Funny how some of this is going....I didn't see where she asked if anyone liked it or not...just for some cool recipes.

In any event, I make mine with the canned FRENCH style green beans...and I use Cream of Broccoli soup!!

It is yummy and the kids LOVE it!!

That's cute! I'm going to start calling it messy beans - maybe my 5 year old would eat it then. My 3 year old loves it!

Kelli - I just use can green beans, cream of mushroom soup and french fried onions - I think it's what's on the Campbell's soup can but I just wing it LOL!

I will try...I honestly do it from memory....

Depending on how much you want to make....I use TWO cans of French style Green Beans for every ONE can of Cream of Broccoli Soup.

Just drain the beans, and mix with the soup. Spead out in your casserole dish and put some of those Fried Onions on top....Bake at 350 for 20-25 Min. covered with foil...the last 5 min, remove the foil so that the onions are crispy!!

Simple!!

There's no rule that people cannot ever expand on the topic.

True, you are correct....I just thought it was odd...a debate in the Kitchen...

Who knew Green Bean Casserole could be so controversial!!

I was asked to make green bean casserole for Thanksgiving this year, but I was suspiciously disinvited after I asked if I would get kicked out of the family if I didn't use cream of mushroom soup. No, seriously. I am now making Jello Jigglers.


INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 cup sour cream
3 (14.5 ounce) cans French style green beans, drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crumbled buttery round crackers
1 tablespoon butter, melted


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in
flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the salt, sugar,
onion, and sour cream. Add green beans, and stir to coat.
Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded
cheese over the top. In a small bowl, toss together cracker crumbs and
remaining butter, and sprinkle over the cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden
and cheese is bubbly.

I LOVE green bean casseroles! So yummy!

I haven't made one in years as my DH has found a recipe that layers everything and it is the best - so he makes them. I think I'll take a look at the one with cornflakes though . . . When I did make them I just followed the Campbells recipe.

Ok, I don't think I ever had this as a kid. For some reason, I thought it would be very yummy. I tried some made by a cousin and thought it was very yucky. But I think it may have been the onions on topp that made it taste that way. I love onions, but not so sure on those crunchy ones.
Swishina, your recipe sounds yummy.
Oh, and although I always serve fresh or frozen green beans in general, I think canned beans are probably best for this. Especially the french style beans.
