St. Clair Side dishes

toria — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 15:18:39 GMT

Has anyone tried these? They have pretty good reviews but some people did not like them. I am thinking about trying them this year. They come with gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, and cornbread dressing. I wonder how many people can be served from the 2 pound tray that is provided, since they are side dishes not main dishes. They don't say, nor do they give dimensions of the containers they sent them in. Pls advise.

I'll try to help you - I bought St Clair sides years ago - didn't like a couple of the dishes - after bad reviews back then ....I decided to give it a try again this year. If 3 out of 4 are great - that's great.

Size of container - the standard like you get in a Chinese take-out. Just A Guess: 9 x 5 but deep dish too.

How many to feed: again a guess - if you use all 4 sides for dinner - guest are stuffing themselves with 'stuffing' Mashed Potatoes, Rolls.................and Turkey or other meat - JUST A GUESS again - at least 12 - 15 people.

This is the best I can do to answer your inquiry. Happy Thanksgiving

One after thought - if you really don't like the food and can't eat it - - QVC will refund your money. They will never request you return the remainder of the product. QVC is very good about that - I've complained about a few selections - and a refund was automatic.

St. Claire's side dishes have been included on my Thanksgiving table for a long time, although I can't remember exactly for how many years. We like them all a lot. There was one, the first time I ordered a set, it was potatoes au gratin, that was sort of watery. It tasted very good, but needed either a thicker sauce or more potato slices in it. I buy this brand every year and we enjoy it !

I ordered the Mac&Cheese, Sweet Potato Casserole, & Dressing combo. I can't say about taste, but then again, everybody's taste is different. I bought Cracker Barrell one year and Publix one year and didn't like either one. I think other people liked it. I'm just very picky I guess. I know one year when my mother was sick, they ordered from somewhere local and it was really good. This was a small town that didn't have Kroger/Publix so I have no idea where they got the food.

Everyone’s tastes are so different, it all depends on what you like. I absolutely love St. Claire’s sweet potato casserole. I think it’s the best I have ever tasted! Simply delicious.

However, I make my own sausage stuffing and do not like St. Claire’s dressing/stuffing, nor their macaroni & cheese at all. I do not like nor will I ever eat green bean casserole, so I cannot comment on that.

Love the Sweet Potato casserole. The mac n cheese is yummy but rich... the same with the baked potato casserole.

I usually like every thing so I will probably like it. I realize it might not be exactly like what I make so I am realistic. The stuffing is what Southerners like, it won't be the kind we are accustomed to in the northern states so I am expecting that. I don't know if I will use the gravy. It has giblets and chopped boiled eggs. Another southern type recipe. I prefer a smooth gravy with no chunks in it. I'll give it a try though. We don't usually have mac and cheese with turkey so may save that for another day.
