Thanksgiving Favorite Foods

Families across America are prepping for Thanksgiving by searching for food favorites like sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and turkey tips.

One crucial Thanksgiving detail: how long to cook the turkey. A bigger bird needs longer to cook so don't make it a last-minute affair. While an unstuffed turkey up to 18 pounds takes 3 to 3-1/2 hours, a stuffed 25 pound bird may need more than six!

Side dishes are also important and each family has its favorites. I love sweet potatoes no matter how they are dished up and sweet potato casserole is a classic.

Green bean casserole is another popular dish and the Campbell's recipe calls for just six ingredients. Any shortcut while preparing Thanksgiving dinner always appreciated.
