It’s officially roast season 🍂 and I LOVE a good roast recipe.

When the weather cools down, there’s nothing better than a slow-cooked, fall-apart roast situation. So I rounded up five of my favorites for all your cozy fall dinners:

🥩 French Onion Braised Beef
🥔 The Best Whole30 Pot Roast
🍚 Roast, Rice & Gravy
🥢 Slow Cooker Miso-Ginger Chuck Roast
🌶️ Shredded Beef Chipotle Burrito Bowls

This is the kind of dinner that just feels like home. 🤎

Roast, Rice, and Gravy is a simple Southern staple inspired by my friend KERRently by COURTNEY NOONAN beloved family recipe. Tender, fall-apart roast over buttery rice, all covered in the most savory, peppery gravy. Basically, the definition of comfort food.

It’s a little bit nostalgic, a little bit cozy, and the kind of meal you’ll want to make for your own family for years to come. 🥹

We’re ending with a bowl that is hearty, smoky, and packed with flavor: Spanish-Style Lentil Soup with Chorizo 🇪🇸

Inspired by my travels to Spain, tender lentils simmer in a rich, savory broth with smoky paprika, roasted red peppers, and slices of Spanish-style chorizo that get just a little crispy before making their way into the pot.

It’s the kind of soup that only gets better as it sits, making it perfect for a big batch and even better leftovers

DAY 4 OF 🌶️🍜

Today’s soup is bringing some heat (and it’s obviously my personal favorite of this week’s round up). Spicy Sichuan Chicken Soup with Glass Noodles is inspired by the bold, hot-and-sour flavors of Sichuan hot pot, but in a cozy, slurpable soup situation.

A flavorful broth with ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, chili, gochujang, and shiitakes, poured over springy glass noodles and tender shredded chicken. Spicy, savory, tangy, and SO satisfying.

If you love a little heat, this one is calling your name 🔥

Today’s soup is pure southern comfort: Slow Cooker Cowboy Stew! 🤠

Think somewhere between a hearty chili and a beef and vegetable stew, packed with ground beef, tender potatoes, black-eyed peas, fire-roasted tomatoes, corn, and green beans.

This one is great for a busy weeknight, a chilly night at home, or anytime you need a big pot of something cozy with minimal effort 🤍

Say hello to my Creamy Italian Sausage and Shells Soup for day 2 OF ! 👋🏼

This one goes out to ALL the zuppa toscana fans that might need a little change of pace (lol, you know who you are!!) This one is creamy, cozy, loaded with Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, parmesan, and little pasta shells that cook right in the broth. And the best part? ONE POT. No boiling a separate pot of pasta, no colander, no extra dishes.

This 35-minute recipe is perfect for a night when you want something seriously comforting without the whole production. It’s another one that the whole family will love INDEED.

Comment CREAMY and I’ll send you the recipe!

Day 1 of The Defined Dish Soup Week! 🍲🌶️

We’re kicking things off with a Spicy Sicilian Chicken Soup- a hearty, rustic chicken soup inspired by one of those restaurant soups Texans know and love. (shoutout to Carrabbas!!) Think tender chicken, potatoes, little bites of pasta, a rich tomato-y broth, and just enough Calabrian pepper to give it a little kick.

If you like your soup with a little spice, this one is for you. It’s just the perfect amount of spice to elevate a hearty chicken noodle soup.
