Sweet Potatoes

Rolls

For many, Thanksgiving dinner just isn't the same without rolls. It seems that while many Montanans enjoy homemade, overall, folks aren't picky and just want some sort of dinner roll to enjoy.

Pies

Holiday pies are a must-have and when you think of Thanksgiving, you think of both pumpkin and pecan pie. However, Montanans don't just limit themselves there. Several different varieties made the list when it comes to favorite Thanksgiving foods.

Stuffing/Dressing

It's called different things, but the bottom line that is one of the most popular Thanksgiving foods for Montanas is stuffing/dressing. Several folks talked about how their Thanksgiving stuffing comes from a family recipe, and others are just fine with the stuff out of the box.

Leftovers

For those Montanans that couldn't choose just one favorite, they went with all of them; AKA, leftovers. Thanksgiving leftovers are one of the best parts of the whole Thanksgiving experience. Who doesn't love a turkey sandwich with a side of stuffing, green bean casserole, and some sweet potatoes the next day?

Here's hoping that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving together and are able to spend quality time together, making lasting memories.
