016 Archivesturkey, while iconic and difficult to avoid, is by far the worst part of the Thanksgiving dinner. The real magic is in the sides.
Thanksgiving menus certainly differ from family to family (or friend group to friend group, if we're talking Friendsgiving). We have, for example, heard pernicious rumors that mac and cheese is not a part of some Thanksgiving meals.
But there are a few staples that pop up more often than not – and we bet you're wondering which is the best one.

Cranberry Sauce; Shutterstock ID 226918597; Project Name: ; Requested By: ; Client/Licensee: Credit: Shutterstock/teleginatania No one needs multiple cups of stewed berries. Homemade cranberry sauce, while tasty, is always the last thing sitting in your fridge a week after Thanksgiving's passed.

It's not that we don't endorse cornbread – we're just saying that rolls are a stronger option.

Sweet Canned Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving Dinner; Shutterstock ID 732601789 Credit: Shutterstock / Brent Hofacker Sorry, but arguing with the algorithm is futile: canned cranberry sauce is a tart surprise in a sea of umami and should not be underestimated.
On turkey, it's delightful. Pair it with a bit of savory stuffing and it's basically every flavor in one bite. And on next-day sandwiches, it's an essential layer. You can even slice it!
Bonus: It's extremely satisfying to plop it out of its can, and in these trying times, small moments of satisfaction are important.
We know this is controversial, but we can't deny our hearts. Canned cranberry sauce forever!!!!
