My Favorite Thanksgiving Sides

This post contains affiliate links.

If I am being completely honest I could totally eat nothing but sides for Thanksgiving and be totally content. Don’t get me wrong, Turkey is great but the sides are what makes the meal.

I love them all…Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Cranberry Sauce, Deviled Eggs, Homemade Rolls, Mac and Cheese, and Sweet Potato Casserole (Ok, I actually don’t like this but you can’t talk about Thanksgiving and not mention it)!! And then there are my two absolute favorites…Hashbrown Casserole and Hot Corn!!!

Hashbrown Casserole hasn’t always been an absolute favorite but a couple years ago I perfected my recipe and now I can’t so turkey day without it!! I made it last night and my kitchen just smelled absolutely divine!! I found a couple recipes on Pinterest and tweaked them and made it my own. My tweaks may or may not have included a hunk of cream cheese. And you know when there is cream cheese involved everything tastes better!!! Recipe is at the bottom of the post.

Hot Corn is something I had for the first time last year and have been obsessed with ever since. It’s super easy to make is quick to bake so that’s a win win in my book. It’s creamy and kind of spicy and just goes well with everything, especially turkey and dressing!! PS – do you say dressing or stuffing?? I say dressing!!

    Those look SUPER good! I’m with you — it’s all about the sides, and a little dessert!

    YUM! I could totally skip the turkey and dressing and head straight into the sides and dessert. We make a similar hashbrown casserole (though we eat it for breakfast) and it is AMAZING. My true love at family meals is mashed potatoes–I could eat them until I passed out!

    I say dressing, but most of my friends say stuffing.
    We’ve done hash brown casserole for breakfast before; I never thought about it as a side dish for other meals. So yummy!

    These look delicious and different than your typical Thanksgiving side dishes! Our family favorite is Mama’s Cranberry & Apple Dish!
