4. Only if it's done right.

Lots of people ruin it in one way or another.

If it's made properly then

12. Gotta be green giant green beans - I think kitchen cut

Durkee fried onions and campbell's cream of mushroom soup.


Anything else is unnecessarily fancying it up.

[csziggy]

13. French cut green beans, too!

[OriginalGeek]

19. I think you're right

I was confusing my cuts.

[drm604]

23. Has to be french cut beans

and Campbell's cream of mushroom soup.

I'm not sure if I'm familiar with Durkee so I'm not sure if that's right or not, but it has to be real onion rings. The big thick batter coated onion rings, not those dried things in a can. Like these: http://www.instructables.com/image/FLF3PATGKS0UZQP

26. I have never seen it made with REAL onion rings!

and I am a veteran of years and years of Baptist pot-luck suppers!

I might try it though just because it's likely to upset the Baptists.

33. You put them in a layer two deep on top.

I never knew it any different. We always had it that way for Thanksgiving. It's always a disappointment to me when someone makes it with the dry things.

The rings absorb the soup and get soft and very tasty. You can cut them with the spoon as you're serving it.

When I was little, they had to keep an eye on me so I didn't take all of the rings and leave beans for everyone else.

[OriginalGeek]

43. hehe - I've been known to scoop the dried things

they get crunchy on top! I love it!
My wife had to start dipping into the casserole dish for me to leave some for the others...

6. It's one of the most disgusting things ever created, but I love it, HOWEVER,...

... only the original recipe which called for French-cut beans. The cut ones don't, well, cut it.

And yes, I still make it from time to time. Campbell's prints the recipe in the Sunday coupon inserts.

7. It's okay.

One step above Hamburger Helper and one step below Beanie Wienie.

8. one of my favorite sides- doesn't matter the time of year.

Unfortunately, my inlaws screw it up every year so I don't get any until after the holidays when I make it for myself. They put sauteed onions and almonds in it- and no french fried onions. Who does that? blech.

9. You're right -- it's absolutely disgusting, yet somehow compelling...

"I am filled with remorse, and it is most delicious."



Still, we won't be serving it this year ...

14. It's OK as a comfort food but not for special occasions

The best part is the Durkees fried onions.

15. blah

17. Yum!

I make it with fresh or frozen green beans.

[Kaleva]

18. Love it!

[riderinthestorm]

20. A Thanksgiving standard but we use fresh green beans

Not the biggest favorite on the table (turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes are clear winners) but it has its fair share of devotees in this house. Wouldn't be T-Day without a spoonful on the plate!

[Liberalynn]

21. Love it

[Canuckistanian]

22. I'm fascinated by this

Green bean casserole.... it's practically unknown in Canada. (I wouldn't even know where to find canned fried onions). Maybe because we have a different Thanksgiving date.

But SO MANY Americans say that this is as much of a tradition as turkey.

I don't get it.

[fleur-de-lisa]

24. The epitome of redneck cuisine . . .

canned green beans, canned mushroom soup, nasty dehydrated onions . . . my repuke sisters favorite dish, so I have to vote 'HATED IT"!

31. It's a guilty pleasure.

There is nothing, nothing, in that dish that I would eat by itself.

And yet, combined, and after having consumed sufficient quantities of wine before and with dinner, it's not bad at all with turkey and typical US Thanksgiving Day fare.

I've had it enough times, over a sufficient number of years, that it really isn't Thanksgiving Dinner without at least a serving spoonful of the stuff. Kind of like black eyed peas (which I truly dislike) at New Years.

[libodem]

32. love it

Sofa king good!

34. good

36. its a tradition. what would Thanksgiving be without it?

[Blue_In_AK]

37. :)

with the condition that the beans be fresh or frozen, not canned.

[Major Nikon]

39. +1

[catzies]

38. : ) and a <3 from my daughter and me

It will never be off the holiday menu.

[Kali]

40. meh

I think I have only had it once - it wasn't in my family's tradition so I had it once at a friends house. I don't like soggy bread products so the onion ring topping kind of grosses me out, but I could eat it if it was the only side dish or something.

[NCarolinawoman]

41. :^)

As long as it has a lota lota onion rings.

42. YUM

Even better with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup with GARLIC!

um..no.
