There is no season for comfort food -- we need it all the time. It's there for us on the hardest of days and to celebrate the happiest ones, too. But it's definitely during the fall that our craving for a big plate of comfort strikes most frequently. Maybe it's because we're sad that summer's over. Or maybe it's because we need a little help getting through the back-to-school blues. Whatever the case may be, the need is real.
To help you out with this increasing demand, we rounded up our 20 favorite comfort food recipes -- all of them easy to make. Because that's what comfort is all about. Folks, you are welcome.
