What's a Good One Dish Recipe for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is coming up later this month and chances are you have already started laboring over your menu. You're likely asking, "What am I going to make?" "Who's going be here for Thanksgiving dinner?" "How much should I make?" "I am making a turkey, but what kinds of sides should I make to go with it?"

Well, here's a creative solution for you! What if you could have all the flavors and highlights of Thanksgiving in just one dish? You can! Here's a delicious recipe for Thanksgiving Casserole from Patty Millay. Patty is a monthly guest on WBKR's 'What's Cookin'?' segment and, to celebrate the start of November, she whipped up an incredibly festive (and tasty) Thanksgiving dinner- in just one dish!

From Patty:

I love green bean casserole, and I love stuffing! This recipe brings you the best of both worlds with those savory green beans and the crunchy deliciousness of the stuffing topping! This mixes in a single dish and will serve a crowd. Done and on the table in under about 40 minutes! What more can you ask for?

THANKSGIVING CASSEROLE

4 12 ounce bags of frozen green beans
2 family size cans of cream of chicken soup
7 ounces sour cream
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1 large container of French fried onions
salt and pepper
onion powder
garlic powder

red pepper flakes
2 boxes of turkey flavor dry stuffing mix
1/2 carton chicken broth
1/2 stick of butter

DIRECTIONS:

Begin with 4 bags of frozen green beans in a greased jumbo size baking pan. Top beans with both cans of cream of chicken soup. Add 7 oz sour cream on top. Add one pound of shredded cheddar cheese. Add 1/2 a large can of French fried onions.

Season with parsley, black pepper, salt, onion powder, red pepper flakes and garlic powder. Patty used about 1/4 teaspoon of each but you can season to your taste.

Mix all ingredients well and smooth out in the pan. Top the green beans with 2 boxes of turkey flavor dry stuffing mix. Spread stuffing mix evenly then pour 1/2 carton of chicken broth. You want to wet the stuffing mix so that it bakes up crispy. Dot with 1/2 stick of butter and add the remaining French fried onions.

Bake at 350* for approximately 30-40 minutes until the center is well set.

Patty's Pro Tips- You can use any cream of soup that you like - cream of mushroom, cream of bacon, etc. You can also omit the red pepper flakes if that is too spicy for your taste. If you need a smaller family serving, just cut this recipe in half. Patty recommends serving this on the day you bake it. If you refrigerate it overnight, your toppings may soften and loose their crunch factor.
