Savory Side Dish Recipes

Even though the main course is the star of your table, savory Side Dish Recipes provide an excellent balance for a complete meal! Vegetable dishes like sauteed green beans, crispy brussels sprouts, or honey glazed carrots pair perfectly with chicken, beef and seafood and are not only easy, but inexpensive as well!

Another great way to round out a meal is with the use of potatoes. Try family favorites such as air fryer french fries, crock pot mashed potatoes and oven roasted potatoes. A holiday meal needs some great casseroles to serve with your turkey or ham. Don’t miss sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, squash casserole and loaded corn casserole.
