Another easy recipe for Thanksgiving

I give credit to Campbell's for this recipe (from their website), but I did change a few things to make it my own. :)

Green Bean Casserole

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
Dash ground black pepper
4 cups cooked cut green beans (about 3 cans, drained)
1 1/3 cups French fried onions (or more if desired)

Mix soup, milk, worcestershire sauce, black pepper, beans, and 2/3 cup onions in a casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Stir. Sprinkle with remaining onions. Bake for 5 additional minutes.

TIP: Use 1 large bag frozen green beans, 3 cans green beans or about 1 1/2 lb. fresh green beans for this recipe.

The first recipe in the Easy Thanksgiving Series

Cornbread Dressing

1 large skillet of cornbread
3 or 4 biscuits
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
Sage - Lots!!
Chicken broth (or turkey broth from the turkey)

Crumble the cornbread into fine crumbs. Pinch apart the biscuits (or put in a food processor) into small pieces. Add celery and onions and toss together. Sprinkle sage all over, a little at a time. Pour turkey/chicken broth over mixture a little at a time and mix well, folding all the ingredients together. Keep adding sage to your taste and enough broth to make a moist (but not to liquidy) mixture. You can eat it just like this or you can bake it for about 25 minutes on 350 degrees.

Makes about 10-12 servings or one 9x13 casserole dish.
