As we get closer to Thanksgiving, a few familiar ingredients always find their way back into the kitchen. From savory turkey stuffing to homemade pumpkin pie, the best holiday meals often start with the pantry staples we’ve loved for generations.
At FamousFoods.com, we’re celebrating three classics that belong on your fall shopping list: Bell’s Seasoning, Milk Lunch Crackers, and One Pie Pumpkin. Whether you’re planning Thanksgiving dinner or simply craving a little seasonal comfort food, these staples make it easy to bring traditional New England flavor to your table.
Bell’s Seasoning: A Thanksgiving Kitchen Staple
For many New England families, Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be the same without Bell’s Seasoning. Its signature blend of herbs and spices brings that familiar savory flavor to turkey stuffing, roasted poultry, vegetables, and more.
Keep a box in your pantry for holiday cooking, or use it to add a little extra flavor to everyday fall meals. From Sunday dinners to the big Thanksgiving feast, Bell’s is a classic for a reason.
Milk Lunch Crackers: A Traditional Twist on Turkey Stuffing
Looking for a stuffing recipe with a little New England nostalgia? Milk Lunch Crackers are a great option for creating a savory cracker-based stuffing to serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey.
Crushed crackers make a delicious alternative to traditional bread cubes, soaking up broth and seasoning while creating a comforting, flavorful side dish.
New England Cracker Stuffing Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 package Milk Lunch Crackers, crushed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1–2 teaspoons Bell’s Seasoning, to taste
- 1½–2 cups chicken or turkey broth
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a medium baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
- Place the crushed Milk Lunch Crackers in a large bowl. Add the cooked vegetables and Bell’s Seasoning, then toss to combine.
- Gradually stir in the broth until the crackers are moistened but not overly soggy. You may not need all the broth.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until heated through and lightly golden on top.
Serve alongside roasted turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and your other holiday favorites.
Kitchen tip: For food safety, bake stuffing separately from the turkey. If you choose to stuff a bird, the center of the stuffing must reach 165°F.
One Pie Pumpkin: A Fall Baking Favorite
Once the savory dishes are taken care of, it’s time for dessert. One Pie Pumpkin is a longtime New England favorite for homemade pumpkin pie and other seasonal treats.
Use it to make a classic pumpkin pie, bake a batch of pumpkin muffins, or stir it into quick bread batter for an easy fall breakfast. Its smooth pumpkin flavor makes it a useful pantry staple throughout the holiday season.
Some of the best Thanksgiving traditions start with simple ingredients and recipes passed down through generations. Whether you’re seasoning your stuffing with Bell’s, making a cracker-based side dish with Milk Lunch Crackers, or baking a pumpkin pie with One Pie Pumpkin, these familiar favorites help make the season feel like home.
