Shoes!!!!
I need a Thanksgiving side for 30+ people. Do any of you have a tried and true recipe for that large a dish? I really do not want to make something that is supposed to be for 4 and get it up to the right amount. I also do not want to Google and try something out on people for Thanksgiving. :))
 
A big pot of chili! :laugh

Other than that, I got nuttin'.

With a crowd that size, I would go simple and use the tried and true recipes. Fresh green beans, brussel sprouts, corn, maybe a broccoli or squash casserole (I don't make these so I don't have a recipe), and mac & cheese.

Here's a delicious recipe for Brussel Sprouts sautéed with Pancetta. My sister made this at our Thanksgiving get together a few years ago. Even those that usually do not like Brussel Sprouts loved it!

BBG's dressing recipe serves a ton of people. We always cut it in half for our group of 15ish people. Other than than , I would agree with LisaC on the beans or mac and cheese.

I was thinking along the lines of a squash casserole!

I will tell you the same thing I tell everyone; No problem with me, happy to do it. All you have to do is get it approved by the boss. Good luck.
