Every Sunday growing up, we had a big dinner around noon either at home or at my grandma and grandma's house. Fried chicken. Veal cutlets. Pot roast. Roasted chicken. Lasagna. Comfort food was the name of the game for this meal.

Why not start your own Sunday dinner tradition? Here are 12 hearty comfort food recipes to print and try. What's your favorite Sunday dinner meal? Tell us in the comments section.

1. Mississippi Pot Roast: This easy Mississippi pot roast recipe went viral – and with good reason. The recipe takes minutes to throw into a slow cooker and the payoff is a tender roast with a flavor-packed gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes or with rice to soak up the gravy.

2. Spatchcock Herbed Chicken: Spatchcock chicken is simply a chicken that's been split and flattened. Where the term "spatchcock" comes from is under debate. Flattening the chicken makes it cook faster, and adding herbs and jalapenos ups the flavor factor. The leftovers make incredible chicken salad/

3. Chicken Cassoulet: Cassoulet, a classic French stew made with beans and meat, usually takes hours to make. This one is table ready in about 30 minutes, but tastes like it has cooked all day.
