File' Gumbo
Recipe by:
MWILLETT
My Great-great grandmother's recipe, modified over 4 generations. I still can't believe it was FINALLY written down! The gumbo should be thin but not watery. P.S .-- I have a 3-gallon pot that I use to cook this and it is usually about 3/4 full. (Make sure you know the basics of making roux before you try this. If the roux is not dark brown, the gumbo will not have the rich taste necessary to give it that special taste). This is good for several days. It can also be frozen and reheated. Enjoy!
Jalapeno Cornbread
Recipe by:
Dennis Scofield
This is a wonderful one-pan meal that you can add to in many ways. You can substitute refried beans for the meat to make it for vegetarians. You can use any type of cheese, meat, or peppers you want. That is what makes this a excellent meal. It's great the next day reheated. Serve on bed of lettuce and top with sour cream and picante sauce.
Easy Southern Meatloaf Recipe
Recipe by:
ATLATINMAN
I wanted to make a truly Southern meatloaf like my 'Redneck' buddies make sometimes when I visit. They never wrote the recipe down. This is my best approximation of Southern meatloaf. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. You can serve this Southern meatloaf either hot or cold.
Bourbon Brined St. Louis Ribs
Your favorite bourbon (along with cider, orange juice and Worcestershire sauce) gives extra flavor to these tasty smoked ribs.
Mom's Stick to Your Ribs Southern Style Spaghetti Sauce
Handed down to me from my mom. This is vaguely Italian. This stuff is meant to be made by the gallons and to feed the entire neighborhood. It sticks to your ribs, and is hearty and warming. You can add red pepper flakes for a bit more kick. I usually add a little more salt and pepper for my own taste. This makes about 18 cups (My best guess. It makes a WHOLE lot) and it freezes well. I make the entire thing and freeze portions in large plastic resealable bags. Sauce for the rest of the month!

Multi-Cheese Macaroni
Recipe by:
Justin
You can use any kinds of cheeses you want, I've listed my usual favorites, just remember too much cheese is too much cheese, if there is such a thing? Just for fun I sometimes boil food coloring into the pasta, gives it a weird yet neat looking effect.
Texas Twice-Baked Potatoes
Recipe by:
SARASOTATIM
Spicy stuffed potatoes that will fill you up right, Southern style! The spiciness is adjustable, of course, to suit everyone's tastes. Takes some time to prepare, but well worth the effort!
Alabama Rammer Jammer Bacon Cheeseburger
Being born and reared in Alabama, I've learned a lot of traditional Southern recipes along the way. This burger is a Southern food smorgasbord, including beef patties prepared with dale's Seasoning, fried green tomatoes, and Alabama white sauce that I've used to dress what I call "the Southern Sampler Slaw," made with sweet potatoes, peaches, apples and Vidalia onion. And it's all sandwiched between two hoecakes. Now that's Southern cookin', y'all!
