@Shelby Ohhh yes! Thank you I haven't had green bean casserole in forever. I definitely was thinking I needed something green to incorporate with the meal. I'm taking the short cut this time with instant mashed potatoes and gravy. I appreciate the dinner roll suggestion because I totally forgot to add to the list. 💜
A box of stuffing is usually pretty affordable, rolls are always a hit.
Mashed potatoes & gravy , corn on the cob , can of green beans , boxed stuffing , dinner rolls and a little dessert you can buy a pie or cake/ice cream
@Jessica I ended up getting a pre cooked smoked turkey and boxed stuffing for the shortcut win ☺️
@Terriana I didn't even think of dessert. I already have French vanilla ice cream. Thank you for the suggestions ☺️
For the future, a woman went viral on TikTok for her dollar tree meals and she specifically created a series of thanksgiving meals using dollar tree products!! She makes plenty of other meals as well. She’s helped many single moms and low income family’s so I’d definitely look into her videos! Her username is dollartreedinners on TikTok ❣️
@Ashley Yes I saw that and kudos to her as well as other creators over the years for making content to show other alternatives. I was simply looking for ideas of quick meals to cook at the last minute since I didn't have much time to make everything from scratch. Also I despise going grocery shopping the night before because everything is picked over but everything turned out successfully🙌🏾
Green bean casserole is super easy and delicious- canned green beans, cream of mushroom and fried onion bits. Mashed potatoes & gravy- instant or yellow potatoes with milk & butter, salt & pepper & packaged gravy Dinner rolls!
