WHATS your FAVORITE AND EASIEST SIDE DISH TO MAKE?

Question

..I'm making a "crown roast " pork for dinner on xmas...and am looking for an easy side dish, but something rather "unique"...not the green bean casserole...Something different,...potatoes or veggie dish, any ideas?

Answer 1

I make a real good corn casserole
1 can creamed
1 can sweet
1 box of Jiffy corn muffing mix
1/2 stick butter

Mix the corns and the mix and add the melted butter. Pour into a casserole and bake at 375 for 45 min.
DELISH!

Answer 2

Sweet and sour brussels sprouts

2 pkgs (about 1 1/2 lbs) Brussels sprouts cut in half
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp salt
12 tsp black pepper
1 medium red pepper cut in thin strips
1/2 cup thin sliced red onion (about half of a med size)

Mix together in a casserole dish, cover and bake for about an hour at 375. If the oven temp is lower, it will take longer, if the temp is higher, it will take less time - but not much. Stir once or twice during cooking to make sure the sprouts get sauced.

Answer 3

Hashbrown casserole....

2 lb. frozen hash browns, defrosted
1/2 cup melted butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pt. sour cream
1/2 cup peeled, chopped Vidalia or sweet type onion
2 cups grated sharp cheddar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 cups crushed bread crumbs or corn flakes crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F. Defrost hash browns and drain well. Combine next 7 ingredients. Mix with hash browns. Put all in a 3 qt. Casserole. Sauté bread crumbs or corn flakes lightly in butter and sprinkle on top. Cover and bake at 350 for about 40 min.

Answer 4

Twice baked potatoes! Throw them in the microwave until they are soft, scoop out the insides add cream cheese or sour cream - or a little of both, mix it up and add the potatoe cheese mixture back into the potato skins. Stick in the fridge or freezer until the day you are ready and add cheddar cheeese on top, heat them in the oven and when they are the right temp, add some chopped chives and wallaaaa! a wonderful filling side dish that everyone loves!

Or spice cheesy cauliflower... cook cauliflower in water or steam, drain cauliflower, add cheddar cheese, mayonaise and spicy mustard, cook until cheese is melted and mayo is well blended - it sounds strange but it's always a hit! :)

Good luck!

Answer 8

green beans and bacon.

cut up about a pound of bacon in tiny peices and cook on low heat in a pot and when they are warm, not cooked all the way add a can off drained green beans. Heat on low heat until enough of the grease from the bacon has come out and the green beans are cooked.

They are really fattening but OMG delicious. Seriously!

Answer 10

Chipotle Mashed Potatoes

I N G R E D I E N T S
2 pounds (900 g) potatoes, peeled, boiled, and mashed
6 tablespoons (90 ml) butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (or more to taste)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper (capsicum), seeded and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground cumin
1 canned chipotle pepper (or to taste), finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Combine the mashed potatoes, 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of the butter, and cream in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Melt the remaining butter in a skillet and sauté the onion, pepper, and cumin until the onion is tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir the onion mixture into the potatoes. Add the chipotle pepper (**note, that is one pepper, not one can of peppers), salt, and pepper, and taste to adjust the seasoning. Spoon the mixture into a buttered casserole and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 20 minutes.
