Did you know there is a National Green bean Day?? Why didn't anyone tell me??????

Firstly, I didn't know that  just anyone can create a Holiday... and secondly I wonder why it took so long to create one for Green bean casserole! Thirdly and most importantly, they didn't include the original recipe!!!  OH MY!  But I did.

 

 

 

 

Even before. 1955,  I remember the lavish Holiday  dinners our family had.   I don't remember  anything even close to a green bean casserole, not until 2002-2003 when I first tasted it, and was immediately HOOKED...yummy yum yum yum.

 

The classic 1955 recipe for Green Bean Casserole was developed by Dorcas Reilly at the Campbell’s Test Kitchen¹. Here’s how you can make it:

National Green Bean Casserole Day on December 3 celebrates the dish and its interesting origins. The holidays are going to be knocking on our doors soon, and there’s no harm in getting our preparations underway from today onwards. Green bean casserole is enjoyed by many all over America for its few ingredients and simplistic recipe that does not require too much time and effort. Two of the main ingredients include cream of mushroom soup and, of course, green beans. The two are either mixed together or layered on top of each other. The smooth and creamy texture is complemented with the extra crunchiness of french fried onions sprinkled over the top and voila, you have a filling and nutritious dish. The recipe was such a gamechanger on the American food scene that its inventor, Dorcas Lillian Bates Reilly, features in the Hall of Fame alongside the likes of Thomas Edison and Muhammad Ali.

National Green Bean Casserole Day was created as a holiday by Jace Shoemaker-Galloway. She is credited with covering many unique and wacky holidays in her writing career that spans from Yahoo, to Planet Save, to Energy Boom and many more. Having researched all such holidays, Shoemaker-Galloway started realizing the fun and merriment that unique holidays tend to bring. Out of the many holiday ventures the writer brought to life, one of the most prominent and celebrated was National Green Bean Casserole Day. This day pays homage to the classic holiday dish that is enjoyed by around 20 million Americans worldwide. Reports state that around 50% of all green bean casserole recipes are made between the period of November to January, which is when the holidays are in full swing.

So, how did this dish come into being? It was created back in 1955 in the Home Economics Department of Campbell Soup Company. At the time, Dorcas Reilly, the main inventor of the dish, was working as a manager and recipe creator for the company. The goal was to create something using ingredients that would be readily available in an average American kitchen. Reilly and her team selected five ingredients and created something in 10 minutes. The world was still reeling from the effects of WW2, and easy-to-make dishes were all the rage. Initially, the dish was named the ‘Green Bean Bake’. While the recipe was a great way to satisfy those hunger pangs in a few minutes, it did not take off until the 1960s when the Campbell Soup Company started putting the recipe on their soup cans. From then on, green bean casserole became a staple in Thanksgiving spreads. Reilly also became known as the “grandmother of the green bean casserole.”
