VINTAGE THANKSGIVING RECIPES | STARTER – DRINK – DESSERT | BETTY CROCKER COOKBOOK

Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in tradition. Your family’s menu has probably been set for years filled with classics that have stood the test of time. If you’re looking to mix things up this year or add a few side dishes desserts or appetizers your best bet is to look to the past for dishes that fit a traditional Thanksgiving menu. These vintage Thanksgiving recipes are perfect for the traditional table while adding a touch of nostalgia.

Cheese balls have been a popular appetizer for decades. Hosts always know how to spice up this classic snack by incorporating themes into vintage Thanksgiving appetizers. This simple Turkey Day twist on the standard cheese balls is the talk of the town. Crackers and pecans are used to form the chicken feathers. Red peppers (and a little creative knife work) complete the look.

Green bean casserole was invented in 1955 and this little twist on the classic recipe makes a good thing even better. This recipe is written for canned green beans but you can use fresh ones. Frozen green beans however will make for a soggy and disappointing dish.
