<h2><strong>1.&nbsp;</strong><span id="docs-internal-guid-75277025-7fff-19a6-d761-6faa8c8601a8"><strong><a href="https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/buffalo-cheddar-beer-bread-stuffing/">Buffalo Cheddar Bacon Stuffing</a></strong><span> </span></span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>If there&rsquo;s one thing other than the turkey your Thanksgiving meal must include, that would be the stuffing. We&rsquo;re not talking about stovetop stuffing you make from a box--we&rsquo;re talking spicy, salty, cheesy, and savory with this recipe for buffalo cheddar bacon stuffing. Bacon bits, scallions, blue cheese, and cilantro take this dressing beyond the dinner table. The secret ingredient that gives it a real punch--a splash of beer. This side dish has all the right stuff(ing).&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><strong>2.&nbsp;</strong><span id="docs-internal-guid-e8dc5c9c-7fff-4137-c39e-1a1ccc2a3140"><strong><a href="https://www.makeitgrateful.com/celebrate/christmas/sweet-potato-and-caramelized-onion-mac-and-cheese/">Sweet Potato Mac &amp; Cheese</a></strong><span> </span></span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When you think of your favorite Thanksgiving side dish, potatoes and macaroni might come to mind. If you want something a little unconventional that infuses these two flavors together--skip the regular mac-n-cheese and whip up this recipe for sweet potato and caramelized onion mac-n-cheese. Sweet potatoes introduce a vibrant color and luscious flavor that tastes like autumn. It&rsquo;s a rich and hearty dish with a touch of sweetness from the caramelized onions that truly makes this side dish a fan-favorite at your dinner table.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Some of the best flavors and aromas of fall come from rosemary and maple--so why not mesh those flavors into your Thanksgiving cuisine? Every Turkey Day feast has some sort of bread product to sop up all the extra gravy and cranberry sauce, but don&rsquo;t settle for boring dinner rolls or biscuits. Instead, get creative with these sweet and earthy rosemary-maple cornbread muffins. They boast a slight touch of sweetness without overpowering the savory notes. The texture of the cornbread is perfect for dipping in all those extra juices and tastes great before the meal, during the meal, and for leftovers.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Now that you&rsquo;ve got a few side dishes ready to round out your plate, you need some accoutrements to complete the meal. No Thanksgiving meal is complete without cranberry sauce and the goop from a can just won&rsquo;t cut it these days. If you want to change the stigma of cranberry sauce, then you need to kick yours up a notch. Vanilla bourbon cranberry sauce is sure to knock the socks off all your holiday guests. You&rsquo;ll taste the sweetness of vanilla and the smoky flavor from the bourbon which creates a tasty fusion with the natural tanginess of the cranberry. When mixed together and scooped atop a big pile of turkey--you&rsquo;ll take back everything you said about cranberry sauce.&nbsp;</span></p>
