Whether it's a family recipe that's been passed down by generations or it's another TikTok classic that's become an instant favorite for your family one thing is certain: you better start stocking up on all those frozen hashbrowns, fried onions, and tubs of sour cream now because they're about to start flying off the shelves at Meijer.

I've discovered a few tried and true recipes on the website AllRecipes.com so I trust them to be the source on all things Thanksgiving. According to their data from communities nationwide the top beloved turkey day side dishes include:

• Green bean casserole
• Sweet potato casserole
• Cornbread dressing
• Candied yams
• Corn pudding

I'm truly shocked that potatoes, in any form, aren't represented on that list! Aren't you?
