She has to have a name! So I looked them up. Sadly John passed in 2007 but as of that time he was survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Evelyn.

[@JoVo1111]

If I had to start using that format when signing my name in this current culture but we could ALSO get back to appreciating the nuclear family with old time sanity…go ahead and call me Mrs. John Doe.

[@Virginiafox21]

Edith was a surprisingly close guess! I’m sure she’d love that her recipe is still being made.

[@amarenee2020]

Well at least Sam got the “E” right! 😂

[@richg8530]

Thanks for looking this up...was on my way to do the same but figured I'd check the comments first to see if anyone else had searched yet 🎉🎉

[@marelunareikiasmr]

​@@Virginiafox21Evelyn whispered in his ear but he didn't quite hear her right 👻

[@davidostrom2661]

My girlfriend made this yesterday without the mushrooms since she hates mushrooms and we LOVED it. As a keto couple this dish knocked it out of the park from all angles. Definitely will be making this again soon!

[@bryanhayes9728]

Yeah it's not often we find keto side dishes on a traditional channel like STCG! Thanks for the review, can't wait to make it tonight!

[@hydrojet7x70]

I saw this at 9am this morning. By 11am I had it done and packed in the car for meeting at the family’s thanksgiving lunch. It was the star of the show.

[@jeanineskitchen2607]

thats cool!

[@apache698tj]

Made three of these for Thanksgiving yesterday (20 people). People who don’t usually like mushrooms were loving it. This was a huge hit, I used a double smoked bacon and the smoke flavor stood out. Great recipe thanks for sharing!

[@DEAJP10]

Pleeeeeeezzzzzzzz keep doing “Right boys!?” “Right!” It’s awesome! 🙏

[@loismiller7742]

Sam, I just made this dish!!! Absolutely delicious! My husband is eating it now and making all kinds of happy sounds. It supposed to be for Christmas dinner @ ham. I even had the right pan and did your magic release over the bowl. This will be a family tradition. Peter said he could eat the whole thing!

[@edwardwilkinson966]

We just made it! Forgot the topping but it is a game changer! We LOVE it! Thank you Sam!

[@rachelgibson1858]

Green bean casserole is my families favorite. 30+ people for our extended family gathering and we all love it.

[@jadeh2699]

So, in other words, quiche filling. Love how you fancied it up!

[@alexnicol4267]

This impressed the entire family today for Thanksgiving. Great dish highly recommend.

[@jasonfaulkner2014]

Made this for the first time for Thanksgiving today. My wife, my mother in law, and the kids all insisted this go into the permanent rotation and the guests asked for the recipe. I gave them a link to this video! Great success!!

[@ParisGirl1202]

My husband and I discovered your channel during lockdown and have been loyal viewers every since. After watching, my husband and I decided to scrap the pre-planned green bean casserole and make this instead. And OMG...so glad we did!! Everyone LOVED this...even my very picky mother who said she never really liked green bean casserole. My thought was then why have we been making it for the past twenty years! Thank you "Edith" and Sam for the great recipe. Goodbye green bean casserole and hello spinach cheese pie...our new family favorite Thanksgiving side!! 🥳

[@nddugas]

Is this not basically just a frittata? Our traditional Thanksgiving breakfast/appetizer - crescent rolls stuffed with a mix of cream cheese and spicy/hot breakfast sausage. Our kids love them, we love them, guests love them.

[@paigeharrar7202]

Stfuuuu you switched up the thanksgiving game and I love y’all for it truly THANK YOU

[@stephenboyajian8844]

Thanks for sharing this great recipe Sam! I made your version, but miscounted my cream cheese and ended up having to substitute it with a spare container of mascarpone. Everyone enjoyed it. Happy holidays!

[@lucascady4992]

Rutabaga is the one thing we only have at Thanksgiving and Xmas. It is one of my favorite holidays food! One year Mom didn't make it at Thanksgiving, my sister and I said we wouldn't be coming to Xmas if there was no Rutabaga!😂 We've had it at both ever since! Love You Mom!! ❤

[@nicelady51]

It's like a crustless quiche or a fritatta. Sure looks wonderful!! ❤

[@sandy-mr5gj]

Your new thanksgiving dish looks yummy and also quiche-like.

[@tinavandergrift4779]

We tried this recipe yesterday for Thanksgiving (still made the green bean casserole LOL), ON MY WORD! The layers of flavors slapped me multiple times! A must dish throughout the year!! My hubby and I love your channel!

[@reemsughayer115]

My husband and I just love watching you cook...can you make cirnish pasties?

[@Wichitan]

So, we've rediscovered quiche. Wonder how it would work with mascarpone? And some capers? And maybe artichokes instead of mushrooms? (For the fungus-averse among us...) The double-fried onions look AWESOME!

[@adamborgia3880]

Green bean casserole is actually one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving, straight up.

[@tonyp6631]

Same. I almost felt called out personally by his green bean casserole hate. But I'm still thinking of trying this and having both. In your face, sam!😂

[@SyzygyNoon]

It’s a verified crime that no one has responded to this. Whether a person subscribes to the notion of, or belief in, a greater good that exists beyond our understanding, I can promise you that whatever beings dwell within that sacred place, they absolutely revere green bean casserole as divine ambrosia next to which no manner of sustenance compares. Truth be told.

[@dustyweber7189]

Green bean casserole is the best. I'll make it all year. Side dishes know nothing of a calendar.

[@brodygaston6053]

Me too! If you make it for family - sub cream of chicken for the cream of mushroom, then add some diced mushrooms if you want. Cream of mushroom has an unappealing gray color. Parboil your green beans if they're fresh. And you can get better crispy onion topping than the common Frenches brand. I'm not typically a Whole Foods shopper, but they have a great crispy onion alternative.

[@SyzygyNoon]

@@brodygaston6053 I’m not the biggest [add more mushrooms] fan, but they are a fun guy, and I can see how your version takes it up a notch.

[@gregoryhansen9628]

Love your show, sarcasm and humor is definitely a family feast, your show is family to me

[@hssh8698]

Ok, so I cooked this today and it not only tastes incredibly delicious, but I just realized it also has no carbohydrates. Since I watch Sam's show, I have already replicated many recipes and my family loves them as well. Thanks Sam!

[@Juicypaint]

I like the idea of this recipe being for breakfast because of the eggs and bacon and the way it looks. I will try it soon. But I'm going with the green bean casserole because I searched and searched for what I hope will be a good improvement over the non-fresh canned stuff. I AM making Sam's creamed corn because that looks so yummy 😋

[@davidpeterson8821]

On my must do this year list. This looks incredible. Love the addition of the spinach! 😀

[@Krixo56]

Greenbean casserole is like my favorite thing from thanksgiving.

[@wiskysin]

Green Bean Casserole with fresh green beans, bacon, and homemade cream of mushroom is 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@vickypatout5361]

I am soooo making this. I really like green bean casserole but this is so elevated but easy! Wonder how it would be with feta instead of monterrey jack🤔 Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃❤️🦃

[@aaronkohrs3108]

We made this for Thanksgiving…pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the idea. Definitely a good side or even a healthy breakfast

[@pauldenu]

Made this for dinner tonight. It went together flawlessly and tasted so damn good. Heck with “side” status, it made a great entree! I wouldn’t change a thing in this recipe. Even the crispy onions fried in butter and topped with parm were perfect. Thanks Edith, er, Sam!

[@kathydunlap5345]

Doctored up and with fresh green beans, the casserole is not bad. But I'm always open to a new side. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@myjewelry4u]

Looks delicious! We make spinach balls with a ground mustard vinegar and sugar dip.

[@janmacgregor6998]

I made this last night. Great Keto dish! We ate it as a main dish and it was delish. I thought it was a bit too spicy with 1 tsp pepper flakes and will reduce that next time. But I will definitely make it again. Thanks, Sam!

[@DC-zq4jg]

Yo been following you for years and love the food and videos and even been to not not tacos in SD but your sence of humor is the best! the SHOCKER in the background is priceless love it!

[@simonbaker5972]

A fancy pastry free quiche!

[@GoBoSox20]

That quiche sounds great. Nothing like a green bean casserole though.

[@JSH1]

We’ve been making variations of this for many years, usually for Christmas Eve. Ours is also named spinach pie (quiche) which is our version of a Greek spanakopita. The original version my grandmother used to make was eggs, cream, spinach, onion, feta cheese, dill, salt & pepper poured into a pie crust. We’ve updated it to add artichokes and bacon to the above. Either way it’s the best damn side or meal!

[@jeanineskitchen2607]

just made it the other day,love spinach pie!

[@mickvk]

Thank you for the recipe. That helps me Make America cook Great Again!!

[@philipmclamore]

Props to the "shocker" sitting in the background. LOL Love it. Prob Maxes doing haha

[@DawnalynForrest]

That does look really good! I’m planning to make it!!

[@cyndiguillory320]

Yes! I see this with artichoke hearts too. Thank you for this one!

[@withasideofdoodles-326]

It's really good with extra mushrooms, green bean casserole.

[@mikejanson1939]

Place the grater on the bench long ways. Hold and grate cheese. Cheese mostly stays in the grater. Pick up and put in bowl. Less strain when grating stuff.

[@patricialadd520]

Hello! I'm a new subscriber from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Just discovered you. I like how you improved this spinach recipe. Those were great ideas, some I would do myself. Thanks for teaching me a couple of new tricks also. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skills, and talents. You are a very good teacher! 😉👍💗

[@theneighborskitchen]

This thing is pure art, Sam. Way to bring the "fork drop" to the table 🤣🤣 good video guys! be well...

[@wdm4995]

Watched this video a few days before Thanksgiving and just knew I had to make it for the T-day celebration. Made it exactly like you did. Absolute perfection. It's just as good as reheated leftovers. With that in mine, one suggestion. On the day you make it fresh, make only enough of the crisped up onion rings as you'll need that day. Any of those left over don't do well reheated as leftovers. It would be better to make a new batch when you need them. Keep cooking great stuff, Sam. Love your channel.

[@dunep6465]

Great Looking Side Dish Sam!!! And you're right Max, it looks like a frittata. I know I'm gonna try it. This is one that you can do a lot of adding and never go wrong.

[@bikeny]

A frittata was how my mom got me and my brothers to eat spinach and broccoli (I don't recall if she put them both in or if it was today it's spinach and tomorrow it's broccoli) when we were growing up. And I am going to make it too. I feel like I've been watching a lot of their videos, because when he said he's gonna add 3 things, I guessed that one of them would be the red pepper flakes.

[@permanentfitness1919]

Yeah, that looks really good. Nicely done! 👍

[@thomasrice5522]

I made this twice, for the 2 different dinners I went to today and it went over huge!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!

[@zach3305]

Man green bean casserole is my favorite side dish without a doubt... Freah green beans, water chestnuts, french onions on top.... Its also my favorite left over.

[@lindathompson3673]

Happy Thanksgiving, guys🦃 I believe you have another winner here😊

[@paulknoch]

I made this yesterday for Thanksgiving. Thanks Sam. Very easy to follow recipe.

[@petebowen9031]

That looks awesome!!

[@emilyachickwholikesstuff3632]

Dude green bean casserole is my favorite. In the only one in my family who likes it so my mom makes me a whole casserolejust for me lol i couldeat the whole thing at once. Ugh its so good.

[@emilyachickwholikesstuff3632]

Every time my momma makes me some she always leaves a little bit of the fries onions in the bag so when I reheat it I can still have fresh crunchy bits cuz when it's reheated the steam softens it. God it's so good. If I ever knew I was going to have a last meal...I would make sure green beans casserole was part of it lol ❤️❤️

[@nddugas]

I love green bean casserole as long as it uses fresh or frozen green beans.

[@swampdweller5]

Big thanks! I made this dish for Thanksgiving this year. (tonight) I deviated slightly. I did not use the bacon. I know... I know....And I used chanterelle mushrooms. Let me tell you. People freakin loved it! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving...

[@jgray2718]

For even more greenery I think some broccoli would be fantastic in there, as would some corn. Full disclosure: I try to find ways to disguise broccoli because it's incredibly healthy but tastes bad. This looks like the perfect way to do it.

[@robertgrenader858]

The Tart pan used in the video is Teflon coated. If you use a non-coated pan, even greasing with butter, the frittata could stick when you remove it. Better to use a greased 9" springform pan.

[@teresamaria5804]

Crustless quiche for thanksgiving? Sure why not.

[@G-Unit1111]

Since I started following the KZbin food sphere, it seems like every Thanksgiving, there's always a debate about green bean casseroles, and everyone seems to love it or hate it. And every channel always thinks they have cracked the proverbial code. I am with Sam on this, I think it's the green beans themselves. I have never been a big fan personally. But this I would totally eat the hell out of, and probably go back for seconds and thirds!

[@MM-dk7gt]

I Love You Guys! Thanks for my silly grin I can't drop just yet. You're all nuts! And I'm here for it!

[@Jimmerca]

This reminds me of frittata that I like to make for breakfast now and then. The only differences I use a 12 inch nonstick skillet and finish it off in the oven.👍🏻👍🏻

[@dustinj4283]

I don’t know why max hates the phrase “it’s all downhill from here.” To say that is to imply that the hard part is over and you just coast from here on out lol

[@kimberlyday1672]

Looks scrumptious! It's too good to save for holidays only.

[@bjshifko]

I love green beans, tolerate them in casserole form, but this looks great also.

[@zachharvin2186]

Always really like your recipes, and have watch so many. I may have just missed this in previous videos, but did anyone else notice that one of the model hands in the background was doing the shocker? I thought that was pretty funny. Don't know if it was intentional, but it cracked me up.

[@AndreaWitt745]

It's been in the background of the past few videos as well 😂

[@thedeeprot]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shaughnessymcdermott]

This holiday I was in charge of bringing a vegetable dish. I was pissed because I never do vegetable dishes I had to compete against sweet potatoes and stuffing and biscuits and anything else you can think of for Thanksgiving. I decided to do this dish, and guess what was the most popular? You guessed it! I have no problems bringing the vegetable dish anymore. So good!

[@chrisfairley2930]

I made a hollandaise sauce for it. Excellent!

[@purplestar3336]

You can use an egg slicer to slice your mushrooms! Works like a charm! I use it for strawberries too.

[@bryanhayes9728]

Wow and I've had an egg slicer sitting un-used in the drawer all these years! Thank you!!

[@michaelabell8963]

I gotta do this! It looks like quiche but I like the variant. Cuz I like savory quiche.

[@srice6231]

That looks so delicious!

[@ameliam7898]

Bacon 5, onion in grease, add mushrooms, knob of butter & garlic paste until carmelized. Bowl cream cheese, 2T butter - cream together, bacon, 10 oz spinach (drained), 4 eggs beaten, mushroom mix, 8 oz mj cheese. S/p, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Butter, fried onion topper. Once cooled add parm cheese

[@desertvet1990]

Just made this. I changed it up and actually used some smoked pork belly. I think it’s stepped it up a notch.

[@jimfeger2391]

I made this today for a church gathering of about 100 people, so I tripled the recipe and baked it in two 9x13 pans. It went over very well despite the fact that I pulled a Sam and forgot an ingredient. As soon as I removed it from the oven, I realized I forgot to add the Monterey Jack cheese. 😮 So now I have to make it again. Tripling the recipe was fine but I also should have had a larger pan to sauté that much onion and mushroom

[@JeffreyBrosef]

My family makes this every year. It's my favorite side dish. We'll have to try the spruced up version!

[@deeannhansen1469]

Looks amazing!! Will definitely try it for Thanksgiving!!

[@sazji]

In official situations, my mom always spoke of herself as Mrs. John Beer. Around 1970 she was written up in our local paper for her work in putting together a cookbook for the American Heart Association, and was mentioned only by my dad’s name. Several people wrote letters to the editor to protest that, but my mom was not a feminist yet and said she was proud to be my dad’s wife. (Yeah mom, but you still have your own name!) It got her thinking though!

[@jeanniebell9493]

Looks and sounds delicious ! Thanks !

[@eric_emenhiser]

That's what you have for breakfast before the turkey day dinner. Looks good, just not as a vegetable side.

[@MistressSugarbritches]

I’m gonna cook that! I have everything on hand but the mushrooms. That could also be a KETO super dish for anyone to enjoy. But I don’t really care what it looks like as much as what it tastes like so a pie plate will be My weapon of choice. Update on this, I cooked it up today & it was quite yummy! I didn’t however keep a watchful eye on it & it turned out sort of cajun-ish on top because the cheese may have burned a little. But I caught it in time & it was really good. Although it wasn’t as picturesque as the video one turned out.

[@bryanhayes9728]

I like the "Cajun-ish" term you used! ...I'm adopting that when necessary!

[@EvonS]

I just made this, minus the bacon and pepper flakes and it’s turned out great. It’s def going to be a staple. Not sure whether to call it a frittata or a quiche

[@snarky4lyfe144]

I love green bean casserole! I would love this dish too but it has too much cheese for my lactose intolerantness. When I make the casserole , I add bacon, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms , and top it with the fried onions. I think its amazing , and my extra kids love it ! ( I hate the word step kids, so mine are just extra , they call me mom , so I am ! )

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

I also have “extra” kids (6!) who call me momma instead of mom and I love your additions to the traditional green bean casserole! 😋

[@stonerscravings]

I call them bonus kids. I have 6 bonus kids

[@bretburt7317]

As an extra/bonus kid...my Mom always has called me Son and I always have called her Mom. Been that way for 53 years and still going strong.

[@JamesonNichols]

I have brothers, we don’t do step.

[@tobiasGR3Y]

I'm so ready to ditch green bean casserole, hit us with it Sam!

[@adsrentals]

OMG, I was thinking about creamed spinach with artichoke to go with my spatchcock Rose City Christmas Cranberry glazed cornish hens...but you just changed my side dish!!! 🍷CHEERS🍷

[@randamnlee6259]

Rose City Christmas cranberry glazed Cornish hens 😮😮😮😮😮. Recipe please? That sounds amazing

[@MrBud85]

Best side I ever had was Pasta stuffed inside a turkey under the skin. It became thick and crunchy and....I cant find the recipe anywhere....

[@griffinhays2053]

Idk who decided it's this or green bean casserole... like why not both?

[@derekcox6531]

I’m Canadian..I never had a green bean casserole …I feel like I ought a try it actually!🤔

[@dottiedevillier3587]

One could say that it’s a crustless quiche, that was a popular thing in the 80’s. Anyhow I’m somgoing to try this!

[@dlcmac]

We make a delicious, homemade green bean casserole and our own mushroom sauce! It’s incredible

[@apearllady6570]

Looks like a yummy quiche!!

[@andymair7992]

I would eat that as a weekday meal. Not a side. I looks delicious!

[@susandevine2314]

Add a salad and some crusty bread....yeap it's dinner :)

[@mauimarcus]

Me too! That's a brunch dish.

[@belindamiller119]

I make Brussels sprouts with onion, bacon and chicken broth every year. After the sprouts are gone we drink the left over juice. 😋😋😋

[@usmcbigb368]

I love Green Bean Casserole, but I don't make it the same way everyone else does either though, and this year, I'm gonna try some crushed funyuns in the casserole.

[@heathercamacho7772]

Max needs to understand that “downhill from here” is a GOOD thing! It’s referring to if you’re riding a bike or walking or whatever… and get to a downhill section - hurray! Downhill is easy peasy! 😂

[@seanycmaloney]

Does substituting fresh spinach change any of the preparation?

[@my2cents35]

Made this for Christmas Eve party 2023. It was a hit. I chopped fresh spinach. It wasted time. Next time for speed and simplicity, I'm using frozen chopped spinach like in the video. Probably, any cheese would be OK, but I stayed with the recipe and used Monterey. Also, I used 5 eggs. I wanted to make sure the finished product was firm and easy to cut into well-defined wedges. In any case, it's an easy recipe. I highly recommend trying it.

[@Vorpal_Wit]

I like Green Bean casserole, but I' will definitely try this CRUSTLESS QUICHE of yours.
