[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these people saying they make theirs with fresh green beans and scratch components are taking away the intended essence of the dish. The taste of a canned green bean is intrinsic to the green bean casserole, as are the french's fried onions and the canned cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup. You can Ina it up with "good quality" ingredients and make it a different thing or you can let it be the comfort food it is for people who grew up with it on their table. No shame in that, it's ok! Now do canned cranberry sauce.[/quote]

Green bean casserole was regularly served at our table growing up, not just reserved for holidays.  It was just canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and fried onions (I’ve never heard of it with cheese or cream of chicken soup).  As Pp said, it’s a comfort food.

FWIW, I despise canned cranberry sauce.  A a child, I had an unfortunate experience at a potluck where I confused slices of canned cranberry sauce for sliced beets (which I liked), and served myself a generous helping. [/quote]
