My wife was all prepared to make it but just ran out of time. WE will have it later this week with our "family" Thanksgiving (just us, no pesky relatives).

I said no and glad for the absence because I can't eat mushrooms and they were in this one.

Gosh...am I the only casserole loving girl??? I do make it and was planning on it this year too. Then my aunt offered to make her asparagus cassreole which I LOVE and can not make as well as she can. I struck a deal with the family. I made green bean casserole Monday night with baked chicken and yesterday, we had asparagus casserole. Left overs GALORE!!! YEAH! I think I'll go make a couple of turkey sandwiches...now, there's another topic to start...I like turkey, mayo and mustard on white bread. My Jim likes turkey and cheese, heated in the microwave to melt the cheese, on wheat. Mollie likes turkey with mustard on wheat or white. Hubby likes it like I do.

If there's any left over in the fridge, I'm goin' back in for more today.
YUM!

all the leftovers are at my sister's house, so I'm going to have to make some green bean casserole this weekend.

That's why, when you have dinner at someone else's house, you bring along some Tupperware containers - so you can snatch some leftovers to take home!

I buy thoses glad containers just prior to holidays. Just for sending left overs home with guests. Then there's my Oh so tackful Mother. I love her but she announced last night "I don't need to take any home. I'll be back a lot this weekend to help you eat it up"...translation..."You have to come get me since I no longer drive, and I'll eat here and you can clean up the mess while I complain about how loud the kids are and WHY is James watching football??" Yes, she actually asked him yesterday "Why are you watching football and lying on the couch?"...okay, after Thanksgiving dinner...what is a Husband/Father SUPPOSED to do???

I made it and I ate it. Everyone at dinner did 'cept hubby and his bro.

smile winningly at his MIL and say, "Isn't it about time for us to find you an ice-floe?"

Blech

Why would anyone want to eat canned green beans when you can get yummy fresh green beans all year round?

My recipe for holiday green beans:

3 # Green beans (FRESH) blanched for 5 minutes
2 thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 thinly sliced Maui onion
1/4 # thinly sliced prociutto
garlic...lotsa garlic

saute all of the above in extra virgin olile oil for 5-7 minutes

casseroling everything! My dad and I ate it, but...

Actually, once I learned how to tweak it by using french cut green beans and
avoiding mushroom (gag) soup, I could make one that was pretty good. I do
like the fake onion thingies best, so just stir in a bunch more and I can eat it.

We didn't "do" Thanksgiving yesterday, since hubby and I have both been too
sick to spend time with anybody in close quarters, but S-i-L sent over a bunch
of food for us. Unfortunately she doesn't believe in salt, and they always just
buy a smoked turkey, so there was no dressing or gravy... I guess sick folks
in quarantine can't be choosers, huh? She did send GB casserole, along
with bean stew, lima beans, bean salad... Quite the "bean-y" assortment!

If Barb cooked it...I'd be afraid!

And I use frozen green beans...canned beans are squishy!

I made it, tasted good while drunk AND sober

Ahh, the true test of a well-made green bean casserole.
