Ep 11. Old-Fashioned Comfort

In season 15 episode 11 of The Pioneer Woman, titled "Old-Fashioned Comfort," host Ree Drummond is all about comfort food. She’s whipping up some delicious recipes that will leave you feeling warm and satisfied.

First, Ree makes a chicken and dumplings casserole that is sure to be a hit with everyone in the family. Instead of using biscuits for the dumplings, she uses homemade pasta to make it even more comforting and hearty.

Next up on the menu is a classic pot roast, slow-cooked until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. Ree serves it up with her special twist on mashed potatoes, making them extra creamy and flavorful.

But the real showstopper of the episode is Ree’s homemade macaroni and cheese. She starts by making a cheesy roux, then adds in some mustard and Worcestershire sauce for an extra kick of flavor. Once the pasta is cooked, she mixes everything together and tops it off with buttery breadcrumbs and fresh herbs.

To round out the meal, Ree whips up some quick and easy green beans with bacon and garlic. The dish is a perfect balance of savory and sweet, and pairs perfectly with the other comfort foods on the table.

And of course, no episode of The Pioneer Woman would be complete without a sweet treat. Ree finishes off her old-fashioned comfort meal with an indulgent chocolate cake, iced with rich buttercream frosting and topped off with playful sprinkles.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing meal for your next dinner party, this episode of The Pioneer Woman has got you covered. With its comforting and classic recipes, it’s sure to leave you feeling warm and satisfied.
