**Green Bean Casserole: A Thanksgiving Classic with a Twist**

Green bean casserole is an American classic side dish commonly served during Thanksgiving. It is made with fresh or canned green beans, a creamy sauce, and crispy fried onions. The creamy sauce is typically made with cream of mushroom soup, milk, and chicken broth, while the crispy fried onions add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. This comforting dish is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a popular choice for busy hosts.

**Included in this article are three variations of the classic green bean casserole recipe:**

* **Traditional Green Bean Casserole:** This recipe uses fresh green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chicken broth, and crispy fried onions. It is a simple and straightforward recipe that results in a creamy, flavorful casserole.


* **Green Bean Casserole with Bacon:** This recipe adds bacon to the traditional green bean casserole for a smoky, savory flavor. The bacon is cooked until crispy and then crumbled over the top of the casserole before baking.


* **Green Bean Casserole with Fresh Herbs:** This recipe uses fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage, to add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the casserole. The herbs are added to the creamy sauce and then stirred into the green beans before baking.
