Green Bean Casserole: Why It's So Good and How to Make Yours the Best
Green bean casserole has been a holiday favorite for years. At its most basic level, green bean casserole is a combination of green beans, mushroom soup, and French fried onions. Soy sauce and milk are also generally included in the recipe. More elaborate recipes, though, might include things like cheese, garlic, bacon, or canned mushrooms. There are even less traditional green bean casserole recipes which will have you add regular onions rather than French fried ones or which will have you use fresh green beans rather than canned ones.
One of the appeals of green bean casserole is its simplicity. For most of the recipes, you are just going to combine all the ingredients together in a casserole dish, and then you'll put the casserole in the oven usually on 350 although some recipes call for other baking temperatures such as 400. The majority of green bean casserole recipes take from 20 to 30 minutes to cook. Many recipes will also have you put some of the French fried onions on the top of the dish.
Green bean casserole is a popular dish at events where a person may have to cook for a large number of people and where the person might be cooking a lot of different dishes such as Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Part of the appeal is that itís an easy recipe. On it's original level, only five ingredients were needed: mushroom soup, green beans, French fried onions, soy sauce, and milk with black pepper added as an option for added flavor. The short preparation and cooking times also add to the appeal, especially when someone is trying to cook a variety of dishes. Even the fact that you can make it your own by adding some of your family's favorite ingredients make this a fun dish to prepare and to eat.
For many families, green bean casserole is traditionally part of a certain holidayís menu. It was first invented in 1955. Campbell's soup company employees led by Dorcas Reilly, wanted to create a recipe to better promote their companyís product. Most homes at that time had both green beans and mushroom soup on hand, so creating a recipe that combined to the two was a simple way to promote Campbell's soup. In 2002, the card with the original green bean casserole recipe was donated by Mrs. Reilly to the National Inventorís Hall of Fame to be placed in their museum.
