The Side Dish That Steals the Show Let me tell you something: green bean casserole does not get nearly enough credit. Every year at Thanksgiving, it sits quietly on the table while the turkey hogs the spotlight, but I have watched people go back for seconds and thirds of this dish more times than I can count. When you make it from scratch -- with real mushrooms, real cream, and those gloriously crunchy fried onions on top -- it is an entirely different experience from the canned-soup version.
