Cold-weather pot-luck stand-by recipes [General]

Cabbage rolls--or even better a layered cabbage casserole that has all the ingredients of the rolls without the work. Just google "cabbage roll casserole" and you will find way too many recipes...but choose the flavours and ingredients you like to get the proportions correct. I do always use savoy cabbage as it is less "gassy" than the regular green! I also use brown rice for added nutrition.

My wife just made a massive batch of cabbage roll casserole yesterday, and put a good 8 or 10 containers of it in the freezer

Glad to hear it Poutine.
While on this topic, yesterday I made a massive batch of meatballs and sauce for meatball sandwiches. We all love them. And it was my first attempt at canning meatballs - worked a charm! Now I have 6 jars of meatball sandwich ready to go :-)
Would post a recipe but it would not do you any good because it was basically opening 2 jars of my preserves (1 litre of chow, 1 litre of pasta sauce), pureeing them together, and mixing in a bit of brown sugar and applesauce. Really awesome sweet and sour sauce.

Do you have any favourite stand-by dishes? There can be such variety at these, and amongst foodies a lot of imagination, as well.
Ours is Chili, but made with a twist or two. Chili is also a great theme for a cook-off between friends and neighbours, as chili recipes are like snowflakes, no two are alike.
Here's a link to our approach to chili. (Yes, the recipe really does have prunes and bourbon)
