Green Bean Casserole ? ** UPDATE - POST #25

[happylabs]

I decided I could not serve the green bean casserole with French's onions unless I had tried the recipe. Last night I just made 1/2 of the recipe with one can of green beans and half a can of the mushroom soup. Turns out I don't really care for this dish. I didn't hate it but it also didn't really "grab" me. Now I am thinking of making that Pioneer Woman recipe or the sweet and sour if someone will give me the recipe for the sweet and sour green beans.

Otherwise, it may just be plain old green beans.

When you have it along with 50 other dishes and you are half drunk and in a trytophan coma its not too bad

Count me in the don't like the casserole category. I love FRESH green beans. Cook them as little as possible, toast some slivered almonds, toss the green beans with butter, pepper and almonds - call it a casserole!

You could do green beans almondine, just steam the green beans, saute onions and almonds in butter, toss together and serve. Yummy!!

Try the sweet and sour - I pm'ed you back. I'd be interested in seeing how the pioneer woman's version is. We went decades without having green bean casserole at any of our functions. I started making it but now I've overdosed on it - blekkk I made it for Christmas last year and I swore it was the last time in a long time! tho I might do the PW or the sweet and sour sometime!
the key to the sweet and sour ones is let them simmer and then they become almost candy like.
