New Green Bean Casserole

New Green Bean CasseroleThe perennial green bean casserole was created in 1955 by Campbell Soup.  Typical of recipes for it’s time, the vegetables – often canned – are covered in soup.  Tasty comfort food it is, evoking fond memories of Thanksgiving menus, but times and tastes can change.  (If you don’t mind rocking the menu for Uncle Harry!)

Here’s my lightened version with fresh green beans, a touch of cheese, and the new Seneca Crisp Onions.  A unique vacuum processing method using canola and sunflower oils makes crispy onions that are transfat-free and 30% less fat than comparable snacks.

Seneca Foods, known for premium brand canned fruits and vegetables since 1949, also makes snacks with Washington state apples and sweet potatoes.  My Spicy Party Mix of sweet potato chips and crisp onions is an irresistable munchy on T-day.  Happy Thanksgiving!

      Neat, I love your Cranberry Revolution, Jill! I’m all for shaking up Thanksgiving menus, but keeping some tradition too.

    Glad you’re connected with us, Greg! With a big family and lots of comings and goings, your method of cooking is realistic. And, you’re a natural in the kitchen. I hope we can provide some new ideas and flavor twists to keep you interested. You know me; I like it simple, but tasty. Rita
