This is my grandmother’s best friend, sweet Ms. Beverly B’s recipe and my family has been enjoying it for over 50 years. It’s so good, and it’s no wonder it’s stuck around this long. It has always been a staple in our home during the holidays and will continue to be. So, if you’re looking for a new side, this should be it! And if you’re still needing a few more ideas on what will pair well with your main dish, look no further. Sweet Corn Soufflé, Roasted Asparagus, Marscapone Mashed Potatoes, Spiced Cranberry Sauce and Savory Sausage Stuffing. All of these go well, whether it’s prime rib or turkey again.
