With 30 million green-bean casseroles set to appear on Thanksgiving tables next week, my good friends at Del Monte thought us Tushkateers (members of the Kick in the Tush Club<\/a>), as well as devotees of Our Lady of Weight Loss <\/a>might like me to serve up some fun green-bean casserole facts with our green-bean casserole!<\/p>\n

First…
\n…which U.S. State Loves the Green Bean Casserole the Most?
\n<\/em><\/strong>Del Monte asked 1,500 Americans to “go green bean” and rate their fondness for the classic green-bean casserole side dish.<\/p>\n

Here, the TOP 20 U.S. STATES THAT LOVE GREEN-BEAN CASSEROLE<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

#1:\u00a0 Kentucky (78% of residents ‘really like or love the dish’)
\n#2:\u00a0 Wisconsin (77%)
\n#3:\u00a0 Missouri (76%)
\n#4:\u00a0 Iowa (75%)
\n#5:\u00a0 Maine (74%)
\n#6:\u00a0 New Hampshire (73%)
\n#7:\u00a0 Florida (72%)
\n#8:\u00a0 Colorado (71%)
\n#9:\u00a0 California (69%)
\n#10: Mississippi (68%)
\n#11:\u00a0 Oklahoma (67%)
\n#12:\u00a0 Utah (66%)
\n#13:\u00a0 Kansas (66%)
\n#14:\u00a0 Texas (65%)
\n#15:\u00a0 Maryland (64%)
\n#16:\u00a0 Ohio (63%)
\n#17:\u00a0 Massachusetts (62%)
\n#18:\u00a0 Illinois (61%)
\n#19:\u00a0 Michigan (60%)
\n#20:\u00a0 New York (60%)<\/p>\n

And now…
\n…the TOP FIVE ‘SECRET INGREDIENTS’ FOR GREEN-BEAN CASSEROLE<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

Del Monte also asked state residents to rate their favorite “secret ingredient” — a single, creative item that can be added to the casserole’s iconic green bean, cream of mushroom, and french fried onion flavors to make it unique and different.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, the Top 5 most-wanted secret ingredients are:<\/p>\n

#1:\u00a0 Bacon (37% picked it as their favorite secret ingredient)
\n#2:\u00a0 Cheese (19%)
\n#3:\u00a0 Mushrooms (15%)
\n#4:\u00a0 Bread crumbs, croutons, or crushed crackers (12%)
\n#5:\u00a0 Almonds (8%)<\/p>\n

And now…the actual Del Monte Recipe:\u00a0 Green Bean Casserole<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> instructed me to remind you to know thy calories<\/strong><\/em>, read thy labels<\/strong><\/em> and\/or check out all nutritional information on a calorie counter<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Your basic green bean casserole serving size is 1\/2 to 2\/3 cup.<\/p>\n
