My Favorite Thanksgiving Food- Green Bean Casserole
One of the hardest questions in life to answer is “What’s your favorite food?”. Even harder to answer is “What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food?”. Between the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the array of desserts, it’s hard to pick just ONE. Since things like mashed potatoes are eaten throughout the year and not just on the holiday, my answer would be something I usually only eat during the holiday season- green bean casserole.
Yes, it sound- and even looks- a little gross to some people. But I promise you it’s delicious. I do enjoy vegetables, and green beans are probably my favorite. Fun fact: when I was little, my babysitter told my parents I ate an entire can of green beans by myself in one sitting. This recipe also includes cream of mushroom soup and crispy fried onions. No, I don’t enjoy creamy soups or this soup on its own, but mixed in the casserole you really can’t tell. The onions on top are crispy and add just the right amount of kick to the dish. The best part is how simple and easy the recipe is (click here for the recipe my family uses). You can even add other ingredients for fun variations.
What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food or recipe?
I think mashed potatoes & gravy would be my fave Thanksgiving fare…hope you have a blast Rachel!!!
Yum I love mashed potatoes and gravy too!
My mouth is watering over this picture! I was just saying yesterday to one of my friends how green bean casserole is my absolute favorite!
The side dishes are the best aren’t they? It’s all about the stuffing for me 🙂
stuffing comes in a close second for me!
I LOVE French’s onions (made chicken covered in it last night!) but I’m not a fan of the green beans. My fav Thanksgiving food is potato anything 🙂
I love them on chicken, too! I used to make that in college a lot
This looks delicious!
Now I’m super hungry! Green bean casserole is my absolute favorite, too!
Is this weird – I actually just tried a green bean casserole last year for the first time in my life! I loved it!!!
not at all! I’m glad you liked it though!
UM YUM! I LOVE green bean casserole… I could eat it all day everyday, no lie! Definitely looking forward to this part of Thanksgiving dinner 🙂
We always have green bean casserole at Thanksgiving. Definitely one of my favorites.
My mom made this recipe when I was growing up! It’s so good.
SO yummy! Looks delicious!!
I don’t like green bean casserole, but it’s definitely a holiday staple. My mom’s making it on Thursday! My favorite Thanksgiving food is definitely turkey! No one else seems to care for it, but I just can’t get enough of it! Oh and the canned cranberry sauce is amazing as well!
Turkey is always overlooked by the side dishes- you’re right!
Agreed. Green bean casserole is amazing and apparently easy to make. My other favorite? Mashed potatoes I’m a total carb girl.
MMMMM yes!
I’m back in Madrid! I would love to spend thank’s giving in USA and try all these amazing recipes!
Xoxo
Oh my, I’ve never eaten anything quite like that, but let me tell you, it looks DELICIOUS!!! I definitely need to make this!
It’s so good- and healthy because it has green beans, right? haha
No, you’re completely right! The GBC is a staple in my home for Thanksgiving and it is quite delicious 🙂
My favorite, however, has to be cheesy potatoes! I don’t know that all families do cheesy potatoes, but they definitely should! Thanks for getting me in the season!
You’re so right! A bunch of not so delish things come together to make an amazing dish. It’s on my Thanksgiving menu!
mine too! mmm
Mmmmmm this is the dish I was actually asked to make this year for my mother in law. Its a MUST HAVE. I used to make it for years back when I was in HS and college for my family. I can’t wait to taste it again after all these years. Im sure it will bring back many delicious memories.
SO many people are saying they used to eat it but haven’t in years- so I think you definitely should try it this year!
Oh yum! I don’t love most Thanksgiving foods but I do love the holiday! I’m not really into stuffing or cranberry sauce, etc. I am partial towards mashed potatoes!
Those are yummy, too!
I love it too!! I haven’t had it in years though, I think I better make it this year for sure!
Yes you should! I only eat it maybe three times a year, so I never can get sick of it!
My favorite is Pumpkin Pie! Yum! 🙂
haha aww that story is so cute and funny! i used to sneak cans of baked beans into the shopping cart when i was a toddler. hmm you’re right, it’s hard to pick ONE fave dish, but pumpkin pie has to be it!
we just loved beans I guess!
That’s my favorite too! My favorite part is the topping 🙂 Great post!
That’s my favorite too! My favorite part is the topping 🙂 Great post!

Green bean casserole is also my favorite! Even though only my husband and I will be eating the meal this year, I still made a full size side. Gotta love leftovers! 🙂
I love Green Bean casserole too :), definitely one of my favorite Holiday foods. I also love the turkey. Yumm, getting hungry already! Happy (early) Thanksgiving!!
You too! 🙂
