When somebody says American dinner, this is what pops into mind

Baked potatoes topped with crumble and a cheesy white sauce, baked beans (fresh from the microwave), and baked asparagus. This was my second attempt baking potatoes and asparagus and I loved it!

Thank you! I was a bit lazy so I just threw on olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, a little bit of paprika and chili powder, and salt and pepper

This definitely doesn't look typically American to me. I too would have assumed OP was British from just the pic.

To be fair, my reference only was my very American husband who told me that the plate feels very nostalgic to him lol

No offense but this looks disgusting, as if you microwaved everything on the plate. Just kidding I want to eat that it looks tasty.

5% of Americans self report as vegetarian. This translates to nearly 17 million people. There are more vegetarians in the US than there are people in most countries.

While it might not be tremendous amounts of protein, beans are not that bad and combined with potatoes their nutritional value is also slightly improved (although the potatoes themselves have only very little protein).
