A Taste of Home, Without the Fuss
There’s something about a Southern casserole that brings comfort, warmth, and togetherness to the dinner table. But when life gets busy, homemade meals can feel out of reach. That’s where Dirt Road Gourmet steps in—delivering the flavor of home-cooked casseroles without the hassle.
Made right here in Alabama, Dirt Road Gourmet offers a no-fuss solution for hearty, comforting meals with real Southern roots. And during Buy Alabama Best Month, there’s never been a better time to support this local brand.
“When you buy Alabama-made products, more of your money stays in your community. That’s something we’re proud to support at Piggly Wiggly Birmingham.”
“If every Alabama household spent just $10 a week on Alabama-made goods, we would add over $1 billion annually to our state’s economy.”
Meet the Maker: Alabama Roots, Family Traditions
Founded by Barbara Burrell, Dirt Road Gourmet is a women-owned business born from the heart of Elba, Alabama. What started as a love for family recipes turned into a company that shares those same traditions with families across the state.
Each casserole is handmade in small batches, rooted in Barbara’s family kitchen and guided by Southern values. Choosing Dirt Road Gourmet means supporting a local Alabama entrepreneur who brings flavor, authenticity, and care to every bite.
