Our green bean casserole recipe - is a bit of a departure from the traditional. This side dish recipe, has never been a 'thing' here in Canada, so we don't feel bound to the original green bean side dish recipe.The original green bean casserole was created by a team at Campbell’s Soup Test Kitchen in 1955, whose leader was Dorcas Reilly. The recipe, originally called for cooked cut up green beans, one can of cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, a dash of pepper and canned French-fried onion; it was a hit!
