I make a broccoil and cheese cassarole with rice that everyone goes crazy for, candied sweet potatoes ( real not canned) mashed potatoes, stuffed mushrooms and stuffing.
If you want the recipes for any of them i'd be glad to give them to you

Thanks ladies!

I was looking for a marshmallow topped sweet potato dish - thanks Jess!

Justme4u - I would love the stuffed mushroom recipe!

Thanks so much everyone!!!

We're having 24 people (my family and his) - 8 are kids...

I'm thinking two 14-15 pound turkeys...

mashed potatoes

sweet potatoes

corn

creamed spinach

green bean casserole

glazed carrots

Do I need to make the sides big enough to feed everyone?

Re: Please post your Thanksgiving Side Dishes...

Stuffed Mushrooms

3 boxes of whole mushrooms
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1 onion chopped
butter
sweet italian sausage meat the pattys if you can find if not i get the skinny preemio kind and take the meat out of the casings


Take stems off of mushroooms and with a small spoon spoon out the insides of mushrooms without breaking them
Chop stems and insides of mushrooms i use a food processer for this
in frying pan fry sausage meat and break with wooden spoon as it cooks
( if you have a food processer u can chop up the meat once its cooked)

in a separate pan over medium heat melt 2 tblsp butter

add chopped onion,
cook till softened about 5-10 minutes stirriing as you cook
place mushrooms on cookie sheet or baking tray
in a mixing bowl, mix sausage meat and onion, cheese, and bread crumbs together. You can now taste it and see if you want to add more cheese ore breadcrumbs before you fill the mushrooms

fill each mushroom with mixture.sprinkle parm cheese over the mushrooms.place a little dab of butter on each mushroom or you can drizzle olive oil over the tops of the mushrooms, i prefer the butter, i think its gives better flavor


bake at 350* oven for 30 minutes but start to check these at 20 mintues and every 5 mintues thereafter as ovens vary. when you see these browned its time for them to come out . they can cook very fast because they aren't that big but it depends on the oven

when i made these for the first time i made a smaller batch with a roasting chicken dinner to see how they came out. they are so good and everyone requests them every year on thaknsgiving


hope you like them!

Green bean casserole - I make it the traditional way, and a gluten free way since one of my sisters is Celiac.

Mashed potatos

Yams (I change up every year how I make them)

Avocado and tomato salad

Cornbread/Chestnut Stuffing

Fresh Cranberry Sauce

Usually some other sort of veggie, I always decide at the last minute
