I hate green bean casserole.

[js1138]

Made with canned vegetables, its awful. Green bean dishes made with fresh produce are wonderful.

Green beans in particular take on a canned taste.

Anything involving cream of mushroom soup is tops in my book!

What it's supposed to look like:

What it looks like after I've polished off my pre-Christmas dinner bottle of Jamesons:

New Green Bean recipe:
Creamy Swiss Green Beans
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
2 cans 16 oz. cut green beans or french cut green beans
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
Cook onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender, Stir in flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, add milk. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Drain beans and stir into sauce, add sour cream and cheese. Put in a 10x6x2 baking dish, melt remaining butter mix with crumbs. Sprinkle over beans, bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Very good! Nice change from old green bean casserole.

Let's do a bit of spell check here.

Or perhaps this.

2 cans 16 oz. cut green beans or french cut green beans

You can use fresh or frozen(thawed), it tastes better.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even the stuff at Popeye's...LOL

[lOKKI]

Has any legally licensed food Chemist ever determined exactly what is in a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup?

I can't be sure of anything except the carpenter's glue. After that, it could be anything.

The very thought of the stuff makes my choke reflex start up.

I suspect the chemical compounds involved are almost as vile as those used to make "Barbecue" (sic) potato chips.

[dinasour]

I'll grow okra but I refuse to eat it.

That's fine. More for me.

[Rose of Sharn]

sure do! :D

At the next FReeper gathering, everyone will bring their version of GBC. Nothing else. No corn, no meat, no nothing, just GBC.
can i bring an "icky" bucket? :D

[Alice au Wonderland]

More power to 'ya!

[Lawgvr1955]

Damn you, Dallas59!! From now on, when we have GBC, I will lose my appetite by associating it with Helen Thomas. Grinch!! (But thanks for the yucks).

With Thanksgiving a week away this deserves reconsideration.

[the lastbestlady]

Casseroles are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Especially, green bean casserole.

[johnny7]

Ever have breakfast at... The Purple Cow?

[the lastbestlady]

Yeah, I have actually. Why do you ask?

[johnny7]

Was 'The Big, Montana Breakfast' still on the menu?

[CholeraJoe]

Never was a more wretched dish conceived and proffered under the guise of a holiday speciality.

Have to disagree. My aunt made a lime jello mold containing miniature marshmellows and shredded cabbage that was loathsome.
