20 Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

One of my secret Thanksgiving weapons is using my slow cooker! I use it for my stuffing (listed below) and my cranberry sauce. I will usually make my cranberry sauce (listed below) a couple of days before and then just store it in the fridge. Using a crock pot is such a great way to free up space.

I found this turquoise 7 quart slow cooker for only $29.00! Or these buffet style crock pots for more than one dish. These hook-able crock pots could be very handy too! Feel free to use my affiliate links for easy shopping.

One of the most favorite side dishes on our table, is Mac and Cheese. I’ve heard it’s a southern thing, but I really wouldn’t know since I’m a Pacific Northwest girl. All I know is I started making it years ago when my son was little and my sister in law would bring Kraft Mac and Cheese to heat up for her children. I figured I could make a better one. I will admit I used velveeta, but they loved it. You’ll have to try my new one listed below. It’s full of homemade goodness.
