We've also rounded up crowd-pleasing Thanksgiving desserts that come together in your standard 9x13-inch baking dish. Simplify the chaos of holiday prep with these easy and delicious Thanksgiving recipes made in a 9x13 dish. 01 of 15 Grandma's Hash Brown Casserole ALLRECIPES / DIANA CHISTRUGA You just can't go wrong with a hash brown casserole, especially when the recipe comes from a Kentucky grandma. This 9x13 Thanksgiving recipe pairs with just about any other food and yields a bounty of servings, but that's okay because everyone at the table will want a second helping. If you don't have cornflakes on hand, you can also use crushed crackers or potato chips to make the topping.

Baking the sweet potatoes for 1 1/2 to 2 hours will bring out much more flavor than simply boiling them, and it also cuts back on peeling time when you combine them with other ingredients and mash them. View Recipe 03 of 15 Marian's Creamed Corn Chef Mo If your family and friends like sweet, creamed corn, then this is the 9x13 side dish you need to bring to Thanksgiving. The sweet taste and creamy texture make this corn a perfect companion for a savory main dish (like turkey or ham), and it comes together easily and quickly so you can focus your efforts on pies or other dishes. View Recipe 04 of 15 Aunt Millie's Broccoli Casserole KayBee63 "This recipe has been passed down in our family for years because it's so cheesy and delicious," says recipe creator KAYLEEW. This broccoli casserole stands out amongst the others because it uses fresh broccoli, which is more flavorful and has a better texture than the frozen kind. Even the broccoli haters will go back for an extra helping. View Recipe 05 of 15 Squash Casserole Allrecipes/Karen Hibbard This squash casserole has everything you want — tender crooknecks, gooey cheese, and a crunchy, buttery cracker topping. If you can't find yellow squash, another summer squash, such as zucchini, will work as well. For a less tender consistency, simply shorten the cook time. View Recipe 06 of 15 Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows ALLRECIPES / DIANA CHISTRUGA If you've never made a sweet potato casserole before, this simple and quick recipe is a great place to start. It doesn't require many ingredients and can easily be fine-tuned to suit your taste. For example, if you don't want an overt citrus taste, reduce or eliminate the orange juice, or make a streusel topping if you don't care for marshmallows on your potatoes. View Recipe 07 of 15 Apple Crisp DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS With more than 6,000 five-star ratings, it's not hard to tell that this is one good apple crisp recipe. Many reviewers (including the original submitter of the recipe) recommend using Granny Smith apples—as a rule, these are the best apples to bake with because they provide ample flavor without being too sweet or watery. View Recipe 08 of 15 French Onion Green Bean Casserole Dotdash Meredith Studios "Why are there only five stars? This recipe deserves 10! So much better than the canned soup version," says community member lucylove. "Everyone declared it a hit, and hubby said it was the star of the meal.

View Recipe 09 of 15 Grandma's Cornbread Dressing Meredith Food Studio Looking for a 9x13 dressing recipe that tastes just like a Southern grandmother's? Your search ends here. Be sure to use a cornbread mix that isn't sweetened — Jiffy, for example, contains added sugar, but Martha White and White Lily don't — so it won't clash with the savory ingredients. View Recipe 10 of 15 Garlic Potatoes Gratin naples34102 This twist on au gratin potatoes makes a decadent, show-stopping side that feels elegant without being overly complicated. The Gouda cheese will give the dish a lovely creamy texture, and if you use smoked Gouda, you'll end up with a strong flavor.
