Thanksgiving dinner…..one has to go

[IdaCat]

I guess Mac & cheese, only because there’s enough starch represented. Need more vegetables in the mix.

“Hate” is way too benign. I loathe every fiber of his being with an unrelenting, white-hot passion.

Commie. This is big insult these daze I reckon.

Surprised cranberries didn't make the list. Hate cranberries especially the canned variety.

Ham.

Let me tell you how to do green beans for Thanksgiving.

1. Cut up 5 slices of bacon and cook it in a large cast iron skillet
2. Remove the bacon; keep the grease
3. Open a large can of regular green beans and dump it (liquid and all) into the skillet
4. Add a table spoon of brown sugar and salt to taste
5. Cook that down until the water is half steamed out
6. Add the bacon back in
7. Cook until the liquid is gone
8. Serve

You can't go wrong with this.

Green bean casserole

 

[HagginHall1999]

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that after preparing for 6 hours the night before using Aunt Glenda’s family recipe and then cooking for 12 hours using specially made sage rosemary butter under the skin and then spending 4 hours using a specially made fryer with a patented coconut oil base you still have to cover the disgusting dry *** turkey with 4 pounds of gravy and mashed potatoes to eat it. Don’t need any of that with the 12 minutes to make GBC that everyone can just enjoy on its own.

Ham already gets two holidays Ron. My momma still does the Aunt Glenda, but she does it well. The gravy is a critical component, fortunately hers is on point and doesn't come from a jar.

Last year we hosted Thanksgiving and didn't have extended family. I bought a 10 lb turkey and made it in an Infrared fryer that required hardly no prep. Thing was delicious and far more juicy than any turkey I've ever had.

We've never run into the Cousin Catherine moment yet, but wouldn't surprise me if we do once the torch is formally passed from the blue hairs to new generation....we have a slew of turkey virgins in our family.

Thanks for the tip.

I have a baked chicken breast tip that is a can't miss I'll share...

1. Boneless/Skinless Breast- organic is better
2. Brine in heavy salt water, at least 15 minutes, preferably 30....if you don't have this time, you can skip...it makes a difference but not the end of world if don't do it. It is mostly about the heat and time.
3. Pre Heat at 475°
4. Pat dry regardless.
5. Season to your preference. Sea salt, pepper and favorite seasoning.
6. Line foil in pan
7. Put chicken in oven
8. Set timer for 18-22 minutes depending on size of breast.

You will be rewarded with the juciest/best chicken breast.

Most folks think or tell you to bake chicken between 350°-400°....they are doing it wrong.

We just brined the turkey and then roasted in the oven. No special recipes or anything. Came out nice and juicy

Eliminate green bean casserole and add Corn Pudding.

Green bean casserole. What the ****. How is it even a question?

Anything that requires a topping of canned fried onions to be edible is turrible.

You would be corrrect. However, the question wasn’t about eliminating green beans. It was about eliminating that disgusting *** side dish green bean casserole. Two entirely different things.

I made green bean casserole this year for my first time........everything fresh except the onion straws and cream of mushroom.........it can go!

Mac N Chz is right behind and would be first if it wasn’t for keeping the kids quiet and happy.

I like to brine if i’m grilling bone-in chicken, really helps it cook evenly to the bone. i’ve done the high temp method as you described, works great. also works well for pork chops.

I haven‘t tried the baking soda tenderizing yet but have been reading a lot of good things about it. i think i’ll try it with chicken gizzards. https://www.tastingtable.com/cook/national/baking-soda-meat-tenderizer-cooks-illustrated

I’ll pick mashed potatoes since nobody else will.

I’ll never touch a mashed potato when there’s sweet potato casserole and hash brown casserole on the table.

Eliminate green bean casserole and add Corn Pudding.

So it can be eliminated as well.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Gravy is a worthless condiment.

Keep us posted!

 

[HagginHall1999]

So it can be eliminated as well.

No shot. Not mine. Never any left at our holiday. Make 4 batches for almost 30 people.

Stuffing. I would throw it out and replace it with cornbread dressing. Stuffing is something you find in the couch in the front room.
