How to Make Thanksgiving Dinner in 4 Hours (Last Minute Guide)
It’s no secret that people want to save money without sacrificing flavor during the holidays. These Thanksgiving dishes will help you check both boxes without the stress. With a few smart changes and simplified side dishes you can create the easiest (and cheapest!) menu yet this Thanksgiving—and no one will even know it. Whether you’re still planning your Turkey Day menu or you’re just looking for a few recipes to cheaply supplement your traditions these are the best cheap and easy dishes to add to your holiday table.
There are so many reasons to love these mashed potatoes. Firstly they’re suitable for all your guests whether they’re vegan lactose intolerant or have a dairy allergy. They’re also secretly a brilliant budget-friendly alternative to traditional dairy-heavy mashed potatoes. Using a combination of olive oil and starchy cooking water they create a silky creamy mash without the need for butter (which has never been so expensive!)
One of the best money-saving tips is to make your own versions of store-bought favorites from scratch. Instead of buying bread or a tube of dough you can make these Quick Yeast Rolls with ingredients you probably already have on hand. If you’ve never made bread before this is a great starter recipe and won’t take all day to make. Be warned: The dough will be quite sticky but resist the urge to add more flour—this changes the texture from light and fluffy to chewy. Grease two spoons with cooking spray or lightly dust them with flour and use them to portion out the dough and spoon it into your pan.
