Will you be making a green bean casserole for Thanksgiving next week?
If you love this staple but maybe want to switch it up a bit, we’ve got the classic recipe along with some variations at the end of the post.
I’ll admit it – it’s one of my favorite holiday meals. I love the contrasting textures of the green beans and french fried onions, with the creaminess of cream of mushroom soup.
Indeed, the history of green bean casserole does begin with Campbell’s.
Who uses white pepper? I’ve only used it once.

This is a Rachel Ray recipe.
I’ve recently discovered that my husband loves Rachel Ray’s foods. He in fact bought me a subscription to her magazine for my birthday a couple months ago, and forgot to tell me about it.

As with the Caesar salad dressing recipe I found, after this I never want to buy bottled again.
I found this Ranch dressing recipe on The Huffington Post, and I do recommend checking it out and not just going off of my post here, and I’ll tell you why.

It’s interesting how candy corn has become such a Halloween staple considering, A – It’s available year-round, B – many people hate it, and C – candy corn doesn’t come individually wrapped, making it a poor choice to hand out to trick-or-treaters.
