Easy COVID Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipe Ideas

With the unique circumstances with COVID-19, making Thanksgiving meals easier to prepare is essential. This holiday's goal is to make easy Thanksgiving side dish recipe ideas that minimize preparation time on the day of the event and reduces contact with food by the host. Prepping food the day before and getting the items together to throw into a pot to cook will minimize the host's time from lingering over the food while cooking. Today, we are sharing 5 recipe types that will do just that.

Note: The recipe TITLES with CAPITALS are from our blog.
