For three seasons now, we’ve loved having Stacey Little of Southern Bite round out each episode of Simply Southern by sharing his recipe creations. This year, we’re taking a look back on the recipes you, our viewers, enjoyed the most in 2023. We hope these inspire you to cook a meal and gather the family or bake a dessert to deliver to a neighbor, because togetherness is the best way to close out every year!
8. Southern Tomato Gravy
Southern Tomato Gravy is truly a Southern favorite. While it’s traditionally served over biscuits as a breakfast dish, it can also be enjoyed as a sauce with lunch, dinner or Sunday supper.
7. Apple Dapple Sheet Cake
A sheet cake is the perfect quick and easy dessert. This one could even be called somewhat healthy because it features apples and pecans! See how fast this Apple Dapple Sheet Cake from Southern Bite comes together. And thanks to Priester’s Pecans for making this recipe possible.
6. Saltine Crusted Chicken Fingers
Even the pickiest young eaters usually love chicken tenders. In favor of fast food or frozen versions, try this simple homemade version from Southern Bite. Crushed Saltines provide a perfectly crunchy crust on these delicious tenders. And thanks to the Alabama Poultry & Egg Association for making this segment possible.
5. Mom’s Peach Cobbler
This recipe originally aired in 2022, and y’all loved it so much, we had to include it in our Best Of Southern Bite show from the first half of Season 9. We all love that moment sometime in mid-May when we see fresh, local peaches making their appearance at farmers markets and grocery stores. Until then, grab some of those canned peaches from last season and bake up this scrumptious recipe for Mom’s Peach Cobbler.
4. Tomato Cracker Salad
A tomato sandwich is a Southern summertime favorite. Pack all those same flavors into a side dish with this Tomato Cracker Salad.
3. Mom’s Secret Ingredient Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are so simple and quick, they’re the perfect side item for any weekday meal. But there’s no harm in adding a little zing every now and then. Enter this Southern Bite recipe for Mom’s Secret Ingredient Mashed Potatoes, which ensures your taters will be super flavorful and creamy.
2. Pimento Cheese Cornbread
What can improve cornbread and make it even more Southern? Adding in pimento cheese, of course!
1. Deep Fried Pecan Pies
What can be better than a big slab of pecan pie? That’s easy… an individual serving that’s deep-fried. Stacey Little shows you how to make these scrumptious Deep Fried Pecan Pecans, featuring Priester’s Pecans.
Thank you to all of our show sponsors. Simply Southern would not be possible without all of these folks. Please be sure to visit their webpages and follow their social media accounts!
