1. what is "dreaded" about it?

I love it. Could eat it every day of my life. Amd it brings back memories of my Mom.

[HopeHoops]

2. It's a long-running joke food, but I like it too. So do my kids.

But I've had it with cut green beans and it just isn't as good as frenched beans.

[Frank Cannon]

19. Frenched beans are the way to go, and it's awesome.

I have to ask anyone who dreads Green Bean Casserole why they hate America.

22. Freedom beans with Freedom's freedom fried onions.

[Frank Cannon]

23. And a freedom kiss under the mistletoe.

It doesn't get any more Christmasy than that.

[HopeHoops]

27. I'd describe my Christmasy evening, but that would get me tombstoned.

We finished wrapping early this year.

4. You forgot the.....

big white trash bag and the trash can to pour the glop into.

8. heehee vomit casserole

however? If you can actually cook without the primary ingredients needing a can opener or a pop top?

Green beens with REAL sautéed onion and mushrooms are quite good.

But I'd sauté the onion and mushroom with appropriate spice and add it to the the green beans just before serving. Green beans steam cooked to vivid green perfection, so that their skin will have just that tiny little bit of resistance before popping in your mouth.

And of course the green beans would have to be fresh. The cells of anything canned or frozen have been dead far too long to give that "popping" sensation.

16. Yes, just don't use over-the-hill Portobello mushrooms

like I did a few years ago! I had to make enough for twelve people and my cream sauce looked murky after those sautéed mushrooms with their oxidized gills were stirred in. My small grocery store didn't sell much fancy stuff, and I wasn't familiar with Portobello mushrooms, so I didn't realize they undersides shouldn't be dark. My SIL told me I should have scraped them off. Oh well, I had made fresh green beans almondine in previous years, should have stuck with that!

5. I dread not having it.

My GF won't make it, my daughter no longer has access to a kitchen... Say... *I* know my way around a stove!

to the grocery!

[HopeHoops]

9. You've got the recipe now. Hurry, most groceries close around 6 tonight!

Enjoy!

6. I agree - french cut beans are the only wait to go

Unless we rename them freedom cut beans.

[HopeHoops]

10. Yeah, and Freedom's freedom fried onions, too.

Damn was that stupid. I still laugh every time I think of that picture of the poor cook putting up the sign saying "We are now serving FREEDOM fries." E-FUCKING-GADS!

I'm amazed that Bush didn't have the Statue of Liberty torn down and sent back to France, except that he probably had no clue that it came from there. He certainly had no clue of what is inscribed on the base.

[HopeHoops]

17. "only wait"? I trust you mean "only way".

7. I like it.

I grew up on comfort food.

[FloridaJudy]

11. As long as it's made with fresh or frozen green beans

It's delicious. Made with canned green beans, it's an abomination.

[Generic Brad]

12. I'm making it right now

I can't wait to be filled with dread.

[HopeHoops]

14. Am I in your will?

[MichiganVote]

13. Prefer it with sharp cheddar on top. And extra muchrooms. And some parmesan. Soup can decadence.

[HopeHoops]

15. You just have to pat your ass and say "Ahhhh - oops, sorry" when you open it.

20. One of the dishes DH insists upon

He isn't demanding, he just likes the comfort of tradition on holidays. I add mushrooms to ours.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

24. Fuckin' Glen Campbell. Is there ANYTHING he can't do?

Recorded "Wichita Lineman" AND originated this holiday favorite.

In 2011, the Wichita Lineman is STILL on the line, baby. Go, Glen...GO.

26. I love all the individual ingredients....

Just not all mixed together.
