Southern Living's editorial guidelines Published on April 4, 2025 Close Credit: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley March is a transitional month in the South—it’s not quite full-on spring, but it’s not winter, either. Which means that the food we make is also kind of in between seasons as well. This is even more apparent when looking at our most saved recipes for the month. A mix of comforting and hearty casseroles, creamy pastas, and dishes that nod to spring (Asparagus Casserole, anyone?), it’s a true reflection of the moment.

Cabbage And Potatoes Credit: Dotdash Meredith Food Studio This hearty side eats like a meal. Bacon, green cabbage, and potatoes combine with a little cider vinegar and crushed red pepper for a balanced and flavorful dish. One commenter said: “Terrific recipe! I used a little bit more bacon than called for and about 8 cups of cabbage. Otherwise followed as written and served as a side dish with pork schnitzel in dill cream sauce. Definitely will keep this in my regular meal rotation.” get the recipe Save Fetuccine Alfredo Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox All of the ingredients for this creamy pasta sauce are probably in your pantry, so why reach for the jarred stuff? It only takes about 15 minutes of hands-on cooking time and you’ll end up with the richest noodles of your life. A commenter said: “Absolutely delicious. I will never buy Alfredo sauce in a jar again. Definitely a keeper." get the recipe Company Chicken Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze; Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Stylist: Christina Daley If 2025 is the Year of the Dinner Party, Company Chicken is what’s on the menu. In just 40 minutes, you’ll have zesty chicken (flavored with Italian dressing mix) served with a creamy mushroom pan sauce that will impress everyone around the table. get the recipe Save Cattle Drive Casserole Credit: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Marianne Williams, Prop Stylist: Tucker Vines A Cheddar biscuit crust, creamy ground beef filling, and blanket of cheese on top make this casserole a guaranteed crowd pleaser. The recipe is flexible, too, as one commenter pointed out: “We really enjoyed this recipe. We made only one change because we didn't have biscuit mix so we used tater tots. It turned out great!” get the recipe Save Boursin Pasta Credit: Robby Lozano; Food Stylist: Marianne Williams; Prop Stylist: Tucker Vines Sometimes you need a comforting dinner that practically cooks itself. Which is why this 4-Ingredient Boursin Pasta is so ingenious. The spreadable cheese packs so much flavor that all you need is a vegetable (cherry tomatoes) and the pasta itself. And maybe a little extra cheese on top. One commenter said: “This was SO easy and delicious. Will definitely be a repeat in our house! We added some meatballs at the end for a little extra protein, but it would be great with shrimp, rotisserie chicken, scallops—whatever you prefer.” get the recipe Save Swamp Cabbage Credit: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley This old-timey Florida recipe livens up cabbage with bacon, sausage, tomatoes, plus hearts of palm and other vegetables and seasonings. Many folks gave this unusual recipe a try and discovered a new favorite, like this commenter: “Followed the instructions, used all ingredients listed and my family loved it. First time ever using hearts of palm but was quite pleased. It was a big improvement from my usual fried cabbage.” Cornbread Cowboy Casserole Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox This stick-to-your-ribs recipe is like ground beef-and-bean chili topped with a layer of gooey cheese and a layer of golden cornbread. Commenters raved about this dish and many said they like the convenience of using a cornbread mix, like Jiffy. get the recipe Save Asparagus Casserole Credit: CAITLIN BENSEL; FOOD STYLIST: TORIE COX A sure sign of spring, bright green stalks of asparagus are starting to pop up at markets. This cheesy casserole topped with Parmesan breadcrumbs is a delicious way to enjoy this seasonal vegetable. get the recipe Save Cheese Dreams Credit: Antonis Achilleos; Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn A perennial favorite for parties and gatherings, Cheese Dreams are one of our most popular appetizers of all time. Made with Cheddar, white bread, and a few pantry staples, these tender, savory squares magically taste like way more than the sum of their parts. get the recipe Save Southern Sticky Chicken Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze; Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey; Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless We’re always on the hunt for new ways to jazz up chicken, and this recipe delivers with a tangy and sweet glaze made with glaze of honey, ketchup, cider vinegar, and spices. Served with rice and broccoli (or the vegetable of your choice), it’s a complete meal that comes together easily. One commenter shared: “My entire family liked the chicken, which is unusual. Typically at least one kid doesn't like something so it was nice to find something that everyone will eat. get the recipe Save Explore more: Food and Recipes Dish Was this page helpful?
