BEST GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE: Easy Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipe

Thanksgiving Recipe: Classic Green Bean Casserole for holiday menus. Made with French's French Fried Onions and Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, this is the casserole your Mom used to make for a Thanksgiving side dish alongside the Sweet Potato Casserole and Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce. With holiday side dishes like these, you can forget the roast turkey and sausage stuffing!

Green Bean Casserole Recipe

• 2 cans (14 ounce) French cut green beans, drained (frozen cut grean beans can also be used)
• 1 can (10.75 ounce) condensed Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 can (6-ounce) French's French Fried Onions
• 1/3 cup shredded cheese blend (mild cheddar, Monteray Jack and low moisture mozzarella cheese are good choices)

How To Make Green Bean Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large 9 X 13 inch rectangular, or similar size round or oval baking dish with vegetable spray (Pyrex or Pampered Chef stoneware is good).
2. In a large bowl with a rubber spatula, mix green beans, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk and Worcestershire sauce together. Fold in 3/4 cup of French's French Fried Onions, and pour into the prepared pan.
3. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, remove from oven, and sprinkle the remaining French's Onions and cheese evenly on top. Return to oven and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Green Bean Casserole will be piping hot right from the oven! Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
4. Serves 10-12. This Green Bean Casserole recipe can be divided in half and baked in an 8 X 8 inch pan to serve 6. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Make this easy holiday casserole even tastier by adding cooked bacon, mushrooms and red peppers. Simply cook 4-6 ounces of bacon in a small frying pan, remove and set aside, reserving 2 Tablespoons bacon fat. Slice 4-6 white button mushrooms and dice 1/2 red pepper, and saute in the reserved bacon fat until tender. Mix in and continue with the recipe as directed.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE RECIPE with Molasses Cookie Crust: A Thanksgiving Favorite

The holidays are right around the corner, and this decadently rich Pumpkin Cheesecake will make a perfect addition to any Thanksgiving or Christmas buffet table. Not surprising, Pumpkin Cheesecake is one of the most requested Thanksgiving desserts.

This Pumpkin Cheesecake is m and is very similar to Junior's Pumpkin Mousse Cheesecake recipe. It has a sour cream topping that makes the cheesecake irresistible, but you can leave it off if you wish. You've probably been the victim of cracked cheesecakes or overbaked and dry cheesecakes once or twice in your baking life. Make sure to read "How to Make the Perfect Cheesecake" before turning your oven on!

Ingredients: Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe with a Molasses Cookie Crust

• 1/4 recipe of Soft Molasses Cookie dough
  
• 1 pound 8 ounces (three 8 ounces packages) cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
• 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk

Sour Cream Topping

• 1 pound (2 cups) sour cream
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

 

If you make the entire batch of Molasses Cookie Dough, you can scoop and bake the rest into the scrumptious Molasses Cookies you see below!

Directions: How to Make a Perfect Pumpkin Cheesecake

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Take a 9 inch springform pan apart, line the bottom plate with aluminum foil, then reassemble the pan. Pull the excess foil up and around the pan to prevent any batter from leaking into the oven. Spray sides and bottom with vegetable spray.
3. Make 1/4 batch of Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe. Or better yet, make the whole batch and bake cookies with the rest of the dough!
4. Pat the molasses cookie dough on the bottom only of the springform pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes for a soft cookie crust. Bake a few minutes longer for a crispier gingersnap crust. Remove from oven, set aside, and let cool while making the cheesecake batter.
5. Leave oven on 350 degrees. Place a pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven and close the door.
6. In a mixing bowl on medium speed, beat cream cheese until smooth ~ about 3 minutes. Scrape down sides half way through.
7. Add sugars and cornstarch and beat again, scraping a few times. The mixture should be smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat until creamy.
8. Fold the pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg into the mixture and beat again.
9. Slowly add the evaporated milk and beat only enough so there are no lumps and the filling is nice and fluffy. Scrape as needed.
10. Pour batter into prepared pan on top of previously baked molasses cookie crust, and bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
11. About 15 minutes before the pumpkin cheesecake is done, mix all sour cream topping ingredients (see below) until smooth and sugar is dissolved.
12. When cheesecake comes out of the oven, carefully pour sour cream batter on top of cheesecake. Immediately return cheesecake to oven, and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until set.
13. See the link above for further baking, cooling, serving and freezing instructions.
14. Makes one 9 inch cheesecake. Serves 14. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe

Half cake, half cookie, these soft, moist and spicy Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are filled with cream cheese icing or vanilla Whoopie Pie filling. Thanksgiving and Christmas wouldn't be the same without easy holiday recipes like Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. Pumpkin Whoopie Pies aren't really pies at all. Cake-like in texture, but baked like soft round cookies, the individual pumpkin cakes are filled with fluffy cream cheese Whoopie Pie filling, or Vanilla Filling, and sandwiched back together.

Special thanks to Erika of Stampin' Mama for sharing this classic holiday recipe for Pumpkin Whoppie Pies!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Recipe

• 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
• 1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, see below
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, see below

How to Make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

1. Pumpkin pie spice can be made by mixing together 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ginger and 1/2 teaspoon allspice.
2. You can substitute up to 2/3 cup of sifted whole wheat flour. The Whoopie Pies will take on a slightly different, heavier and chewier texture.
3. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with vegetable shortening spray. The Whoopie cookies will spread as they bake, so leave enough room between them.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, hand mixer or whisk, whip canola or vegetable oil and brown sugar together in a large bowl until smooth.
6. Whisk in eggs until light. Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whip until light and fluffy.
7. Gently fold in the flour with a rubber spatula. Mix only until well blended.
8. Using a medium-large size ice cream scoop, drop 12 heaping, but equal mounds of Whoopie Pie batter, spaced evenly, onto each prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until Whoopie cakes spring back when lightly touched.
9. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely before filling.
10. Meanwhile, begin making Whoopie Pie filling.

Cream Cheese Whoopie Pie Filling Recipe

• 4 ounces (1/2 stick) butter, softened
• 4 ounces (1/2 small block) cream cheese
• 2 Tablespoons Marshmallow Fluff, optional
• 1 cup powdered confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How to Make Cream Cheese Filling

1. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and cream cheese on medium speed. Add marshmallow fluff and beat until fluffy. Scrape down bowl.
2. Turn mixer to low, and add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy and free of lumps.
3. Spread the flat side of the cookies with Whoopie Pie filling. Top with another pumpkin cookie, pressing down very lightly to seal.
4. Store Pumpkin Whoopie Pies in a large flat container, preferably in a single layer. If stacked, parchment paper can be used to separate the layers, However, the Whoopie Pies have a tendency to stick to the paper. If this happens, just dust the tops with confectioners' sugar before serving.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
6. Make 12 good size Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!

Vanilla Whoopie Pie Filling Recipe

• 1/4 cup solid shortening like Crisco
• 1/4 cup (1/2stick) butter, softened
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup

How to Make Vanilla Whoopie Pie Filling

1. In a large bowl, and using an electric mixer on medium speed with a paddle attachment, beat shortening and butter until light and creamy.
2. Turn mixer to low, and beat in the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Turn the mixer to high, and beat until light and fluffy, add vanilla, scraping down bowl as needed.
3. With mixer on low, add corn syrup in a steady stream, a little at a time. Turn mixer to high and beat for another minute until frosting is light, fluffy and free of lumps.
