Must Have Side Dish For Thanksgiving
What is the one side dish that you cannot do without on Thanksgiving. Besides Turkey, stuffing, ham, potatoes and that green bean casserole!!! I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in years!!!
|
I saw a recipe on allrecipes.com called almond cranberry squash bake. I will be making this. Sounds scrumptious. I always make creamed onions.
|
qot to have candied sweet
potatoes |
Yams, corn, olives (black), home made rolls, home made cranberry sauce
|
Candied yams or glazed carrots...yummy!
|
Hash Brown Casserole...my wife makes the BEST
|
I have a wonderful recipe for a vegetable casserole with a Ritz Cracker topping that has become a favorite with my family. It is easy, nutritious and very good!
|
Corn bread stuffing with crasins, pecans and sausage. And don't forget the deviled eggs
|
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/e...ipe/index.html is excellent and has been used by us now for several years.
A fancy thing we do is wrap 2 fresh asparagus spears in a piece of bacon and cook in a skillet on med/low or grill on a low heat until bacon is crisp and asparagus is cooked tender, they are so yummy! |
broccoli and rice casserole
|
Corn, fruit salad and green olives are requested by all grandkids.
|
Now that sounds yummy. How do i get that recipe. I am a sucker for hashbrowns.

Gradually add cream, milk, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Boil and stir for 2 minutes. Add corn, heat through. Transfer to ungreased 1 1/2 quart broiler proof dish.

Creamed corn casserole
|
Watergate Salad
Just google it for the recipe.
|
Creamed onions.....my Mom's favorite!
|
Corn Pudding.
|
Rather than that "green bean" casserole, I make Grean Bean vingerette. Olives are a must!!!
|
Hay hand rolls this is a yeast bread that you make up and referogate up to 5 days but at least overnight than you punch down again and make dinner rolls also have to have strawberry pretzel salad
|
Sweet potatoes with walnut crunch topping, scalloped oysters (my husband's family tradition) & the latest that everyone loves is cornbread sausage stuffing done in the crockpot.
And this is my 1000th post!! Yippee! |
Must have is a corn casserole, mixture of creamed and niblet corn with some swiss cheese and cream cheese. Got the recipe from a now Ex-SIL and I have to say this recipe is the nicest thing she ever did for our family. Regular sides are mashed potatoes, lightly candied yams, cranberry sauce (jelly and whole) and stuffing.
I'm cooking this year, DIL and DGD are bringing most of the sides and I'm making the turkey, apple pies and butternut squash soup. I'd like to add a new green veggie dish. We're tired of the that green bean one with mushroom soup and the broccoli and rice one. Does anyone have a good green veggie dish that isn't too rich? |
I also have a great "green rice" recipe and also corn casserole-let me know if you are interested in either recipes
|
For me it's the oyster dressing. Yum.
Oyster Dressing Ingredients 6 tbs oil 1 ½ cups finely chopped yellow onions ¾ cup finely chopped green bell pepper ¾ cup finely chopped celery ½ teaspoon salt cayenne pepper or Tony’s Chachere’s creole seasoning to taste 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon minced garlic ½ cup finely chopped green onions, green tops and whites ¼ cup finely chopped parsley ½ cup chicken stock ½ bag Pepperidge Farm Seasoned Bread Cube (blue pk) 1 large egg 1 qt fresh oysters, drained and chopped, and their strained liquor Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heavily butter a 2-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside. 2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, celery, salt, cayenne, and bay leaves to the pan and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, green onions, and parsley, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir the chicken stock into the vegetables and remove from the heat. 3. Add the bread cubes and stir well to incorporate. Break the egg into the mixture and stir well, then add the oysters and their liquor. Pour the oyster dressing into the prepared pan, sprinkle with Italian Bread Crumbs and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbling on top, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (If the dressing is too juicy, add some Italian Bread Crumbs). 4. Remove the pan from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings. |
Brussel sprouts. My former MIL used to make these with bacon a little sugar, salt and vinegar and I would eat most of them. They are delish. Gotta have buttermilk pie for dessert too, oh, and a home made pound cake (Joy of
Cooking recipe). Yum, to die for! |
I do a yam casserole and a cranberry salad that my family loves.

Whats great about this no worrys about keeping it Hot!! |
NO ONE on either side of our family will even TOUCH green bean casserole ... LOL ... so we always have broccoli-rice casserole and a hash brown potato casserole. Sometimes a corn casserole too.
Some don't like stuffing at all (IMHO they're crazy !) they always ask for the hash brown casserole. I usually make a yummy yellow squash casserole too, much like the Black Eyed Pea's recipe. Lots of casseroles ! Guess it wouldn't be Turkey Day without casseroles !! |

I call it dressing too. Your recipe is exactly like mine! Friends here in CA think I'm crazy to cook cornbread and biscuits for a dressing!! I love to sample the uncooked dressing,(before adding the eggs) Luv it, can hardly wait till Turkey day, Thanks an have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I'm making a green bean casserole that calls for frozen green beans, water chestnuts, fresh mushrooms and a cream sauce..and i top it with French's onions out of a can.....it is awesome. However, I LOVE the tinny taste of the typical greenbean casserole with canned green beans and canned soup ! Too, my stuffing, actually we call if dressing, is pretty good also....make with fresh cooked corn bread, homemade biscuits, mixed with homemade broth, along with cooked celery and onions, a boatload of sage, mixed with beaten eggs and baked until the consistency of a really moist cornbread.........such a southern down home tradition in my family !

Oh wow Chris, this sounds great, I'm going to try this. Thanks, and have a great Turkey Day!

I too taste it before the eggs.......my aunt used sage, almost too much, but I love the peppery taste of sage......not poultry seasoning because it is usually diluted with other seasonings, I love the sage flavor. I'm a bit surprised that even in CA you embrace this same type recipe...thought it was only here in the south....but that is ok, you just can't keep good taste regional !!!!!
|
Gonna try this creamed corn recipe....was looking for another dish for dinner, not being a sweet potato fan, I wanted something that would add another color, hence your creamed corn ! Looking forward to it ! Happy Thanksgiving !
|
My DH cannot go without creamed pearl onions.
|
I make a jello salad. desolving cinnamon red hots in water 2 cups of water, large package of raspberry jello, 2 cups of apple sauce let set and top with dairy topping with a little mayo in it. 1 table spoon is ok. family fav for years
|
I make a broccoli casserole:
20 oz frozen or fresh broccoli, 1 can cream of mushroon soup, 2 eggs, 1 Tbsp finely chopped or dry onion flakes, 1/2 cup mayo , 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded cheese, 1/2 to 1 stack of Ritz crackers, smashed. mix all but 1 c cheese and Ritz crackers together and put in sprayed casserole. Top with crushed Ritz and cheese and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 about 45 mins, maybe just a bit more. Broccoli Salad: Make dressing first so it can set and meld: 1 to 2 cups of good mayo, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar or Truvia and let sit until other things are mixed. Broccoli florets, fresh and cut in bite size pieces Cauliflower florets, fresh and cut in bite size pieces red onion, coarsely chopped craisins or raisins (I like Craisins) broken pecan pieces, coarse crispy bacon, chopped coarse (or use Hormel Real Bacon Bits from pkg) Mix together, add dressings and mix until all dressing is distributed, put in serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, put in fridge at least 2 or 3 hrs to meld. I never have any of this salad left. When I take a large bowl to church suppers it goes right away and people will say "I didn't get any". I have used this as a first course salad and as a side dish, always a hit. I did not put measured amounts as I just mix up how much I think I will need of the broccoli and cauliflower (sometimes make it without the cauliflower), then add other ingredients to go with the amount of vegs I have. Hope this will help, delma |
I know this is regional but I just can't do without sauerkraut. This is a must in Maryland. I put the turkey neck in it for flavor.
