Thanksgiving Casserole

Fall is my favorite time of year. The colors, the weather, pumpkins and everything fall related. Its getting close to Thanksgiving, so to really set the mood, I made a Thanksgiving Casserole. It takes all the favorite things from thanksgiving and puts them into one dish.

Now this dish is a meal in itself. And it is not a "quick" meal by any means. It took me about 45 minutes prep time and then another 35 minutes to bake. But it was worth every minute! This was a huge hit in my house and will defiantly be made again. I did use Monterey Jack Cheese instead of cheddar. I also think next time I am going to put some dried cranberries in the stuffing mix to give some added fall flavor! This dish goes nicely with pumpkin pie for dessert!
