Classic Delicious Dishes:
1. Hot-Water Cornbread
2. Turnip Greens Stew
3. Golden Macaroni and Cheese
4. Buttermilk Dressing Coleslaw

For this collection we've chosen some all-time favorites as well as a new recipe for the beloved mac and cheese--this one coming from Louise Floyd of Potters Station, Alabama. Her version was a huge hit, receiving our highest rating. We loved Louise's easy method for making the thickener for the cheese sauce. She simply shakes the ingredients in a quart jar. You'll find more shortcuts in our other recipes: Turnip Greens Stew and Collard 'n' Black-eyed Pea Stew use frozen and canned products, and the Buttermilk Dressing Coleslaw uses packaged shredded cabbage.
