(WTHR) – Here's a Thanksgiving side you you can be impressed with – even if you're not a green bean casserole lover.
Green Giant, the iconic vegetable brand, broke the Guinness World Record for cooking up the largest serving of green bean casserole ever. It weighed in at 1,009 pounds!
The original serving record of 637 pounds was set by the Green Giant brand in 2017 to mark the inaugural year of the Green Giant float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Wondering who's going to eat all those leftovers?
Well, the massive green bean casserole dish was served to 3,000 older New Yorkers through Citymeals on Wheels, a local non-profit that prepares and delivers over 2 million weekend, holiday and emergency meals each year for the city's homebound elderly.
"Green bean casserole is an iconic Thanksgiving dish, and true to form for Green Giant, we wanted to do something giant to bring attention to the importance of giving back to the community this season," said Jordan Greenberg, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, B&G Foods.
According to Green Giant, the massive casserole was comprised of 1,069 cans of Green Giant Cut Green Beans, 485 cans of mushroom soup, 65 quarts of milk and 95 pounds of French fried onions.
