Some awesome Thanksgiving recipes!

Hubby really outdid himself this year.

It was just the 2 of us, so we kept it small and had just the basics (minus tamales cuz we couldn't get down to Evie's this year) Turkey, Mashed taters, gravy, stuffing, green Bean Casserole and pumpkin pie. 

He totally kicked up the Green Bean casserole and taters tho!



Hubby's Groovy Green Bean Casserole

(all measurements are approx.)

1 large can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3 small cans cooked green beans
2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
8 oz. bacon
diced 1/2 onion
6 oz. bread crumbs


mix together the green beans and soup. Add 1 packet of alfredo sauce seasonings mix and parmesan cheese (we added about cup ... add as much or as little as you like)

Pour into baking dish and bake in 350 degree over for 25 minutes

Cut bacon into bite size pieces and saute. Add diced onions and cook until carmelized. Remove from heat and spread over top of green bean mixture. (you want the bacon to be crispy)

Mix together remaining parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and then sprinkle over top the bacon and onions.

bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is melty and crispy.

Enjoy!


Hubby's Marvelous Mashed Potatoes

5lbs potatoes
1/2 lb unsalted butter (NOT margarine)
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1 small packet of ranch dressing mix
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of milk

peel and cut up potatoes and boil until fork tender and mash (w/ potato masher)

Mix in butter, sour cream, milk, and ranch dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy.

(and yes I have tons of leftovers!!!)
