A classic like this calls for sides that feel just as familiar. Mashed potatoes are the natural choice here, since there is almost always a little extra glaze or juice to pair with them. Green beans or roasted carrots add some color and round out the plate without much fuss.

Joi's Kitchen Notes: Savings & Swaps

• Budgeting Tip: This recipe uses pantry staples like breadcrumbs and eggs to build out the loaf, which keeps the overall cost low without needing anything specialty.

• Swap Tip: No breadcrumbs on hand? Crushed crackers can serve as a binder substitute while still giving you a similar texture once baked.
