Three Oven-less Thanksgiving Sides

Day 3.

Halfway through CGM Thanksgiving week.

Are you ready for more? I hope so. So far I’ve got your appetizer situation covered with Three Make Ahead Dips. Second, I’ve got your Vegetarian Brussels Sprout Bake with Parmesan & Pomegranates that’s perfect as a side or main! I feel like we should high-five!

I’ve mentioned before that I am hosting my immediate family for Thanksgiving this year. It might be one giant shit show, but I’m super excited to break in the kitchen. BUT! I want to keep things simple (again the theme for this week), which is why oven-less sides are to the rescue!

A couple of you mentioned that having a few dishes that require zero oven usage would be super helpful. Because that darn bird eats all the real estate which is kind of annoying. Am I right? So I’ve whipped up Three Oven-less Thanksgiving Sides that are so quick to make that they will do hot laps around your turkey beast.

Three Oven-less Thanksgiving Sides

Let’s give a round of applause to your new oven-less sides: Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole, Slow Cooker Classic Stuffing and Slow Cooker Rosemary Dinner Rolls. You can make one or all three. I wanted to keep these recipes very straight forward for simplicity, but also if wanted to jazz them up with your flavorings there’s room to do that as well.

Either way, you’re going to slay Thanksgiving with these sides! Stay tuned because tomorrow I’m sharing a homemade cranberry sauce that you can turn into a cocktail! You don’t want to miss this one!
