Thanksgiving Day Sides

thetrim

Good evening.

With the holiday coming up, I thought we might like a spot to put some recipes of the sides you'll be making.  I have some traditional ideas, but saw this recipe and thought to myself, "Self, this has the forum written ALL OVER it".

I had to share it...

I look forward to seeing what others on here are making

Digging the green bean casserole bundles! I usually get voluntold to make sweet potato casserole and chicken cornbread dressing for the holidays. Although, I need to venture out more with the sides. Hopefully, I will have time this year (working 7am-6pm mon-wed though). I am not a huge fan of marshmallows or meringue as a topping for sweet potato casserole/souffle so I have been using this recipe lately.

watch out for the 1 cup of sugar haha!

I usually go for about 1/4- 1/3 cup instead.

I'm going to try to a new recipe, Curried Roasted Carrots, cooked in the BGE along with the turkey.  It looks easy and I love curry.

I'm anxious to try it so I might put some in with the chicken I'm roasting tonight.

Geez, Nola, you had to go and drop those....

Why go to Nawlins for Mardi Gras, Jazz FEst, Brisket Camp?  Maybe Thanksgiving would be the best time to visit????

My late MIL used to do Oyster dressing. She and my wife were the only ones who would touch it. My wife only to humor her mom. I tried it... once. Blech!!

I like cranberry salad.

Incredible!  These carrots are one of the best things I've pulled off the grill and I'm not even a big fan of carrots.

We have found adding some sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese to the regular green beans casserole recipe makes it much better.

I’ve made those before and they are great.  Hope you enjoy them

This dish was a favorite of my Father's for years. Now 60+ years later though with some changes it still is mine and my family's.

2.5 sticks of butter

 

¼ cup chopped green pepper

½ cup half and half

 

 

Saute’ mushrooms in 1 stick of butter for 5 to 10 minutes. Add green pepper and salt. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes longer.

P&J's recipe is closest to my family's recipe - any good oyster dressing has to have chicken livers in it.  We also add some spinach, and maybe a little Herbsaint, so it's almost like a Rockefeller dressing.
