History of the Recipe
Green bean casserole, was created in 1955 by the Campbell Soup Company. Dorcas Reilly led the team that created the recipe while working as a staff member in the home economics department. The idea behind the dish was "to create a quick and easy recipe around two things most Americans always had on hand in the 1950s: green beans and Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup."

In 2002, Reilly presented the original recipe card to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio.
