With all due respect: duh. Of course it tastes like ass.

If I liked casseroles, I might try this:

I have to admit that it is surprisingly I remember seeing it
occasionally when I was a kid but I could not bring myself to eat it. I
had been to my uncle's farm and watched him slop the pigs, and that
casserole looked just like the pig slop. Many years later I was helping
my mother cook Thanksgiving dinner and she asked me to make it. It was
delicious.

Carol said that most of us cook like that. Was she incorrect?

I had to go upthread to see where she had written that and it ain't in
this thread.

I don't know about "most of us". Most of us in this group or most of us
on this continent. I remember a lot of casseroles back in the 60s and
there is the occasional casserole at pot luck meals. I don't do
casseroles and, other than lasagna, I just don't see the people I know
making and serving casseroles.

Since I don't like string/pole/runner beans, I can safely say that that
looks an unappetising mess, with an emphasis on mess!

As I said in an earlier post, it looks like pig slob. Having cooked it
and eaten it, |I can tell you that it is delicious.

That's similar to how I will be making mine, everything fresh, the 'shroom soup from scratch. Making your own 'shroom soup is very easy, cheaper, tastier and not to mention healthier...

Just received a pound of dried mixed mushrooms from Amazon, $32.00 and this will last me at least four or more months, and I use quite a few of the flavorful fungi:

https://www.amazon.com/Roland-Dried-.../dp/B000UXW988

Price: $31.87 ($1.99 / Ounce) Prime FREE Delivery

DRIED WILD MUSHROOMS: A hearty blend including oyster, bolete, and porcini mushrooms

QUICK PREPARATION: Simply soak in warm water and pat dry to use like fresh mushrooms
RESTAURANT QUALITY: Ideal for use in food service or in the home

I also like to throw in some slivered almonds and diced red bell pepper to jazz it up a bit...

There must be lots of dishes you won't eat then, because you think
they're a mess. Maybe you prefer meat and three veg, all neatly sorted
next to each other?

It's not and he's taking things out of context. It was a comment to a
simple potato casserole that used a can of soup and some cheese.

Trimmed so much it has no clue on the thread.

A simple potato casserole which some add enough meat to, to make it a
main dish instead of a side dish.

That's a very similar version I made tonight.

My son likes that dish. He says it's a big hit at parties. He makes a big tray of the stuff. I never had this infamous dish until I was on the mainland at my brother-in-laws funeral. I was excited to finally find out the truth about green bean casserole. It was even made in it's native land by the local natives. Hoo boy!

French's...mustard?

Del Monte what?

I've had string bean lasagna that was very good. The string beans were a
substitute for the pasta layers, not the meat.

Only three ingredients. Campbell's soup, French's fried onions, Del

Del Monte green beans? I thought they just grew on their own. Now I'm
confused. When I grow green Beans, are they Master Bruce green beans?

If those are "proper ingredients" McDonald's should be Zagat rated.

sometimes i don't overthink food. it all comes out brown
anyways.

i don't particularly like canned green beans, but doctoring
them up with cream of mushroom soup and some french fried
onions at least gives them some more interest to my taste
buds.

we had a big dish of this at the TG dinner. i had a few
large spoonfulls. no problem to me.

come next summer i'll much more love the fresh green or
wax beans or the shellies and they won't need to be doctored
up at all other than perhaps a bit of butter or once in a
great while a little garlic salt with the butter.

There are different recipes. I've had some that were good and some that were
not. I didn't like the last version that I made. It had cheese in it. Too
rich for me.

I think I made it once with fresh green beans and I made my own sauce. It
was good while fresh but the leftovers had soggy onions.

I have the leftovers of a tuna casserole in the fridge. It has cream of
mushroom soup in it. I don't always soup when I make it. Even as a kid, I
sometimes made my own sauce.

I did go through a phase of using cream of cack soups a lot. There was some
commercial on TV showing a woman using the soup with chicken in a skillet.
My then BF (later my husband) asked me to make it. For months I made meat in
a skillet or oven with the cream soups until I could stand no more. I was a
vegetarian at the time so never tried any of the dishes, but they looked and
smelled horrible. Never again.

I think it depends on where you live. In the late 70's and early 80's, Tater
Tot casserole was the big thing at pot lucks. Other than that, casseroles
were never common here and pot lucks seem to have gone the way of the wind.

In some part of the country (MN?) casseroles are called hot dish and still
common.

One in a while, I'll do a ground beef or leftover roast beef and potato
thing, but never with cheese or a cream soup. I use gravy.

Commercially canned green beans. Even in your hinterlands, the canner
puts their name on the label.

I wish I could get shellies. Loved those as a child. Can't get them here
now.

Although it sounds good enough, I've never had it. I wouldn't mind
trying some if someone else made it but never been interested in making
it myself. I like green beans with a little gravy fine.

Same with the traditional sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on
top. I prefer plain sweet potatoes with butter.

There's no such thing as string beans... the correct term is stringed
beans, as in removing the string from green beans left too long on the
vine... break the stem end and pull down, you'll see the string...
removing green bean strings was a chore relegated to the youngsters in
the family. I haven't seen s product labeled string beans at market
yet. Sometimes skinny flat chested women are refered to as string
beans... or Boney Maronies. hehe

in the freezer section of the grocers they often have
lima beans that are likely frozen at the shelly stage.

we grow most of the shelly beans here that we eat except
in the winter months. i freeze some, but there is never
enough freezer space for enough to get us far through the
winter. i'd rather use the freezer space for strawberry
freezer jam and strawberries for shortcakes anyways.

I would not make it for myself and be stuck with leftovers, but it is
surprisingly good.

I remember having that when I was a kid and it turned me off sweet
potatoes. I tried it again at friend's place when I was in my 30s and it
turned me off them for another 20 years. Lately I have been eating them
a lot and enjoying them, usually roasted or oven fried.

I like sweet potatoes baked until the sugary syrup is oozing out,
eaten with their jackets needs nothing else.

Not related though Julie. You removed 3 ingredients of a 4 ingredient
recipe and added 2 new ones.

we normally just microwave them. if the skin is in
good condition i'll eat the skin too except for the ends
which have more fibers in them and often don't taste all
that great.

i prefer sweet potatoes over any other potato i've
ever had - they sure have a lot more nutrients and
flavor.

I often cut them up to chunks, toss in a little olive oil and roast
along a meat roast or other veggies. Works well with butternut squash
too.

I despise the casserole with marshmallows.
