Quick Thanksgiving Menu Question
We're hosting some of the squadron boys. Here's my menu as it stands now:
|
Queso |
|
Jalapeno Poppers |
|
Veggie Tray |
|
Deviled Eggs |
|
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips |
|
Turkey |
|
Ham |
|
Rolls |
|
Corn Casserole |
|
Green bean Casserole |
|
Sweet Potato Casserole |
|
Mashed Potatoes |
|
Cranberry Sauce |
|
Stuffing |
|
Caramel Apple Pecan Pie |
|
Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake |
My question is: is that too many casserole dishes? Should I do sweet potatoes in a crockpot (like baked potatoes) instead and let them make them themselves?

Re: Quick Thanksgiving Menu Question
Nope, single. And a VERY small kitchen. Here's my schedule:
Tuesday: clean like crazy, any last minute groceries (usually not),
Wednesday: desserts (minus putting pie filling in pie and baking, that'll be Thursday), brine turkey, veggie tray, prep corn casserole, prep green bean casserole (minus onion things), prep sweet potato casserole (minus toppings), cinnamon chips, rolls
Thursday: queso (crockpot), jalapeno poppers, deviled eggs, fruit salsa, turkey (smoked), ham, bake all casseroles, bake pie, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes
Friday: sleep
Your menu is similar to mine but I cut the sweet potatoes. However, I find all other casseroles a necessity. Unless the sweet potatoes are in fry form, I'm not interested.
Also, I've seen a jalapeno popper dip floating around pinterest that sounds delish and could be done in the crockpot if you have an extra one. It would save some oven space.
I love sweet potatoes on thanksgiving, but I've never considered it a casserole. I definitely wouldn't cut it though.
Oh and your menu sounds delish!
My parents' old house had one, Mom says she has dreams about it! Sookie, I think it's fine. It's a lot of casserole's, but trying to accommodate everyone's t-day "musts" just requires it. You'll make their day for sure that someone took the time to fulfill their tradition.
I totally agree with this.
If you want to you can peel and dice up your potatoes for the mashed potatoes you can put them in a bowl with a lid and cover them with water until your ready to boil them the next day. You can boil your eggs for the deviled eggs the day before too and just take them out so they get to closer to room temp before you peel them.
Good luck with everything! I'm sure you'll make a lot of hungry men very happy!
