The Best Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

We talk about reminiscence and recreating family recipes all the time when cooking and the green bean casserole is, for sure, a Thanksgiving classic. Oddly, this is a dish my mother NEVER made when I was growing up. I think I tasted it for the first time when I was about 30 years old. I know the classic base uses store-bought soup mix and fried onions. If you can cut the onions thinly using a mandoline slicer, that makes the task easier. Of course, store-bought fried onions can also be a good shortcut if you want to save time. It is also surprising how rewarding it can be to make it all from scratch!

Once when I had leftover sweet potato pie filling, I wondered what I could do with it. Y'all know I don't like to waste food! So, I thought it would be fun to combine two of my favorite things: cornbread and sweet potato pie. The filling gets swirled into the cornbread batter for a sweet and savory mashup that everyone is sure to love.

This style of cornbread was born hundreds of years ago out of necessity: Unlike wheat, corn grew easily in the South, so cooks found all sorts of ways to transform it. Cornbread in a cast-iron skillet is a Southern classic!

The slow cooker takes an already-simple classic recipe and makes it even easier. Simply toss cut russet potatoes, butter and a touch of salt and pepper into a slow cooker, turn it on low and walk away for a few hours. When you return, the potatoes will be perfectly tender and ready to be mashed. Best of all, the slow cooker traps all the potato flavor, making these spuds extra potatoey.

This comforting side dish takes a couple of supermarket short-cuts: Buy pre-sliced mushrooms and canned french-fried onions to save on prep time. The raw cremini mushrooms are thrown right into the slow cooker and release their savory goodness while the green beans cook.

This salad checks a lot of boxes for the Thanksgiving table. Seasonal? Check. Colorful? Check. Delicious? Double check! Every bite is filled with crunchy goodness from vegetables, seeds, nuts and fruit. The cabbage and Brussels sprouts make this a hearty salad, while the carrot, apple and cranberry add wonderful sweetness. It’s a bountiful, piled-high dish that’s bound to be a favorite holiday side.

This sweet potato casserole is sprinkled with a nutty crumb topping to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes down below. The filling gets an extra special pumpkin pie(ish) treatment with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor. (In fact, leftovers can be heated up and topped with a scoop of ice cream just like pie.) Want to make ahead for Thanksgiving or another special holiday? Not a problem. The casserole ingredients can be mixed and transferred to a baking dish. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake but leave off the topping. Store it separately at room temperature in an air-right container and sprinkle it on right before baking.

Shiitake-Squash Mashed Potatoes

Candied sweet potatoes have long been a celebrated side dish during the holiday season but we have removed some of the sweetness (no marshmallows!) and made them even easier by cooking them in a slow cooker. We cut the potatoes into thick rounds so they hold up during the cooking process. The resulting tender sweet potatoes glazed with butter and spices are just sweet enough to make them the perfect accompaniment to your favorite poultry or pork dish.

This hearty stuffing requires no use of a stove-top or oven-simply add cut-up stale French bread, a few vegetables and sweet Italian sausage to a slow cooker and let the machine do the rest. Only a small amount of chicken broth is necessary because the vegetables and sausage give off so much liquid (and flavor).

This is the stuffing for mushroom lovers. All the savory flavors of stuffed mushrooms are incorporated into the cubed-bread casserole itself, including sausage, diced bell pepper, scallions, parsley and thyme. Then the top gets covered with individual stuffed mushroom caps for an irresistible presentation that’s bound to wow. Plenty of broth and butter keep the stuffing juicy and moist, while a topping of panko and Parmesan gets wonderfully browned and crispy for a classic stuffing contrast.

Save yourself the hassle of stuffing individual mushrooms and make this casserole instead. You get all the flavors of the classic dish with a fraction of the prep time.
