Easy Thanksgiving Menu
Report
Don't miss a leisurely browse through the full Thanksgiving Recipe Index! This is a very easy Thanksgiving Menu that I've put together (described at the top of the post). The recipes are straightforward and take into consideration oven and stove space, and how easy things are to reheat. The prep work is minimal and they all taste amazing! Proof that you don't need to spend hours and hours in the kitchen to serve a wonderful made-from-scratch Thanksgiving Dinner! Full directions provided in the recipe for each dish which is linked below.

Instructions
Optional make ahead items (day before, morning of):

- Creamy Corn Casserole, Skillet Corn Bread and Corn Bread Muffins all reheat extremely well in the microwave.
- Easy Cheesy Potato Bake reheats well but if you have the oven time, this is one that is really great made fresh.
