Our survey of 4,000+ Americans revealed the least popular Thanksgiving sides, but they haven't tried ours.
When we surveyed over 4,000 Americans about their least favorite Thanksgiving side dish, Green Bean Casserole took the top spot by a landslide.
It's not hard to understand why this classic has fallen out of favor. Traditional recipes rely on canned green beans and condensed soup, creating a mushy, overly salty dish that feels more like a throwback to 1950s convenience cooking than something worth celebrating at your holiday table. But here's the thing: green bean casserole doesn't have to be the dish everyone secretly dreads.
