Casual Fall Dinner Menu

As the days get shorter, the leaves start to change color, and the apples ripen for picking, there’s a certain coziness that we start craving in our casual fall dinner menu. And with fall comes recipes for comforting and savory dishes. Today, I’m sharing a spread that’s become a personal favorite of mine during this season – a collection of quick and easy recipes for the next casual weekend gathering or family dinner.

What's on the menu items: potatoes, brussels sprouts, apple cobbler and pork chops.

To start the evening, you will enjoy my Best Ever Brussels Sprouts and Parmesan Roasted Potatoes – two no-fuss side dishes. These recipes are not only easy to make but are also two of my most popular recipes. For the main course, we will serve Pork Chops with Brandy Mushroom Sauce. Finally, we will complete the menu with a classic dessert, warm and rustic Apple Cobbler.
Without further discussion, I say it’s time to dive into this perfect casual fall dinner menu lineup.

Best Ever Brussels Sprouts

These Brussels sprouts are delicious and so quick and easy to prepare. Oven roasting results in sweet caramelized sprouts, with a nice char and crunch to them. The addition of mushrooms and bacon takes these little cabbage-like vegetables to a whole new level of tasty!

Pork Chops with Brandy Mushroom Sauce

This pork chop recipe delivers gourmet flavor. A great one-pan dish. It starts with pan-fried pork chops that are perfectly seared. Using the same pan, you combine mushrooms, garlic, shallots, cream, and chicken broth to make an aromatic mushroom sauce. A splash of brandy takes these pork chops from everyday to gourmet!
