The game's question

Read one ingredient at a time, and let the dish come back to the table.

In 1955, in a soup company’s recipe kitchen, Dorcas Reilly put together a simple recipe: green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and crispy fried onions on top. Into the oven it went. Before long, it had become a Thanksgiving dish, set down on the table next to the turkey. What is this dish called?

  • Jell-O salad
  • Green bean casserole
  • Chex Party Mix
Need a hint?

Picture it coming out of the oven, crispy onions on top, then read the three names slowly. Who brought it to your holiday table?

See the answer

Answer: Green bean casserole—Dorcas Reilly’s recipe, 1955.
