Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Casserole (Nanny’s Sweet Potato Souffle)
Old-fashioned sweet potato casserole or soufflé is the perfect Southern side dish. It’s rich and decadent. A must-have on Thanksgiving! It’s absolutely non-negotiable with my in-laws and is my husband’s favorite thing on the Thanksgiving table.

These easy brown sugar-glazed carrots are an easy, family-friendly side dish.
Creamy Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream
These homestyle mashed potatoes are the perfect complement to a Thanksgiving turkey.
Cranberry Sauce with Mandarin Oranges and Walnuts
I’m team Homemade Cranberry Sauce, all the way! This cranberry sauce is super easy, can be made ahead, and looks stunningly gorgeous on the table.
Slow Cooker Cheesy Corn with Cream Cheese and Cheddar
Slow cooker cheesy corn has become one of our family favorites. It’s buttery, cheesy, and addictive. Plus, it cooks in the crockpot to save room on the stove!
