I need an idea about what to bring to Thanksgiving dinner. I am going to my DIL's family (her aunt's) for the first time. Something special, but easy. I am not much of a cook.

Sweet & Spicy Meatballs

1 can/jar salsa
1 jar jelly
meatballs (or lil smokies)

Mix the sauces together. Place meatballs in crockpot, cover with sauce. If the sauce doesn't cover the meatballs, add just enough water to barely cover the meat. Cover and heat on low for up to ten hours, high up to four.

Or you could really take the easy way and bring a green salad!

This was served tonight, some type of "fluffy salad".

1 regular 8 oz. cool whip
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained
1 can cherry pie filling
1 can eagle brand sweetened, condensed milk

Mix together, chill, and serve. Very tasty!

I am a throw together cook, so these amounts are all approximate. Taste is the best gauge of measurement, so taste as you go. Don't expect any leftovers with this one.
Slow Cooker Baked Beans
4 cans Pork and Beans, any brand
about 6 slices of bacon, chopped
1 small onion chopped,
1 green pepper chopped,
half a cup of brown sugar.
half a cup of ketchup
1 Tablespoon of yellow mustard
Pour the beans into a colander and rinse the sauce off and let drain while you prepare the other ingredients.
Fry chopped bacon until crispy; add onions and peppers and saute a couple minutes. Add brown sugar, ketchup and mustard to pan, stir well. Pour the drained beans into the slow cooker. Add ingredients from the skillet to the beans, and cook on low heat
with the lid off stirring occasionally until they thicken. This takes very little of your time, as you just have to check on them occasionally, and everyone will think they are baked from scratch. They can be made the day before and returned to the slow cooker to heat for the meal.
P.S. Deviled eggs are always good, too.

Here's a recipe from Paula Deen at Foodnetwork. I've made it about 4 times and it's very easy and tastes really good!

Corn Casserole Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8-ounce) package corn muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Pour into a greased 9 by 13-inch casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and top with Cheddar. Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Let stand for at least 5 minutes and then serve warm.

Here is an easy salad recipe: Mix together: 1 small carton cottage cheese and 1 sm. pkg. orange jello. Drain 1 small can crushed pineapple and 1 sm. can mandarin oranges. Fold into cottage cheese and jello mixture. Add 1 small carton Cool Whip - fold in gently. Refrigerate. You can use low fat items and sugar free jello to make it healthier. Takes five minutes to make!

Try simple orange glazed carrots. Everyone likes these and can eat them.

Slice carrots on the diagonal into thick coins, or use a bag or two of those baby carrots. Cover the carrots with water and a few pinches of salt in a pan and boil until a fork goes into them, 10 minutes more or less. Drain the carrots.

Melt a few tablespoonfuls of butter in the pan, and add a few spoonfuls of regular orange juice concentrate. Add a few pinches of a couple of the following POWDERED spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, mace, cloves, ginger, star anise. Whisk or stir the sauce ingredients together briefly over the heat then toss with the cooked carrots to coat.

You might want to add more concentrate if the orange flavor is not strong enough for your taste. You can also leave out the butter for people on diets.
