10. Fudge Pudding Cake
Our family's favorite dessert became a popular recipe the moment it was published. Fudge Pudding Cake is made in a cast iron skillet and you won't believe how easy it is.

9. Key Lime Pie Pudding Shots
We love tiny desserts in our family and at Biscuits & Burlap we're firm believers that a splash of booze is a great way to spice up any dish. These Key Lime Pie Pudding Shots are a grown-up version of your favorite tangy dessert!

8. Southern-Style Vegetable Beef Soup
You can't get more classic than Old Fashioned Southern Vegetable Soup. Our readers love the downhome simplicity of it.

7. Chorizo Cheese Bites
We've all had classic sausage balls (right?!) but these Chorizo Cheese Bites are a smoky, slightly spicy version that our readers have been all over.

6. Orange Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Orange Frosting
Orange Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Orange Frosting are an amazing take on white cupcakes. The orange flavor is subtle in the cupcake and a bit bolder in the frosting. No surprise that they made the list of most popular recipes.

2. Macaroni and Cheese Like Mama Made
In this post, Pam said, "My own Mama had lots of specialties, and Macaroni and Cheese was one of my personal favorites. I watched her make it countless times, but I never asked her how she did it, or why she made it the way she did. She’s gone now, and I hope this post will inspire you to ask your Mamas about their dishes while you can." After years of failed attempts, we finally figured out the secret of Mama's macaroni and shared it with our readers.

And... the #1 most popular recipe of 2018...
1. Slow-Cooker Turkey Breast
Number 1 on the list of our most popular recipes of 2018 is our Slow-Cooker Turkey Breast! Our readers love the ease of this main course. The result is the most tender, mouthwatering turkey breast you’ve ever tasted, and it’s practically effortless. Bonus! The drippings in the slow cooker make phenomenal gravy!

Honorable Mention Popular Recipes From Years Past
While y'all loved so many recipes from 2018, there are also a few oldies that just keep our readers coming back. Here are our three most popular recipes from the past that are still going strong in 2018.
Smoked Fish Dip
Smoked Fish Dip is so easy to make and will bring back memories of your vacations on the coast. All you need is a cold beer and a few crackers to go with this dip. It's easy to why this one is one of our more popular recipes.
Recipe: Smoked Fish Dip
Shrimp & Grits
One reader said, "I’ve made this recipe twice and my husband claims it’s the best dish we’ve ever eaten." The rave reviews for our Shrimp & Grits keep rolling in, both from readers who have tried it and from friends and family who eat it in our own home.
Recipe: Shrimp & Grits
Tomato Gravy
Tomato Gravy is one that is so simple that it can hardly be called a recipe, but something magical happened when people came across it on Biscuits & Burlap. Memories came flooding back about how their Mamas used to make tomato gravy. They remembered how and when it was served. They told stories of serving it to their own families or made plans to introduce their kids to the traditional dish. I guess it's plain to see why it became one of our most popular recipes.

At the end of the day, this is always our goal... to remind you of not only the great food and traditions of the South, but of the way food connects people, families, and the past to the future.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for a fantastic 2018. We hope you've enjoyed this look at our most popular recipes.
