My parents awakened my unbreakable will by trying to get me to eat the nasty things.
I'm the opposite--green beans are my favorite vegetable. Although I prefer them flavored with some kind of pork.
cheesegrits, I'm with you on the beets (but I suspect we'd disagree on many other dishes--I despise both cheese and grits).

GeorgeairNever a fan.
Then my new SIL whipped this up a year ago for Christmas. Made homemade cream of mushroom soup, then sautéed a bunch of varied fresh beans, sautéed some onions and who knows what else, put it all together and it was INCREDIBLE!
Granted, he had about $10 and an hour plus in the prep, but it was not your mom's crank-and-plop casserole!

I love cheese, grits, and cheese grits. And green bean casserole. I tolerate beets if I gotta (beats... being hungry), but they taste like dirt. Rutabagas too.

Like Anthony Bourdain, I love eating high brow and low brow food. Extreme examples, I can eat at The French Laundry in Napa (6 years ago, insanely good) or Spagos in Beverly Hills, but I also don't mind the occasional McDonalds or Dominos. And I like a decently made green bean casserole (frozen or fresh beans) during Thanksgiving. It all tastes good to me.

After nearly 24k posts?
Back to topic, I like just about any casserole including green bean.

RHINOWSOAte this and the other staple casseroles of the mid-west throughout my youth.
Thankful that I haven’t had to eat them in many many years.

lkdr1989I enjoy green bean casserole, especially if there's bunch of grated good cheddar on top....I absolutely despise beets.

NavyGuyA staple at our Thanksgiving meal. I pass. Most dishes made with canned ingredients are disgusting to me not to mention the usually high sodium content. And although I like sweet potatoes baked, the casserole with marshmallows on top never sees my dinner plate.
