The BEST RECIPES of 2024! Everything from dessert, condiments, bread, main dishes, and side dishes. Check it out and see if your favorite made the list!
In keeping with tradition, it wouldn’t be the week between Christmas and New Year’s without the annual roundup of the most popular recipes on BEB.
I always love putting together this list and uncovering which recipes really stood out among readers throughout the year. I’d love to hear if your favorite made the list, and if it didn’t, tell me what it was!
Here we go!
Easy Hashbrown Casserole
Hashbrown casserole is easy, cheesy, takes only minutes to throw together, and is a favorite side dish for holiday dinners from Easter to Christmas, casual weeknight dinners, and potlucks alike. It’s total comfort food!
Crockpot Mac and Cheese
Crock pot mac and cheese is an easy, super cheesy macaroni and cheese recipe made right in the slow cooker, great for a busy weeknight dinner. It comes together quickly and can easily be scaled up, which makes it perfect for potlucks, holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, and any time you are feeding a crowd!
Classic Burger Sauce
If you dig the sauce on Big Macs or the “special sauce” that high-end sandwich joints slather on their burgers, you are going to LOVE this burger sauce!
My Favorite White Bread Recipe
This is a classic white bread recipe, and so easy! The loaves bake up incredibly tall, soft and fluffy… the perfect white bread! It has over 1,800 reviews; it’s the best bread recipe for beginner bread bakers or those nervous to work with yeast.
Traditional Key Lime Pie
This quick and easy key lime pie recipe starts with a graham cracker crust and is filled with a mixture of egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice & zest. Topped with fresh whipped cream and a lime twist garnish, it’s a refreshing pie that tastes like the tropics and is a must-make anytime of year!
Homemade Chicken and Dumplings
Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of fresh homemade chicken and dumplings? A rich, thick soup base is topped with fluffy drop-style dumplings for the ultimate bowl of nourishment.
This recipe is perfect for fall and winter weather as the temperature starts to drop and we all need to be warmed up from the inside out.
Copycat Chipotle Chicken Recipe
This copycat recipe for Chipotle chicken is spot-on, and arguably even better than the original restaurant favorite! The chicken can sit in the marinade overnight for an easy weeknight dinner. Cook the chicken on the stove top, in the oven, on the grill, or in the air fryer, and then use it in your favorite Mexican meal.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
This Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe is an easy classic that features three different layers of flavors including chicken (use canned or rotisserie!) mixed with your favorite buffalo sauce (I always go for Frank’s RedHot!), cream cheese, ranch dressing and, of course, lots of cheese!
Classic Beef Chili
Bring on the comfort food with this thick and hearty ground beef chili recipe! Packed with ground beef, a blend of spices, and beans in a rich and thick tomato sauce, this easy chili recipe is great on its own, on a hot dog, or transformed into Frito pie!
And now, THE most popular recipe on Brown Eyed Baker in 2024…
Grandma’s Banana Nut Bread
Straight from my grandma’s kitchen, this banana nut bread recipe is a tried and true family favorite. This quick bread takes 10 minutes to prep, is loaded with mashed bananas and chopped walnuts, and bakes up super moist and dense.
I want to know – what was YOUR favorite Brown Eyed Baker recipe this year?
Thank you for helping to make 2024 a wonderful year; wishing you all the health and happiness that 2025 has to offer! xo
There is obviously a bundle to know about this. I feel you made some nice points in features also.
I tried all the recipes and it’s really delicious. In particular, I really like the Classic Beef Chili dish. It’s the best thing to eat with geometry dash meltdown.
Hello. fantastic job. I did not expect this. This is a excellent story. Thanks!
What i do not realize is actually how you’re not actually much more well-liked than you might be right now. You are so intelligent. You realize therefore significantly relating to this subject, made me personally consider it from a lot of varied angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it is one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs great. Always maintain it up!
Awsome info and right to the point. I am not sure if this is really the best place to ask but do you guys have any thoughts on where to employ some professional writers? Thanks in advance :)
F*ckin’ amazing things here. I’m very glad to see your post. Thanks a lot and i am looking forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?
The core of your writing whilst sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not really settle properly with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you would do nicely to fill in those gaps. When you actually can accomplish that, I could definitely end up being impressed.
This turned out very well, but I couldn’t get the meringue to peak at all, so I used cool whip instead, and it was still really delicious. Is it possible to substitute allulose for the sugar in this recipe? In this surprisingly easy yet really addicting pico park game, you’ll be screaming with joy and frustration as you make your way across neon landscapes and throbbing sounds.
I used to be suggested this website by means of my cousin. I am no longer sure whether or not this put up is written by him as no one else understand such detailed approximately my problem. You’re amazing! Thank you!
You completed a few fine points there. I did a search on the issue and found most folks will agree with your blog.
A happy, healthy new year to your
entire family Michelle!
Glad to see the chicken & dumplings made the list. I made this for the first time this fall and it was delicious. I have made the walnut pillows probably 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years (currently have a Christmas batch storing in a tin) and each time they have gotten easier and better. Hopefully more people will give them a try and they will make next year’s list :)
Your Pumpkin Bread recipe is the best I have used, and I have made a lot of different pumpkin bread recipes!!
My family is in love with your Baked French Toast Recipe with Praline Topping. I had some heavy cream I needed to use up so I put the recipe together in November and froze it until the day before Christmas. I put it in the refrigerator to thaw and then I spread the praline topping over it and baked it Christmas morning. All I really have to say is the recipe is from The Brown-Eyed Baker and they know it is good.
Have a wonderful 2024, Michelle.
love reindeer chow and the monkey bread, as so many more! wishing you all the best in the new year
Kentucky Butter Cake and the yellow cake were my favorite go to recipes this year. Thanks
Love Grandma’s bananas nut bread, simple and easy to make recipe
I absolutely love your mashed potatoes. I’ve also made your classic chili and father-in-law’s spaghetti sauce recipes numerous times. They’re terrific!
Strawberry pretzel salad was amazing.
Many blessings to you and your family in the new year ahead.
Of the 10 most popular recipes for 2021, Grandma’s Banana Bread is the BEST; moist & full of flavor. But other than that, I don’t have a favorite recipe because every recipe I’ve tried is wonderful. Thanks for sharing all of your amazing recipes.
Happy 2022 to you & your family.
Your meatloaf is our favorite!! We make it all the time and when we do, we make an extra one for the freezer. It freezes beautifully for a quick meal at a later date.
Also love your ground beef chili and am making it Sunday!
One of my favorites of yours, that I make multiple times a year for celebrations is your Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake recipe- so good! :)
Thank you very much for your great recipes! I love making them for my wife and family!
Orange cookies with sweet orange glaze were the favorite this Christmas. Love your blog and so many of your recipes.
I made these too for the first time this year. Definitely a new favourite for cookie exchanges. The tip about rubbing orange zest into sugar makes a big difference to the taste. When I realised I forgot to save zest for the icing, I used a tangerine instead – worked well.
We have become great fans of the refrigerator bread & butter pickles! Once my husband took a bite they became his favorite! I make a batch almost every week. Thanks
We made the Classic white bread and it was wonderful. The aroma alone was worth any effort. We (my husband & I) are not great with yeast recipes but this one was not hard and it was delicious. I had a pic, but can’t find it.
Love your blog!
I’ve made the Oreo Cheesecake so many times I can’t count but I’ve had no complaints from my family! It always bakes perfectly & is delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever made a BEB recipe that was a disappointment!
My well loved printout of your “best chili” recipe is oh so sauce-stained, a bit crumpled, and the first thing I refer to on cold New England days when I need inspiration for a hearty lunch/dinner! Paired with skillet corn bread, this is my favorite chili of all time. Thank you!!!
I tried your Gougères recipe for Thanksgiving and they were fantastic! I love your blog! Also, the hamburger sauce is indispensable all summer long for grilled burgers! Keep up the good work, and have a happy new year!
My daughter and I made your cut out sugar cookies with royal frosting this Christmas and they are the best cut outs ever! I have made many of your recipes throughout the years and they are all fantastic!
Happy New Year!
We make your Chipotle Chicken all the time, even in “winter” here in Florida. Thanks for all the recipes but more so, thank you for the optimism, joy and sunshine that the pictures of your family (including dogs) brought during this somewhat dismal year! (And your Friday and Saturday posts that helped me to know what day it was! HA)
Happy New Year, From one Michele to another. My fave recipe was the apple cake. It was perfect for Rosh Hashanah this crazy year! I look forward to another year of deliciousness and your family.
I have made many of the recipes from your site, and have enjoyed all of them. So far my husband is a huge fan of your chili recipe. But two nights ago we had burgers and I made your recipe for “special burger sauce.” The accolades were unbelievable – I deserve none of them, so I’m passing them on to you. My husband could not stop raving over the burger with the “wonderful sauce,” how “fabulous” it was. Thanks so much for turning what is usually a bland burger into a smashing success.
I have made many of your recipes over the past couple of years. My husband and I love the scalloped potatoes, chili and many others. Two nights ago we had burgers with the “special” sauce and my husband went wild over it. You would have thought I had fixed the most extravagant meal ever -I do love to cook!-but his reaction was insane.
Thanks for making what is usually a very ordinary meal quite extraordinary!
Everything I have made from your site is delicious. One of mine and my families favorites is your banana split pie, it has made two appearances in the last two months (as requested by hosts) and a third one this weekend. I changed the crust and used crushed vanilla sandwich cookies with melted butter. OMG! My family went crazy! Nut’s I tell you. With the left over crushed cookies, at severing I sprinkled them over the top. Just when you think something couldn’t get better it does. My nephew’s graduation party is this weekend, instead of cake he has requested this pie.
Hi Michelle, I’ve made a variation of one or 10 ;-) of your cheesecakes over the years. I also made your corn casserole three times over the holidays and have made your roasted potatoes probably weekly this year. Thanks for all of your quality and classic recipes!
Michelle’s corn casserole is sooo good! I love that one, too.
Your crock pot mac and cheese is always on my Thanksgiving menu! Soooo good!!! I have also made your garlic herb & parmesan roasted red potatoes when we have had family over – always a hit!!
Omg sooo many did not make your list. Creamed corn casserole, beef enchiladas, white chicken chili, and how about the many many baked goods. Too many delicious things to count up the faves. They’re all usually great. Look forward to more new deliciousness in 2020. Happy New Year. Many blessings to you and your family.
Oh my gosh! These all look incredible! That burger sauce and those potatoes look like an award winning combo!

Classic apple pie and bakery style rice krispies 😋!
Two of our favorites made the list: roasted potatoes & crock pot mac & cheese.
The recipe I make the most is the meat sauce recipe-can’t believe that didn’t make the list tho!
