Most Popular Thanksgiving Side Dishes – What’s HOT?

Earlier this month, Campbell’s released its annual “State of the Sides” report, ahead of Thanksgiving.

Let’s serve ’em up:

• Americans’ love sides!  In fact, 67% prefer side dishes to the entrée.  And, over half would be content if their plate consisted of sides only.
• The most popular side dishes, which Americans choose this year, are mashed potatoes, stuffing/dressing, mac and cheese, yams/sweet potatoes and green bean casserole.
• Illinois is conflicted about the best ones.  It’s a tie, between salad and mashed potatoes, as favorite side dish.
• Alaskans would prefer spicier sides (49%); whereas Nevadans want more sweet flavors (55%).
• Eighty-four percent of Virginians prefer cooking the sides, rather than the turkey more than any other state.
