During the holiday season, the green bean casserole seems to be a staple on many tables. Whether it is the simplicity of the dish, the flavor, or just a food tradition, many people cannot get enough of that classic recipe. Ready to give the dish a little dash of creativity?

According to Campbell’s, the classic green bean casserole has been searched for “over 4 million times since the beginning of November.” Whether it is the crispy onion topping, the creaminess, or the easy way for everyone to enjoy a serving of vegetables, the reality is that people have and will continue to enjoy that comfort food.

In 1955 when Campbell Test Kitchen Manager Dorcas Reilly, the simplicity of the recipe delighted many people. With just five ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time, the recipe showed that good flavor doesn’t have to be complicated.

Still, sometimes even a favorite food can use a little update. Recently, Campbell’s suggested making a Green Bean Casserole-inspired charcuterie board. Given that the board trend is still going strong, why not skip the casserole for this serving method.

While the board features a selection of cheese, cured meats and other items, it is the little bites of green bean casserole that delight people. Served in little edible cups, the variation of flavors and textures keep the board from becoming boring.
