How to Turn the Most Disliked Thanksgiving Sides into Dishes the Whole Family Will Love

A recent survey found that three traditional Thanksgiving staples are actually disliked by 70% of Americans. Here's how you can turn those sides into favorite mainstays. To replace green bean casserole, ditch the canned soup, and justsauté the beans with shallots. The resulting dish is lighter than the casserole and looks fresh and bright on the table. If you don't like sweet potato casserole, you can use the potatoes for something else. Layer the thinly sliced potatoes in a pie pan to make a versatile and slightly sweet pie crust. Lots of people love pumpkin spice flavor but just don't like the pie. So try making pumpkin pie ice cream instead. The cool dessert is refreshing, unlike the rich pie it will replace.
