Original Green Bean Casserole


This green bean casserole recipe, with canned beans and French-fried onions, is a holiday favorite with my family and so easy to make. The beloved dish has been a Thanksgiving tradition since it was created in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a chef from the Campbell's Test Kitchen. Campbell's printed the recipe right on the label of their soup cans, and the rest is history. From allrecipes.com.

*French fried onions are generally considered "foods worth trying cautiously" rather than strictly IC-friendly, as individual tolerances for onions vary significantly. While some with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) can tolerate them, others may find them to be a trigger. Be sure to check for other problem ingredients.
