5 Easy Thanksgiving Side Dishes

1. Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts

I made bacon wrapped brussels sprouts for the first time last year, and they are SO. GOOD. And so easy! Literally just wrap bacon around brussels and pop ’em in the oven. Easy peasy. Get the recipe here!

2. Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms

These stuffed mushrooms are a staple at all of our family holidays – and for good reason! They smell like heaven as they cook, and even people who don’t usually love mushrooms usually change their mind for these bad boys. It takes a little bit of time to clean all of the shrooms, but once that’s done, it’s really easy. Get the recipe here!

3. Green Bean Casserole (with fresh green beans!)

This Green Bean Casserole is for those of you who also don’t like the OG recipe with canned beans and canned soup 🙈But don’t worry – even though I made it from scratch (minus the crispy onions!), it’s not hard to master at all. Get the recipe here!

4. String Bean Salad

If you know there is only going to be super heavy dishes at your Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving, this string bean salad has been a favorite of mine for years. It’s a nice fresh juxtaposition to all of the butter and starch on the rest of your plate this holiday 😉 Get the recipe here!

5. Crockpot Cranberry Apple Sauce

Even if your crew isn’t ready to ditch the canned cran, this Crockpot Cranberry Apple Sauce is delish – and foolproof! Literally all you have to do is add everything to a crockpot and let it cook. I told you, foolproof. Get the recipe here!
