What is your all time favorite Thanksgiving Side Dish?

I think my all time favorite dish would be green bean casserole. Most years my brother and mom make the classic recipe with mushroom soup. This year we are on our own for Thanksgiving, so I decided to change it up a bit.

1 (10oz) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup milk
2 (9 oz) pkgs frozen french cut green beans
1 1/3 cup Frenches fried onions original flavor
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup crimini mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup shitaki mushrooms chopped
1/8 tsp pepper

Thaw out the green beans.

Slightly freeze the bacon for easy slicing. Cut up into 1/4 inch slices. In a medium sauce pan cook bacon until crispy on medium heat. Remove bacon and drain all but 1 tablespoon fat. Add in mushrooms and cook until they slightly change color (about 5 min).

In a medium bowl mix soup, milk, and pepper. Gently stir in green beans, bacon, mushrooms, and 2/3 cup onions. Pour into a 2 qt casserole dish.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, or until hot.

Top with remaining 2/3 cups onions. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until onions are golden.

II make greenbean casserole every year, but I don't care for mushrooms. So I use cream of celery soup instead and I put lost of cheddar cheese and no milk. My family loves it....I bet they would love it more if I put bacon in it!

I am a sucker for stuffing but the homemade kind my dad taught me how to make. It is completely unhealthy but so freaking good!

2 loafs of day old bread pulled apart by hand
2 stalks of celery chopped
1 small onion chopped
3 tbs Bell's seasoning
2 eggs
1 stick of butter melted
1 roll of bulk breakfast sausage (like jimmy dean)

Toss together the bread, celery, onion and seasoning in a large bowl. Add the eggs and butter until well mixed. Add in the sausage and bake at 350* for about 30 minutes or until the sausage is cooked thru.

Many moons ago my dad would cook the stuffing inside the turkey but it isn't safe to do that anymore :(
