Want to add some flair to the same old Thanksgiving dinner table? This year, channel your inner Southern belle and conjure up the romance of the Deep South with the likes of mint juleps, Carriage House biscuits, and whiskey bundt cake.
Greet guests as they arrive with a refreshing mint julep made with your Kentucky bourbon of choice.
With warm casseroles on the menu, you won't have much oven real estate, but that's OK: a spicy, garlicky cheese ball aims to please.
Make buttery, short biscuits just like the ones from The Carriage House in Natchez, MS.
Most Southerners would agree that vegetables need some butter, cheese, and/or bacon to make them palatable. This squash casserole combines the veggie with eggs, cheese, and a crunchy breadcrumb topping.
Save some bourbon from those mint juleps to make a bourbon-glazed, spice-rubbed turkey.
Can't bring yourself to serve cranberry gel out of a can? Try an easy, from-scratch orange-tinged cranberry sauce.
Thanksgiving isn't really Thanksgiving without plenty of top-notch pan gravy.
Reinvent collard greens, a Southern favorite, with a generous splash of cream and a breadcrumb topping.
Mash up white sweet potatoes and regular potatoes along with goat cheese for a sweet, tangy smashed potatoes side.
Not quite casserole, not quite custard, sweet potato pone has the consistency of bread pudding.
Vegetable shortening adds seemingly infinite layers of flakiness to a pie crust that's filled with toothsome apples.
With its butterscotch flavor, whiskey bundt cake won't last long at the table.
Bourbon, pecans, and lemon zest join forces in what's likely to be the best Southern pie at the table.
