I'd sooner be roofied by Barney Frank than be subject to the holiday abomination known as green bean casserole.
Well, at least you can dress for it.
I just like the crispy onions, no one ever puts enought crispy onions on the top.
My Mom chops up the turkey innards (gizzard, liver, heart) and uses them in the stuffing.
Its good, but almost always gives me a gout flare-up.
Casseroles in general are a bad idea. Glopping together several ingredients like that raises the likelihood that the dish will either contain something a given person doesn’t like, or a combination of two items that may be liked individually but not wanted together.
My Thanksgiving memories include a bizarre dish my sister and I referred to, indelicately, as “Yak turds.” Sweet potatoes are baked, mashed with butter and brown sugar, formed into patties, rolled in crushed cornflakes, topped with miniature marshmallows and baked until crispy. Eat with a pat of butter on top. I will not identify the family member responsible for this. I prefer plain baked sweet potatoes, but will admit they don’t have the same “glamour.”
Do you like pie?
Cowboy casserole; love it. Mmmmm... (^3
Exactly. In order to achieve its platonic ideal, this dish has to have the precise, brand-name ingredients. No off-label soup, and no random fried onions.
That’s amazing. I just got off the phone with my daughter and we were discussing her terrific green bean cassarole. Yum!
I saw an article with the supposed “Top 10” Thanksgiving Day side dishes, and the one that made me throw up a little was called “Cottage Cheese Salad”.
Take a container of cottage cheese, mix in a cup of real mayonnaise and garnish with chopped green onions.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........
We are having both green bean cassarole and roasted aspearagus.
My wife is always so critical of everything she cooks.
Her: Sorry, I cooked it too long and I didn’t use enough salt.
Me: Well I THOUGHT it was pretty good before you started trashing talking it.
Top 10 from 1954?
How about creamed onions or roasted brussels sprouts or sauteed butternut squash with sage or smashed ‘tators with garlic and sour cream and a touch of chive or fresh cranberry sauce or stuffing with sausage and cranberries?
Also, brined and roasted fresh turkey (dressed on Monday of this week) with onion laced gravy and pumpkin pies made from fresh pumpkin. add some dinner rolls and you have what my family’s getting tomorrow.
Oh, and a warm up of cheese & crackers with pears & grapes and shrimp cocktail with a cocktail sauce designed to clear you sinuses.
We put oysters in our stuffing. It's amazing!
green bean casserole is a form of terrorism. that’s why you see so many speculative comments about the lutherans and baptists show up on terror threads.
Very cute.
On reflection, an unAmerican statement like “I hate green bean casserole” would only be a problem if the TSA was actually screening for terrorists.
