[edit] History of recipe
Green bean casserole was invented in 1955 by the Campbell Soup Company test kitchen under the leadership of Dorcas Reilly.[1] Their goal was to come up with simple recipes using Campbell's foods, to promote the company's product. It has since become a popular Thanksgiving side dish in the United States. The casserole is typical of 1950s American food in that it smothers vegetables in a ready-made and thick, creamy sauce. Green bean casserole can be made with any brand of canned cream of mushroom soup available or a homemade cream soup.
In 2002, Dorcas Reilly presented the original recipe card to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio.[2]
