Green bean casserole used to be something I tolerated, but never got super excited about. It was one of those recipes created by a food manufacturer (specifically Campbell's) to promote the sale of their products. When's the last time you thought to yourself, "I've got to have me some cream of mushroom soup for lunch?". Who the heck eats cream of mushroom soup unless it's added to casserole? Nobody.

After last week's recipe, you already know what I think about soup from a can. Green bean casserole is born of nothing but food from cans - green beans from a can, fried onions from a can, and a solid gelatinous mass that some call soup from a can. Loaded with preservatives and sucked dry of any nutritional value, it really is a culinary nightmare.
