Almost all of the traditional Thanksgiving side dishes...

don't need to be made from scratch. Green bean casserole is famously made with Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup, French's® French Fried Onions, cooked green beans and a few other ingredients.

All you have to do is combine everything in a baking dish, and pop it in the oven. The same can be said for Kraft's® Stove Top Stuffing Mix, the beloved pre-made stuffing mix that comes in a box and cooks up in just 5 minutes either on the stovetop or in the microwave. The only additional ingredients are water and butter/margarine.

And let's not forget McCormick® Brown Gravy Mix, a powdered concoction that you simply add water to and heat. Add to that a wide variety of instant mashed potato options and canned cranberry sauce, and you've pretty much got everything you need. Oh, and you can easily buy pre-cooked turkeys, too.
