is not something my family does and I don't get it... what is the appeal?

Re: ok so green bean casserole

  • The onions. the beans are just an onion & fat delivery system.

  • It's yummy.  I can't exactly describe why, because the ingredients make it sound gross, but it's not.

  • i hate it... i think it has a nasty flavor... everyone else seems to love it though :  meh

    for me, I think it's the canned onions, or maybe people are using frozen green beans, I dunno.. i've never tried one that i like

    Mmmm hmmmm.  It's the only time we have it - as it has really no redeeming health value, but the salt and fat with the (yes) canned green beans?!  NUMEY!!!!

  • It's creamy, fatty goodness with crunchy oniony things.  What's not to love!?  It's actually the only way I like green beans.  I generally think green beans are grosstastic.

    No - YOU'RE grosstastic!!!!!!!  :P

    (green beans are only really good fresh, or canned in the yummy casserole goodness)

    bwuahahahahahaha!  Ok, I take it back - I also like those crispy ones like you get at the Chinese restaurants.  But that's it.  I just don't think they have much taste to them, on their own.  They're one of like, two vegetables I don't like.

    We are Americans, and this is an American holiday - bring on the saturated fat and salt!!!!!

  • I'll admit I grew up on tinned beans so they hold a special place in my heart - I love them with butter and salt. So maybe I would like this... what is the sauce? And the onions are tinned as well, right?
  • DH never had greenbean casserole until a year or so ago.  Now he wants it for every holiday meal.

    blech.

  • ok, i used to loved the stuff from a can. but ever since i made my own from fresh green beans, i have a really hard time eating it from the canned stuff.

    but its mostly a can of green beans, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a few of those onion things stirred in, bake, top with more onion things, and bake a bit longer.
