Good Ole Green Beans



Well this is a very corny recipe to me...but it is so classic for Thanksgiving. I think that the green bean casserole must have started in the 70's or something. It seems very true to that era of home cooking. I had to make a quick and simple dish and it sure is one! My mother has this recipe written down, but I think that it comes from the Campbell's soup can. I hope I don't get into trouble! The recipe for 12 is as follows...

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Ingredients:
8 cups of cooked and cut green beans (I like fresh...it is worth the work)
2 cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
1 can of french fried onions (try French's 6 oz can)
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons soy sauce
pepper to taste
extra french fried onions for the top

Mix everything together (saving the reserve french friend onions) and put into a 9 x 13 greased baking dish. Bake this for about 20 minutes. Then add the reserve onions and sprinkle them on top. Bake for another five minutes. Easy and dummy proof! Very comforting as well. XO

Is it weird that I've never had green bean casserole? I feel like I've been robbed of an American tradition or something! This recipe however looks delicious so I'm going to have to make it for myself and find out what I've been missing!

This and stuffing are my FAVORITE foods for Thanksgiving and I think we use the same recipe. It's so good.
I don't cook and my mom doesn't cook it very often so I don't get to have it alot.

I don't think I've ever had green bean casserole either...I mean I eat green beans...just not in a caserole. I would love to try one sometime, but I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms. Other than that, this recipe sounds great.

I've had a dish similar to this before. It's alright, but I feel like it needs bacon. Then again, I feel like most foods need bacon.

My favorite culinary philosophy is: the best condiment is meat or more meat.

I have never had this dish before, it sounds pretty good. I like when dishes can take something as mundane as green beans and make it delicious and satisfying. This recipe sounds like one I should try sometime, if I could ever get myself to follow directions in the kitchen.

Green bean casserole has definitely found it's way inside me many times. That didn't sound quite right. I guess it's also found it's way out of me several times also. It's a Midwestern classic, just like yours truly. Everyone should experience this truly American sloppy side dish. I dig the recipe and so far so good on the blog! Good work, these food blogs are fun to read and write.

I haven't tried green bean casserole before, but I'm willing to try it. It sounds like it might be testy. I'll try to make it, I have a feeling that my fiance might like it.

I like trying to cook new dishes, so this might be fun to cook.

I've only tasted a generic green bean casserole, and when I say generic I mean not homemade. Everything tastes better homemade, so I'm sure I'll like it the second time around! Thanks for the recipe. It sounds easy enough to make.
