    Why Green Bean Casserole Should Be The Official Food Of The Holiday Season

    Don't even try and act like GBC isn't going to be on your Thanksgiving table.

    It's that time of year again...

    But Nicole Westbrook forgot one major thing...

    I mean COME ON...

    What's that Great Aunt Edith? You're making what for Thanksgiving?

    Mysterious significant other visiting the family for the first time, what's that you've got in your hand?

    And it's not just for Thanksgiving...

    Check this ish out:

    It's that warm gooey green bean mixture...

    And those crunchy fried onions...

    And, if you're like 110% of the population...

    So thanks for playing, turkey.

    Sorry, cranberry sauce.

    And VERY close call, mashed potatoes.

    But Green Bean Casserole is the most legendary holiday dish OF ALL TIME.

    So while you're shoveling that GBC down, make sure you say thanks to Dorcas Reilly, the creator of green bean casserole.

    (And a thank you to Miss Elizabeth Elliott, for the idea to recognize the most important dish at our table.)
