Green bean casserole is a casserole consisting mostly of cooked green beans, mushrooms, and french fried onions. We're sharing our take on the classic recipe and adding some "meat" to it - figuratively not literally!
Fun Fact: The classic green bean casserole recipe was created in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly at the Campbell Soup Company and is a popular side dish for Thanksgiving!
