Green Been Casserole has become a staple at almost every holiday dinner party. Made with green beans, cream of mushroom soup and french fried onions, the original recipe was created in 1955 by the Campbell’s Soup company as a budget recipe. The idea was to create a quick and easy casserole that any American family could prepare with the ingredients they most likely had on hand. And that is how the American classic was created. Since then, green bean casserole has become a staple at the dinner table and also a family favorite.
An homage to the classic green bean casserole recipe, this brand new bake comes to us from our friends the Two Old Crabs. Made with fresh green beans, mushrooms, and their secret weapon, bacon, it truly is delicious. Baked so all of the ingredients make a mouthwatering creamy dish, it is then topped with French’s onions and cheddar cheese. Doesn’t it sound incredible? Make it for your family this holiday season and enjoy!
