Pennsylvania Favorite Entrees


Return to Entrees index
↠ Chicken Pot Pie:
Description:  A classic, comforting entree featuring tender, bite-sized chicken and savory vegetables (typically carrots, peas, celery, and onions) bathed in a rich, creamy gravy. This hearty dish is enclosed in a flaky, buttery pastry crust—often puff pastry or traditional pie dough—and baked until golden brown.

↠ Schnitz un Knepp:
Description:  Schnitz un Knepp (“apples and buttons”) is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch comfort food entree featuring tender, slow-simmered ham or pork shoulder, sweet-tart dried apples (schnitz), and fluffy dumplings (knepp). The dish is savory, sweet, and tangy, often prepared in a single pot with brown sugar, broth, and sometimes onions.

↠ Pork and Sauerkraut:
Description:  Pork and sauerkraut is a classic, savory, and tender comfort food dish, often slow-cooked to perfection. Featuring juicy pork (shoulder, loin, or chops) nestled in a tangy, fermented cabbage base, it balances sour notes with optional additions like apples, caraway seeds, or onions. Often served with mashed potatoes, it is a traditional New Year's meal symbolizing luck.

↠ Panhaas:
Description:  Panhaas (often spelled Pannhaas), known colloquially as scrapple, is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch savory pork dish that originated from German culinary traditions (specifically the Rhineland). It is a staple breakfast item in the Mid-Atlantic region.

↠ Stuffed Cabbage Rolls:
Description:  Stuffed cabbage rolls (Golabki) are a classic, comforting entree featuring tender, blanched cabbage leaves tightly wrapped around a savory, seasoned blend of ground beef, pork, and rice. Simmered in a tangy, sweet tomato-based sauce, these rolls are deeply comforting and often served with mashed potatoes, sour cream, or egg noodles.
