Green Bean Casserole ? ** UPDATE - POST #25

[cassiesmom]

I'm one of the few people on the planet who doesn't like the Campbell's green bean casserole that's made with cream of mushroom soup and fried onions. My mom gave me one that doesn't require the onions, so I'll get it in the computer tomorrow for you, happylabs. For just eating green beans I like Trader Joe's frozen haricots verts- steam them for me, cos I like them just the way they are. Maybe with some toasted almonds.

I've also never tried green bean casserole probably because I didn't think it looked very good. My mom has made it before. I like green beans and even the french cut ones. I don't like onions or cream of mushroom soup. Maybe if it didn't have the onions or cream of mushroom soup I'd be more interested. I also love green beans with almonds.

I've only had it (original) at my friend's house. I thought it was awesome. There's never any left. I haven't checked Jenn's recipe yet, but if she made it, it's got to be fantastic.

I miss the green bean casserole, but as I am allergic to green beans now, there's not much point in lamenting. Both ways sound fine!

Without the cream of mushroom and onions it would be just plain green beans.

I've never made this but here's one from the pioneer woman.
I usually make the one on the can but have made it so many years that I'm over it.

My Mom makes sweet and sour grean beans with brown sugar and vinegar - I've made them a couple times for the Pet Talk gathering in Findlay and they are da bomb (to quote Jenn) I like them sooooo much better than the casserole!

I love green beans. I can eat them just plain, and love them with caramelized onions and almonds.

I have all the makings for the "Mean Greens" by Guy Fieri... so that's what I'll be contributing on Thanksgiving. My asked for it, so that's what I'm making, lol. She's another one who love green beans and also the fresh mushrooms.

Curious...I must ask... what are French cut green beans...and French's onions can?

[caseysmom]

French cut green beans are cut lenghtwise. French's fried onions in the can are onions that have been fried with a batter on them. You just combine cannded beans (or any cooked beans), mushroom soup, soy sauce, milk and the onions for the tradition recipe. Its very easy. Then you bake it in the oven for a bit.

I have all of the ingredients now and cannot wait to make it on Thanksgiving. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

As a picky person, green bean casserole is the only way I'll eat green beans .

I'm not sure what recipe my mom uses, but it sure is good.

Thanks for the explanation! Still wondering why they are called French, as we NEVER cut green beans this way, and we do not use fried onions from cans... But I was also told the French's onions was also a brand...

Anyway, if someone has a picture of the green bean casserole to share, I am interested to see what it looks like
