Hey, who couldn’t use more time as the holidays ramp up?

We want your make-ahead dishes that no one would guess were prepped early. We’re talkin’ that sage and corn casserole that brings everybody back for seconds or the umami gravy that’s been chilling in your freezer for a few weeks.

Do-early desserts like apple cider pie and plum galette get high marks, too. And don’t forget weeknight faves like sweet potato curry or sheet-pan Swedish meatballs. Submit your most marvelous make-ahead dishes and you could win big!
