anyone know any good thanksgiving side dish recipes?

Question

YAY

Answer 1

This is a very easy recipe to make and very tasty as well. Canned yams/sweet potatoes can be substituted for fresh, but the flavor is just not quite the same.

Kings Arms Tavern Sweet Potatoes

3-pounds sweet potatoes
¾-cup light brown sugar, packed divided
3-tablespoons butter
5 teaspoons cinnamon
½-teaspoon nutmeg
¼-teaspoon salt
1-cup milk

Preheat oven to 400º
Grease 1½ quart casserole
Cook sweet potatoes in boiling salted water until done; drain peel and mash them.

Stir in all the remaining ingredients except 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Turn the mixture in to prepared casserole and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake at 400º for 30 minutes.

*********************************************************************
Lime Jell-O Mold

1 large box Lime Jell-O
8 ounces Cream Cheese - room temperature
1 can Crushed Pineapple - chilled
8 ounce container of Cool Whip

Drain pineapple saving liquid to use in Jell-O. Make Jell-O using the quick-set instructions replacing some of the cold water with the pineapple juice. Make sure gelatin is well dissolved. Place in fridge until semi-set. In a blender combine cream cheese and pineapple until well blended. Mix into semi-set Jell-O than fold in Cool Whip. Pour into a gelatin mold and refrigerate until set or over night. To serve, unmold onto a plate large enough for the mold.

Answer 2

I've always associated corn with the fall and Thanksgiving meal. Here is a wonderful (sweet) recipe to try. Everyone seems to love this.

Baked Corn

3 eggs
1-14 ¾ ounce Can Cream Style Corn
1-14 ounce can Eagle brand sweetened milk (low fat or fat free is OK)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon corn starch

Separate the eggs and mix all ingredients except egg whites. Beat the egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Fold egg whites into the mixture.

Place in a covered 1.6 liter – 2 qt. casserole dish, bake at 350 covered for 30 minutes, remove cover and bake 30 minutes more

Answer 3

Cranberry Sauce with Marmalade and Cinnamon

Makes about 3 cups

1 1/2 cups orange marmalade
1/3 cup orange juice
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half (maybe a 3 or 4 inch piece)
one 12 ounce bag of cranberries.

Melt the marmalade and orange juice in a medium saucepan, put in the cinnamon stick, bring the mixture to a boil. Mix in the cranberries, bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, simmer until the berries burst and the sauce thickens a bit, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

This is from the Epicurious website. Has a lot of rave reviews, I've made it several times with complete success. The FULL recipe has black pepper and 1/3 cup minced fresh italian parsely, which most people leave out.

Answer 4

Try this one, it is easy and doesn't require alot of ingredients:

Baked Rice Casserole

1 cup rice, uncle bens or mahatma works the best, not minute rice
2 cans beef consomme
2 tbsp margarine

Melt the margarine in a non-stick frying pan and add the rice.Brown the rice strring constantly until it is evenly browned. Pour the rice into a 2 quart casserole dish and add the consomme and stir it in. Cook @ 325 for one hour. All of the liquid should be absorbed, if it isn't, because ovens vary, put it back and leave it for 5-10 more minutes. It is incredibly good to be so easy. Hope you try it and like it.

Answer 5

Baked Brie
Take a Brie round pre spray (I use Crisco over pam)
place in a casserole dish.
Then on the side in a pan warm a stick of butter, some
brown sugar, almonds & a liqour (Cointreau or mild Brandy)
stir don't boil... then toss on the Brie, bake slightly not even 10 minutes as it melts quick. Get a really good bread that mixes with your meal. It's meant as an appetizer but works with the tastes of a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

It's different. Very rich yet OOOO so Good !!

Answer 6

Take a bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower and put it in a casserole type dish (or something glass that you can use to heat) then add a small package of Velveeta cheese cut into chunks and small package of cream cheese cut into chunks. Heat in the microwave for a couple of minutes and stir, then repeat until the cheese is all melted and nice a creamy. This is a great dish that is easy and doesn't take up more space in the oven.
