A Thanksgiving Recipe Staple: Green Bean Casserole

Posted by Nina on November 8th, 2009 at 12:12pm

So often, we associate a certain kind of food with a certain feeling, or a certain time of year or holiday.  Green bean casserole is no exception.  For me, green bean casserole recipes mean one thing:  Thanksgiving is coming!  True, we do eat it other times of year, but for some reason, green bean casserole recipes are evocative of the warm, cozy feeling I get whenever I even think of celebrating Thanksgiving with my family.  Thanksgiving recipes abound, and for most people, it’s all about the turkey.  Not me, though.  I mean sure, turkey is fine and dandy, but I really like all the side dishes even more.  Mashed potatoes.  Sweet potatoes.  Green bean casserole.  Cranberry sauce.  My mouth is watering now just thinking about it!

I know we all have our likes and dislikes about different Thanksgiving recipes, but one thing that everyone seems to agree upon is that they love green bean casserole.  Whether it’s a spicy green bean casserole recipe, a cheesy green bean casserole,or just a traditional green bean casserole like many of us grew up eating, people love these dishes.  If you want to learn how to make green bean casserole, check out any…or all…of the 6 green bean casserole recipes in our collection.  They range from simple and fast to completely homemade, down to the cream of mushroom soup and the onion rings.  So delicious!
