Grandma's Cornbread Dressing Stuffed Turkey {A whole baked turkey cooked in a pan of cornbread dressing}

Grandma's Cornbread Dressing Stuffed Turkey,   a whole baked turkey cooked in a pan of cornbread dressing.   The best turkey and dressing you will ever eat.  And don't forget the giblet gravy! This is my Mother in law, Betty's recipe.  When I came into the family, I was not use to eating turkey stuffed with cornbread dressing.  I grew up eating the turkey baked separately from the dressing.  It did not take me long to get used to eating the turkey and dressing stuffed.

Cranberry Pork Chops {Perfect for Thanksgiving}

Cranberry Pork Chops, thick succulent pork chops browned in a cast iron skillet on top of the stove, covered with whole cranberry sauce, a sprig of rosemary and finished off in the oven.  Perfect for a Thanksgiving alternative from traditional turkey. Pork chops are a favorite around our house.  We like them fried, grilled, smothered, in casseroles and just about any way you can cook them.  We do prefer the bone in pork chops for grilling and frying because they are juicier.  The boneless ones have their place though, like in casseroles and dishes that are served with sauces.

Grandmother's Old Fashioned Meatloaf {Cooked In A Cast Iron Skillet}

Old Fashioned Meatloaf Recipe   My Mother-in-law's recipe.  She taught me early on to cook my meatloaf in a cast iron skillet, which has never changed, and she also taught me not to forget to save the tripping for delicious tomato gravy. She would form her meatloaf in a bun and cook it with enough water about a third way up in the skillet. All those delicious juices make a wonderful gravy.   She believed that a good meatloaf recipe is one that has a good ratio of fat in the hamburger.

Stuffed Bell Peppers , succulent red, orange, and yellow bell peppers stuffed with a flavorful ground beef and fluffy rice, topping them with ketchup or a sweet, tangy sauce. My mother enjoyed making Stuffed Bell Pepper as much as she enjoyed seeing my husband eat them.

The yellow, red, and orange ones are a little sweeter, and my daughter, Jennifer prefer them over the green ones.
