USA- Green Bean Casserole Recipe

Green bean casserole

Originally, this recipe for green bean casserole comes from the side of the French’s fried onion package. It is very simple and contains just a few ingredients. This is a typical vegetable side dish for Thanksgiving in the US. In fact, I can’t recall a time when we didn’t have this dish for family Thanksgiving celebrations. I try to make it wherever I am in the world, using the closest ingredients I can find.

In the UK, the fried onions are called crispy onions and are usually found in the salad dressing aisle. And France has a literal translation of fried onions called oignons frits. Tins (aka cans) of cream of mushroom soup are easy to find in the UK. However, in France I had to opt for a large carton of fancy forest mushroom soup (velouté de champignons). It had a stronger taste of mushroom and seems less processed than the tins. However it is a thinner consistency than the tins, so I would use slightly less than 400 g. The French mushroom soup has a more refined flavour so it could actually be a good future variation in the recipe for green bean casserole!
