. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one truly requires good sausage. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy." -wsf

Hungarian Potato and Sausage Soup

Hungarian Potato and Sausage Soup

When the going gets tough, the tough make soup! There are certain recipes that comfort the body and soul in a profound way, and this hearty potato and sausage soup is in that class. I think you'll agree it's one of the best things you've had in a long time. The savory flavor from smoked sausage and the earthy sweetness from onions and cabbage are balanced perfectly with a splash of vinegar and a bit of sour cream, all brought together by soft and tender potatoes—the only way this gets better is serving it with a nice hunk of buttered, crusty bread." -Chef John
