What in your mind is a hearty meal?

rice, beans, and protein! (preferably a fried egg!)

A venison stew and biscuits. Nothing like it in my book.

sausage and clams eggs

One that upsets my stomach so badly they have to postpone my execution indefinitely.

A nice hommade soup with rice andoullie sausage, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion,garlic, and some fresh picked herbs and spices. Yummy.

Something warm and filling.. lentils, stew, rice and beans..

Beef stew.

@SeventhSense An excellent answer. Guinness Beef Stew, specifically, is hearty and exquisite.

Or how about a big bowl of beef and bean chili with a dollop of sour cream.

A hot platter of chicken and dumplings from the Cracker Barrel. if you are cold and hungry, this fills the bill. at least, for me.

SeventhSense…........whats a dollop? is it kin to drawn butter?

Dollop

A piece of meat, some sort of potato, a green vegetable, a piece of bread, and an alcoholic beverage to wash it down.

candles
lentils
crusty bread
artisan cheese
a nice red wine

Roast beef, mashed potatoes, cooked green beans/carrots, homemade rye bread, homemade apple pie, lemon flavor water.

@YARNLADY A woman after my own heart.

Pot roast, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, bread and butter, green beans. sheesh! I’m hungry now!

A soup or stew make with potatoes, vegetables, protein (meat or legumes) is a one item heart meal.

Otherwise it is a meal with a modest amount of lean protein, steamed vegetables, potato or rice, homemade bread and cultured butter.
