One of the biggest challenges to getting Thanksgiving dinner on the table is finding room in the oven for all those side dishes! Kelsey Nixon has the solution – cook all your sides on the stove top or in the crockpot! Read on for three recipes for traditional Thanksgiving sides that don’t use the oven.
No. 1: Kelsey Nixon’s Skillet Candied Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Pecans
This recipe couldn’t be easier – it’s really a “set it and forget it” method. Kelsey melts a stick of butter in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot, then adds sweet potato rounds sliced to about 1/3 inch thick. She mixes in a combination of brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, then covers with a tight-fitting lid and cooks for an hour. When they’re done cooking, add a dash of vanilla and stir. Top with toasted pecans before serving. That’s it!
Tip: If your sweet potatoes break down too much for your liking, these are also excellent served mashed.
No. 2: Kelsey Nixon’s Slow Cooker Thanksgiving Herbed Stuffing
The Best Slow Cooker Stuffing You'll Make on Thanksgiving
This game-changing idea is truly brilliant and we can’t believe we haven’t always done it this way – Kelsey cooks her stuffing in the crockpot! She mixes up her stuffing like she normally does, and then just puts it in the slow cooker and cooks on low for 3-4 hours. Wow!
No. 3: Kelsey Nixon’s Stovetop Green Bean Casserole
Learn How to Make Green Bean Casserole Without an Oven
This is a pretty traditional green bean casserole that Kelsey simply modified so that you can make it on the stove in a cast iron pan. She makes a mushroom cream sauce from scratch, and even tops it with fried onions! Who needs the stove?
