At some point in life we all grow up and are now becoming responsible for not only our little family we are building but to take on some more responsibilities of our family during those Holiday seasons. Here you will read the Thanksgiving dinner I will be putting together for the first time for my family. I have looked and looked for those mouth-watering recipes to make and to be a home run for everyone's stomach! Especially that turkey and ham! Cannot mess those up!
Get ready to dive into the top dishes that will be easy for beginners to make you look like you have been doing this for a while!
Items that may be needed if you do not already have them.
Roasting Pan
Circulon Nonstick Roasting Pan / Roaster with Rack - 17 Inch x 13 Inch, Gray
Meat Thermometers
Wireless Digital Smart Meat Thermometer
Instant Read Meat Thermometer
Let’s Get Started:
Side Dishes
1. Mac & Cheese
Having a homemade mac and cheese is a must! The cheesy goodness with a little crispy on top!
2. Stove Top Stuffing with Sausage
For this recipe, you can choose not to do the sausage and go with regular stuffing. This is a quick and easy stuffing for those already making multiple dishes and want to have this be an easy dish to make the day of Thanksgiving.
3. Honey Glazed Carrots
Give carrots a little twist of sweetness and people will love them!
4. Homemade Mashed Potatoes
Mashed Potatoes are delicious and easy to make! You can always add your own little dazzle if you want to add a little something of your own to this dish!
5. Easy Green Bean Casserole
Yes, you read that right, EASY. I am all about easy and not too complicated when it comes to making dishes. Especially when you are a beginner! The one item I did choose to replace was the Creamy mushroom soup with Creamy Onion Soup and Creamy Celery Soup. Just a little suggestion if you are not much of a mushroom fan like me!
6. Sweet Potatoe Casserole
There are a lot of different options for doing sweet potatoes, but I wanted one without the pecans and added a little more sweetness. Almost could be a dessert, my husband said.
Now time for Meat
1. Oven Roasted Turkey
This is a great beginner's "how to" cook a turkey. She shows you through a video and detailed pictures as she goes down the list of directions. If you want to look like this is not your first time making a turkey then this is a must!!
2. Crockpot Ham
When you are the main cook for the whole Thanksgiving Lunch/Dinner, then this Crockpot ham will be a lifesaver on oven space. Having to time everything out and making sure everything will be cooked and still warm is a challenge, so this will be a major help if you are low on oven space.
