Green Bean Casserole didn’t simply appear on our dining tables, somebody had to invent it, but who? Jump into your DeLorean and set the controls for 1955… once you’ve arrived, avoid Biff Tannen and head straight for the Campbell Soup Company’s Home Economics lab. The recipe is simple, deliciously nutritious, and after 58 years of trial and error it’s pretty much mm-mm-foolproof.

It hasn’t been a great year for the “Queen of Butter” but Paula Dean’s Green Bean Casserole manages to avoid controversy while satisfying stomachs… must be all that butter! A heaping cup of grated cheddar cheese keeps this time-honored holiday treat from being, well, cheesy.

Let’s face it, Green Bean Casserole isn’t at the top of everyone’s favorite holiday side dish list; it’s headlined more than a few LEAST favorite Thanksgiving dinner foods compendiums as well. What to do? Add an extra ingredient that never fails (among non-vegans, at least) to rouse moribund taste buds: bacon. This quick & easy recipe from SheKnows entices skeptical eaters with the sweet smell and great flavor of cooked & crumbled bacon!
