It is best to try a recipe at home first before taking it to a dinner. If you have any food groups you would like a Thanksgiving recipe for just email me. I make soooo many different things for that one meal every year.

Answer 3

If it is for a "Thanksgiving" dinner, make your husband's favorite dish from your normal holiday meal.

If you want to try something different -

"Dip"

2 large cans refried beans
2 pounds hamburger
1 large jar salsa (your preference)
2 pounds shredded cheddar cheese
1 pack taco seasoning
sour cream
tortilla chips

Prepare hamburger as directed on taco seasoning packet. When done, add refried beans and heat through. Then add 3/4 of the cheese and mix till melted. Put remaining cheese on top - serve with sour cream and chips.

If you need a dessert, make fudge, or get some almond bark and pretzels and dip the pretzels.

Whatever you take, I always make something I know my family will eat, just in case I have some to bring back home.

Answer 4

Cranberry chicken wings:
Have the butcher cut wings into three portions each.
Trash the tips or save them for soup.
make a sauce out of cranberries from the jar, Russian dressing [ the dark red one ] and onion soup mix.Adjust amount for amount of wings.
Put wings in a large foil baking dish, add sauce and cook at about 325-350 for an hour or so. Bring lots of napkins.
Everyone will love it.
Plz note this can be used with regular chicken pieces but the wings make a nice presentation for a party.
Have fun

Answer 5

If you can make a dessert I have a recipe to dye for! It is requested when I am visiting and have to bring a dish.

You will need:
1 package of German choc. cake mix
1 large tub of cool whip
1 bag of Crumbled heath bar or 6 Health bars
3 small packages of Jello cheesecake pudding mix

Prepare everything then layer in a large bowl, first some cake, then pudding, then cool whip then crumbled heath bar, you should have enough to layer twice..... It's wonderful, serve it with a spoon, good luck, email me if you have questions.

Answer 6

CrockPot Sausage and Peppers
Mild Italian sausage (10 links)

Crushed tomatoes, large can (non concentrated)

3 green bell peppers

2 red bell peppers

½ yellow onion

Minced garlic, 1 tablespoon

Black pepper, 1 teaspoon



Cut sausage links into 3’s. brown in skillet. Cut peppers and onion into wedges. Add all ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix together. Place in crock-pot on low for 4-6 hours. (How long depends on your crock-pot, browning the sausage before ensures it is cooked well and gets rid of some of the grease)



There you go yum yum

Answer 7

Cheesy potatoes. Easy recipe, travels well and you can add meat to make it a main course. Pumkin rolls are also always good for dessert!!

Answer 8

Banana Pudding. It always disapears.
Mix up two packages vanilla instant pudding with 4 cups milk and layer in a pretty bowl with a layer of pudding, layer of vanilla waffers and a layer of sliced bananas. Continue layering until pudding is gone with pudding as your last layer. Decorate top with more wafers.
