Polish Comfort Food - Haluski

I've alluded to it before and I'll say it now, fall is my favorite food time of the year! Pumpkin everything, comfort food, soups, fair food... oh, it's all so very wonderful!

As the weather gets cooler, I love breaking out my comfort food recipes, one of them being Haluski. It's a Polish dish, consisting of bacon, cabbage and egg noodles! What's not to love?! Be forewarned, though, this recipe is not for the faint of heart, or the high of cholesterol! It's very rich, filling and has lots of butter and bacon! A good every-once-in-a-while dish. But it's still oh so very good!

Here's the recipe. Enjoy!

The Line-up

Haluski tastes even better as leftovers, fried in a skillet until lightly crispy!
