Read More: Mrs. Dorcas Reilly worked at Campbell’s test kitchen in New Jersey. Staff asked her to make a new recipe in 1955. She had to use items common in kitchens. She mixed green beans, a can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and crunchy fried onions. The green bean casserole was born! The Campbell’s company says 40% of all its cream of mushroom soup sold ends up in this dish. Dorcas in the Bible served others too. She didn’t make casseroles; she made clothes for the poor. Holiday traditions can include loving others with acts of service. (Acts 9:36-41)
