Disregarding that bit about b. frank, I agree. Green bean casserole; hate it. Tuna casserole; hate it. Broccoli casserole; hate it. Anything cheesy; hate it (See, I hate cheese. All cheese. No cheese shall pass my lips. I always request specially made cheeseless pizza)

Cowboy casserole; love it. Mmmmm... (^3

Green Bean casserole is to Thanksgiving as ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ and ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’ is to Christmas. However, I do like Green Bean casserole.

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........

My daughter and I love it. Husband and son don't.

We are having both green bean cassarole and roasted aspearagus.

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.

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.

Aw, now, don’t be a hatin’ on the Green Bean Casserole!

[TSgt]

LOL! Me too!

Except the Barney Frank part.

Green bean casserole rules. Now three-bean salad I can live without. But all other casseroles — especially those ctaining noodles of some kind — are ambrosia in Corningware.

I’m not a big fan of green bean casserole, but I’ll have a few bites. Last year a friend gave me a recipe in which you make your own mushroom soup/sauce and baked onion rings. Those in the family that like green bean casserole loved it.

[trisham]

Ingredients:
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can CAMPBELL’S® Cream of Mushroom Soup

3/4 cup milk

1/8 tsp. black pepper

2 (9 oz. each) pkgs. frozen cut green beans, thawed*

1 1/3 cups FRENCH’S® Original or Cheddar French Fried Onions

Directions:
MIX soup, milk and pepper in a 1 1/2 -qt. baking dish. Stir in beans and 2/3 cup French Fried Onions.

BAKE at 350°F for 30 min. or until hot.

STIR. Top with remaining 2/3 cup onions. Bake 5 min. until onions are golden.

My wife and I were discussing this very issue earlier this morning.

We both agree with you. Neither of us can understand why anyone would want to ruin perfectly good green beans by doing ‘that’ to them.

[Liberty Valance]

Just replace the green bean casserole with hospital grade Green Jell-O!

Maybe nobody will notice.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I like green bean casserole. The only foods I can think of right off hand that I truly hate are boiled eggs, deviled eggs, boiled peanuts. Oh, and boiled okra. I sense a common thread here, involving “boiled”.

I’ve had a tremendous aversion to green beans since a child. I remember picking them out of my vegetable beef soup and placing them to the side. The one year I took school lunch I remember the bowls on the table filled with those foul-smelling comestibles. Slimy, horrible little things they are. A green bean casserole is a dish from hell.

[MissTed]

I’ll take the casserole and you can have the pumpkin pie. ;)

[kingu]

If you've got a Trader Joes in your area, there's a great from scratch recipe on their fried onion garnish can that is a family favorite... Except for the token vegan who hates the half pound of bacon inside.

I think a lot of people love the memory of Green Bean Casserole from a can being on the Thanksgiving day table. Personally, it tastes just like it's made...a bunch of canned goods dumped in a dish and heated up.

[animal172]

I’d rather see my ex wife than eat green bean cassarole.
