23 Most Popular Recipes From 2023 (2024)

My Famous Lasagna

“I call this my ‘famous’ lasagna because every time I make it, it becomes someone’s favorite lasagna. I still have friends calling me, year after year, asking me to make it for them. The white sauce is different than your usual ricotta cheese and adds a sweet and tangy mix to the lasagna. I think you’ll love it!” – Jannette

Slap Your Mama It’s So Delicious Southern Squash Casserole

“This is a tried and true Southern recipe that can be modified by adding meat or rice to it to make it a meal by itself. Chicken or turkey can be added to it, so bring on the leftovers. My daughter loves this recipe. You can mash the squash if you like it that way, but we just cut it into small pieces. Of course, adding onion and other seasonings are always optional. I like to add onion if my kids aren’t eating it since I love it that way!” – Sherri

Southern Fried Cabbage

“This was my favorite growing up and still is on New Year’s Eve, which was a tradition. But, mom cooked it a few times during the year.” – Michelle

“It may sound strange, but believe me, it is to die for!” – Lolly

Mom’s Flat Apple Pie

Pecan Pie Bars

“I call these ‘lazy girl’ pecan pie bars. Bring these to a gathering, and you’ll never have leftovers. Which, in my opinion, is not always a good thing. Make sure to keep some for yourself, or you might miss out!” – Michaela

“I made this easy, tasty meal for my mom to help out while ill. She loved it. It’s hearty and comforting. Enjoy!” – Cassie

Zucchini Tomato Pie

“The pairing of tomatoes and zucchini is delicious in so many dishes, and this pie approach, which I modified from a Bisquick recipe site, is one more way to bring life to them when they’re out of season. Important in this dish to drain and blot tomatoes so the pie doesn’t become watery.” – Jenay

Holiday Cornbread Dressing

“This is my children’s Mimi’s recipe that she passed down to me. It has served us well for 30 years, each and every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you, Elnora. You are missed.” – Liz

Granna’s Cornbread Dressing

“This is an old family recipe from my dad’s mother, Velma. It’s a Christmas/Thanksgiving cornbread dressing everyone loves, and she would be so flattered knowing. This recipe is a very moist dressing (despite during prep, it seems like it may turn out dry). Temps for cooking will vary on your sea level, so bake based on your experience. You’ll need the largest Corning Ware or disposable pan. A 9×13 is way too small. You’ll need a pan about 11 x 16 x 2.5.” – Carly

“Every summer, no matter how few plants we plant, it seems like we have too much zucchini and yellow squash. Since the neighbors don’t like it when we leave it on their doorsteps, I’ve had to come up with ways to get my family to eat it. This is my husbands’ and my favorite way.” – Lynelle

This is one less dish you have to make the next day. I have carried on the tradition and served this for my family and friends. It is super yummy!” – Leah
