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.

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.
