BETH ITALIAN SAUSAGE POTATO BAKE RECIPE
Serves 8
Ingredients:
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
4 links sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 tsp (5 ml) Italian Seasoning
3 1/2 pounds (1 1/2 Kilos) of russet potatoes
4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (240 ml) of half & half or milk
2 tsp (10 ml) salt
1 ½ cup (360 ml) of Mozzarella cheese
freshly cracked pepper and paprika to taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) Fresh Italian parsley, roughly chopped
METHOD:
Drizzle a large sauté pan with olive oil.
Remove sausage from casings, place in pan and add 1 tsp Italian Seasoning.
Cook sausage, breaking into chunks with a wooden spoon, until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on plate lined with paper towels. Allow to cool.
Meanwhile, wash and peel potatoes. Cut potatoes in half and then quarters. Place in a pot of cold water to boil until fork tender. Drain from water and transfer into a bowl of a standing mixer (or a bowl and hand mixer works too) add butter and beat well until melted, then add milk and combine well, then season with salt.
Transfer mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl, stir in sausage and ½ cup of cheese. Transfer to a casserole dish, and top with remaining 1 cup of cheese. Top with salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
Bake at 375F (190C) until potatoes are warmed through (about 20 minutes) Then keeping casserole dish on middle rack of oven, turn on the broiler for 1-2 mins until cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Remove and garnish with freshly chopped parsley
NOTE: If making these a day ahead, cover and refrigerate. Then heat covered in a 425F (200C) degree oven, covered for 20 mins until potatoes are warmed through, since they are cold they will need a hotter oven and the foil will help concentrate the heat, then remove foil and allow cheese to brown and bubble (about 10 mins more)
MOM’S CANDIED YAM CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOWS
Serves 8
Ingredients:
4 cans candied yams
3 tbsp butter
1⁄2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp of nutmeg
1⁄2 tsp salt
2 1⁄2 cups of marshmallows
3⁄4 cup of raw pecans, chopped
Method:
Drain yams, leaving all but about 2 tbsp in each can. Place in a large sauce pan, on a low flame.
Add butter, and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add cream, nutmeg and salt.
Transfer to a casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate until the party.
The day of the party. Place in a 350 degree oven for 15 mins. Remove cover, top with marshmallows and pecans and continue baking for 5-10 minutes until marshmallows are golden brown and melted.

I also like to have seperate areas for drinks and desserts because it creates less of a bottle neck and I also find that it almost forces people to maybe talk to another person or peoples instead of just hanging out in one area with the same people.
I was also thinking about wrapping a husk around to the the strings to hide it!! Great minds think alike!
I did subscribe to your subscription box have to go find my Pyrex in a basket 😊
Great planning ideas! When I get out my serving dishes, I mark them with post-its so I remember what goes in each. (My memory isn't as good as yours!)
Beth, your videos are such a gem on this platform. I always learn such helpful tips (and you never fail to make me cry with some of the stories like the one about the gravy boat, so sweet ❤). Your content is so authentic and I love how you strive to only put out quality videos like this one. I’m obsessed with your channel and I always look forward to new videos. Thanks Beth!
I love your videos Beth, I could listen to your ideas all day long!
Love, love, all the tips❤thank you, we have a big family and I do the same ….food inside and set the back yard , THANK YOU again
What a great and helpful video especially for people who haven't hosted a lot or are looking for a way to plan ahead and have a more relaxing, fun day. I've been hosting for 40 years and do all these exact same things ahead of time (in addition to polishing silver) and just thinking about (and writing down) every thing! I have to remember each year to buy candles, buy paper guest towels for the bathroom, count my wine glasses… the list goes on~ but if you start early its fun and not stressful! Thanks for the helpful video, Happy Thanksgiving!
I laughed about the corn husks at the very end when you said there was no room for anything else. They do add nice color and fall theme but when you get all the food on the table you’ll have plenty of color. I like them with the wood bowls too. What time should I arrive for dinner? 😂🤗
Love and look forward to all your posts❤….today most especially the gravy boat story
Beth: we can’t fit one more thing on this table.
Also Beth: *fits one more thing on the table.
I usually tie my Indian corn with raffia…blends well with the husks. Love your thoughtful planning process!
I love it Beth, your Plan and have a backup plan in case of rain, look to the weather 2 days before app,
also plan that you will set up 2 tables, in the living room? The area that looks out to the patio with the french doors, and with the patio cover then some things could be under that area if it isn't too rainy outside. what a nice view for your guests…the tables could be side by side, one on the left and on one the right and it should work with your space. keep all the food on your dining table and move extra furniture to the garage for the party. can't wait to see part 2, and the main event. How many times did you say corn in the is this video? lol😆,
you're doing all things I do to party prep. you're not alone. 😍
Thank you for the video! I am looking forward to part2
What sized baking dishes fir the two recipes you shared?
These style of videos are my favorite. I love the behind the scenes. They are helpful and inspiring! Thank you for taking us along! ♥️♥️♥️
I put each of my recipes in plastic page covers and then into a three ring binder. Protects the recipes (I’m a messy cook!) and you can remove them from your binder as needed.
Loves these videos! Thank you so much for posting. Happy Thanksgiving!
Where can I buy your cookbook?
The legal pad is so smart. I am working on planning my son’s baptism in December and I think I am going to use your method on that. I haven’t ever planned anything formal like the dinner afterwards.
Awesome tips. As for the buffet, would it make more sense to just have one each of the sausage potatoes and yam dishes out, and keep the second set on "warm" in the oven? Saves on room and serving utensils. Food for thought!
Great video!
Awesome info Beth! Thank you! I’m making just a big breakfast this year! We watch the Macy’s day parade and rest! 🍁🍁🍁
You could also tie a ribbon or twine around the husks to cover the rubber band
Was very interesting! I love it! Would be also nice to see about your family traditions and kids raising tips, presents to get and cooking with kids)))
Lots of great tips, thank you , I’m getting excited for Thanksgiving❣️🌹🦃
MY INDIAN CORN STORY. I went to an outdoor market in Florida to buy pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, cider, veggies etc. I used the Indian corn for a center piece arrangement and also to put in a wreath. I laid it all out of the tables. Next morning, we woke up to find cockroaches everywhere!!!! Apparently they were hiding in the stalks. I was so freaked out by this as we never had any bugs. We had to have our home professionally sprayed with bug bombs in each room. We could not come home for 12 hours. Then, we had to air the house out which meant no AC in hot, humid Fl. TIP: Buy fake Indian corn.
I'm truly impressed with the amount of details you're considering! Also it was lovely to hear the gravy pot thingy's story. I hope one day I'll have my own house like you guys… Anyways, i wish you and your loved ones happy thanksgiving, may God bless you, love you ❤️
I would love to see a Thanksgiving leftover video. That would be amazing.
wrap raffia ribbon around the Indian corn bundles to hide the rubber bands. Could you use that smaller table I see off to the side for the cold dishes and bread, then leave the large table for the hot dishes?
Boy I’m thinking how lucky to be coming to your Thanksgiving feast. I would love some of your recipes Beth. I can’t wait for the next video. Thanks so much for making the effort to share your excellent entertaining skills with us. 😍😍
I am LOVING your planning videos. For someone who really enjoys the process, it's so fun to follow a real pro! I absolutely love your serving pieces and table decor, and I'm so envious that you get to host Thanksgiving outside. Being in the Midwest, that has never been an option. I hope you get a beautiful fall day! Quick question – do you recall where you got your green t-shirt with the cute petal sleeves? It's so cute!
Love the gravy boat story <3
I use clear nail polish on winter squashes that are damaged. Works great!
Dear beth i think you are a very smart lady thank you for all your videos i love them i m italian too
Use twined to cover up the rubber bands, looks good
Love your entertaining ideas!!
Me and my friend did exactly the same. Placed our dishes and did a dry run already for this year Thanks giving we are all hosting at her house, good ideas Beth. Always love your videos and your ideas.
I love your prep videos so muchh! Hopefully we'll be able to see the day of the thanks giving party too <3
I love the pyrex baskets! Where can i order similar?
Oh, Beth! You're so sweet and funny! I loved your Neosporin idea for the pumpkin!
As a Brit living in Canada, I’m with your husband Beth when it comes to the sweet/savoury combo. Not my thing at all! The sweetest combo I knew growing up was lamb with mint sauce!
