[In No Particular Order]
Chicken Pot Pie
Meatload
Turkey Manhattan
Mashed Potatoes (with that little lake of molten butter on top)
Chili
Grilled Cheese Sandwhiches
Ham Loaf (was I the only one subjected to this as a child? You just kind of learn to love them)
Chicken & Noodles (with the thick egg noodles that have soaked for hours in the broth)
Patty Melt
Pie (because it's ALWAYS time for pie)
caveat Soup is a cop-out answer!!!!!
That's all I can come up with right now - did I miss any?
I would add chicken and dumplings to the list. And a roast beef manhattan instead of turkey. And you have to have tomato soup with that grilled cheese sandwich!
I think my meatload is an all season food.
As I boy, I ate a version of chicken pot pie made by someone all the kids in the neighborhood called "Grandma." I remember chunks of white chicken, pulled dark meat, fresh green beans, carrots and peas, and a crust that, beyond the initial crunch, melted in the mouth.
