This meal requires little prep work - everything simply gets tossed into the slow cooker. There’s no pre-cooking any vegetables and minimal chopping. If you can buy groceries and mince garlic through a press, you’re proficient at this dish. It all happens in one pot! Perfect, simple comfort food when there are kids around.

This is one of those fall-back-on dinners everyone has in their back pocket; the thing you know how to pull together no matter what you have in the house. It might not seem like a recipe at all, but it totally counts. It makes enough for dinner for four, and then another dinner for four - freeze the leftovers or just stash them in the fridge for a day or three.

Soup and salad fits the bill - with only four ingredients (not counting salt and pepper) this pot of soup is simple to make and warms the house; pick up a bagged salad and loaf of crusty bread and dinner's taken care of.

Pork ribs are perfect comfort food, easy to prepare in the oven or slow cooker and a welcome meal after a long day out in the cold. Serve them with brown rice and a tossed salad, and freeze leftovers to spread over pizza or stir into baked beans.

Go retro comfort food on Friday night with an old-school tuna noodle casserole - it's simple to make from scratch, and simple to leave in the oven for the sitter to retrieve and feed the kids if you're heading out to a Christmas party.
