What's your favorite go to thanksgiving side dish?

I've always hosted before but this year we are going to Son 1 house and I'm taking a couple of side dishes. Asked them what to bring and they said my bean green casserole. I've always made the cheap one right off the French fried onion can with one exception. Since I'm not cooking everything else and i have more time I'd like to be a little more creative.

Do y'all have any recipes you care to share?

In before take it to the food board

Green bean casserole

Potatoes of some sort. Tough to go wrong with a starch.

Pioneer Woman's balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts have been a huge hit every time I've made them. And of course southern cornbread dressing is a must, as well as homemade cranberry sauce.

Broccoli cheese casserole...I'm going to miss having it this year

Au Gratin Potatoes

Dressing and gravy

The day AFTER Thanksgiving: Alton Brown's Thanksgiving re-hash.

Cheesy potatoes: It is a simple recipe, but my kids would never forgive me if I didn't make these every year at Thanksgiving. You don't have to measure anything either, depending on how many you are feeding, just peal, wash and dice your potatoes. Put them in a casserole dish - add salt and pepper to taste - pour milk over the potatoes until milk is about level with the potatoes. Add a few pats of butter - bake in oven @ 350 degrees until potatoes are soft and about 2/3 of the milk is absorbed. Cover the top with a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese and put back in over for a few minutes until cheese is evenly melted.

I'm trying to guilt my mom into making some for me since they will be in Denver, but it doesn't seem to be working

Sweet potatoes cut like fries
Stick o buttah
Cup sugar
Dash vanilla
Large pot
Don't stir much

Fruit trifle or Southern butter coconut pie.

Cornbread dressing followed closely by hashbrown casserole. Prosciutto wrapped green beans are nice too.

Do you make the traditional trifle that includes beef sauteed with pees and onions?

Garlic cheese grits

You're in SA still, correct?

I make a Gruyere Mornay Sauce with sauted mushrooms folded in. That gets mixed with fresh green beans with the ends cut off that have been streamed until crisp-tender. I top it with sliced almonds and fried shallots.

Seems like it'd be a lot easier to just use a can of cream of mushroom.

Roasted poblano, sausage and cornbread stuffing

I'll make you some !!

Honestly, I've given up caring about trying to make Thanksgiving food more awesome. At the end of the day Turkey and Casseroles are all ass my dude. I'll eat a little bite of everything for the sake of Tradition and then get stuffed on Pecan & Buttermilk pie.

I'm looking far more forward to the first pot of Gumbo of the season this weekend than I'm am Turkey day

Mom's dressing.
Aunt's pumpkin pie.

Do a duck & quail gumbo for Thanksgiving. Screw convention.

And I can't really talk. My hashbrown casserole involves grating a couple pounds of potatoes.
