Green bean casserole

Green bean casserole is an American baked dish consisting primarily of green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and french fried onions. It was popularized in the USA from a recipe printed on a soup can starting in the 1950s. It is a popular side dish for Thanksgiving dinners in the United States and has been described as iconic. The recipe was created in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly at the Campbell Soup Company. As of 2020[update], Campbell's estimated it was served in 20 million Thanksgiving dinners in the US each year and that 40% of the company's cream of mushroom soup sales go into a version of the dish. Campbell's cream of mushroom soup was created in 1955 and was the first of the company's soups to be marketed as a sauce as well as a soup. It became so widely used as casserole filler in the hotdish recipes popular in Minnesota, where Lutheranism is a popular religion, that it was sometimes referred to as "Lutheran binder". Like other food companies, Campbell's employed recipe developers to create recipes using their products as part of their marketing strategy.
