I never serve turkey on Christmas. It's usually beef or pork (not ham).
Crown Roast of Pork (easy, looks impressive)
Baked Sweet Potatoes w/ maple syrup & butter
Cauliflower & Broccoli w/ Hollandaise sauce
Yeast Rolls (look for Sister Shubert's frozen ones!)
Prime Rib (easy, looks impressive)
Twice Baked Potatoes or Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole
Sauteed Mushrooms & baby onions (use frozen baby onions)
Roasted Asparagus
Yeast Rolls

I have a roast beef recipe that cooks in the crock pot. It takes about 15 min to throw in the pot and another 15 or 20 to get to the table so on a busy holiday it's perfect.
Perfect Roast Beef and Potatoes
1 roast - sirloin, tri-tip, chuck or whichever cut you prefer
6-7 russet potatoes
2 med onion
1 Tbls Schilling Montreal Steak seasoning, divided
1 cp water
Scrub the potatoes or peel them if you prefer, cut them lengthwise into quarters. Slice the onion, set aside 5 good slices and layer the rest with the potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour in 1 cp of water and then sprinkle all with 1 tsp of the Montreal Steak seasoning.
Rub the roast with the other 2 tsp of seasoning and place it on top of the potatoes. The fatty side of the roast should be up so that the juices and flavor season everything below as it cooks. (Do not trim the fat, it will contribute to a dry, tough roast.) Stick the reserved onion slices down each side of the roast so it's surrounded. Put the lid on and cook on low for 12-20 hours. Yes 20 hrs, I usually get this started one night before bed and then we have it for dinner the next night.
To serve, remove the roast to a serving plate. Scoop the potatoes and onion to a bowl with a slotted spoon. I love the beef juices just as they are but you can add a couple of tsps of flour and cook on high for 10-15 min to thicken to a gravy consistency.
Cooking so long makes the roast so tender and juicy that it's spoiled me for roast cooked any other way. The potatoes are infused with the beef flavor and are delicious. Put them on your plate, mash them slightly with a fork and spoon a bit of the beef juices over them (or gravy if you prefer).
Mmmmm, I'm craving it now.

Roast Beef has been popular at our house. Roast Beef with some usual Thanksgiving sides like mashed potatoes and gravy, yams, green bean casserole, then make custard to drink and lots of appetizers so people can graze....

I always cook Italian food. I grew up on homemade sauce and I make it. I make eggplant ( sometimes) stuffed shells, and lasagne.
