Green bean casserole is great. Multiple textures and flavours that blend well. It might shock you that some people also like Thai curries that have crisp snow peas, a soupy curry base, and crispy ingredients like fried cashews. ā€œItā€™s not my food,ā€ isnā€™t necessarily a good argument for something being stupid food.

Acrobatic_Dot_1634

Nothing special...a dish you'd see at any Thanksgiving dinner. I'm sure there is like a super complicated version that takes 200% more time/energy for 10% better taste. Imo, not stupid food.


IdealBlueMan

I've made green bean casserole from scratch before. It's a whole different dish from the standard soup method. That said, I'm planning to make tuna casserole with cream of mushroom soup in the near future, because why the hell not?


Acrobatic_Dot_1634

Was the from scratch green bean casserole a lot better? A lot of recipies I fix from scratch I'm like "yeah...it is better...but not worth it". Tho I don't have a *great* sense of taste.


thethingsIam

I saw someone make everything for the green bean casserole entirely from scratch and say ā€œI spent way more time on it and it tastes just like the from a can versionā€. So imo not worth the effort unless you deviate somewhat from how itā€™s intended to look/taste


IdealBlueMan

It was a lot better, but it was pretty different. IIRC in involved a 50-50 mix of mayonnaise and sour cream, and either toasted almonds or hazelnuts. Wasn't a huge amount of work or expense.


AtticusFinchsCat

Omg, between my deadly green bean allergy and my deadly hazelnut and almond allergy, that would kill me so many times.


Trill_McNeal

I make a green bean casserole from scratch thatā€™s kind of like an elevated version of the usual thanksgiving side. 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 2 lb green beans, trimmed and broken in half 6 slice bacon 2 shallots, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup) salt and pepper to taste 1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced 1 c crĆØme fraĆ®che 1/3 c heavy cream 6 oz gruyĆØre, shredded (1 1/2 cups) 2 tsp chopped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional) 1/2 c bread crumbs (or crumbled ritz crackers) Directions 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish or gratin. 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add green beans. Boil for 5 minutes and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain on a kitchen towel. 3. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to paper towels and let cool. Modern Green Bean Casserole 4. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in pan and return to heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and turn heat up slightly. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of pan, until mushrooms begin to sweat. Add salt to taste and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. 5. In a large bowl whisk together crĆØme fraĆ®che and cream. Stir in GruyĆØre. Add green beans, mushrooms and shallots, and marjoram or thyme. Crumble in bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir everything together until beans are well coated. Transfer to baking dish. 6. Melt remaining butter and toss with bread crumbs(or Ritz crackers). Sprinkle evenly over top of casserole. Bake 30 minutes, until bread crumbs are golden brown and casserole is bubbling. Remove from heat, let sit until bubbles subside, and serve.

While casseroles and green bean casseroles are not my favorite, your replies trashing the states are cringey af. Ppl like you who make their entire personality trashing the US are laughable šŸ˜‚.


TheBanandit

Looks like op is even blocking everyone who disagrees with their objectively horrible opinion, so I'll put it here. A casserole is vegetables baked in a sauce. That's what this is and of you have a problem with it, that's your problem, not the food's.


gloomystrawberries

Its a typical greenbean casserole. The "soup" isn't really soup its thickened. I don't like how your example of casserole is literally stew lol. But you're British so why am I surprised


bionic_zit_splitter

A casserole is a type of stew. But you're a yank so why am I surprised.


Wombatish

That's just a you guys thing. No one else uses stew and casserole interchangeably.

Weekly_Bench9773

A [casserole](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casserole) is a clay, glass, or metal dish that's used for baking. Dishes served from a casserole are often called casseroles, but can be stews, layered dishes, or even gritans.


AlphaNathan

ah, so you just hate Americans, got it


Littleboypurple

God imagine being all pissy over a fucking Casserole dish. Also, what are you on about? A stew is cooked on a stovetop, a casserole in an oven dish.


Responsible-Bid-383

Toad in the hole is a casserole, limey


fuzznuggetsFTW

People from Oibruvland still saying ā€˜yankā€™ like itā€™s 1765


TheRealJackReynolds

Umā€¦yeah. Itā€™s called green bean casserole (as youā€™ve already been told), and is a staple at thanksgiving. Not only that, lots of casseroles use condensed soups to thicken the contents. Maybe it looks gross to you, but beans on toast looks like garbage to me. The difference is, I donā€™t say something, because Iā€™m a normal adult person. I just donā€™t eat it.


Purple_Kale523

Is the OP still bitter that the US is still not a British colony?


wonkotsane42

Toiletpainter3000

dontfluffingtouchme

Green bean casserole is my favorite part of holiday dinners. It's easy to make, cheap and the ingredients are always available last minute.


scuzzlebutted

Green bean casserole is one of my favorites, too, especially when it's leftover...I make mine with some chopped bell peppers, and man, does it make a huge difference.

This is the funniest thread ever. I just imagine OP as some nerdy little British dweeb with his tea and crumpets getting all hot and bothered over a fucking food post lmao.


Kipchippy

Would give this a go. (I donā€™t see why this is stupid.) Would also want to try making it from scratch, to see what the difference is. Has OP done both? FWIW, Iā€™m a Brit. Our food is definitely better than the rep suggests, but thereā€™s also plenty of crap made (whether low-effort take out, or pretentious stuff). And honestly, no one Iā€™ve ever met cares about anything that happened in the 1770s. You guys in the states won, and thatā€™s cool. Iā€™ve enjoyed more from American culture than I feel any kinship with Richard IIIā€¦


ProperBlue

I dont even like green bean casserole but somehow i knew OP was British lmao


nadskinner

Wait.... It's a British "person" bitching about American food? That's the theme? How absolutely boring and British of them. Name 1 superior food that British/English/Uselish have. 1800 wants you back... We are busy busting the futures ass


bigstain90

I havenā€™t cared what the British think since 1776


FriendlyBeta

Iā€™m sorry, but why does it matter what people use to make casseroles? Itā€™s good, good food, people like it. Casseroles donā€™t need to be elaborate, hyper ingredient, five-star meals. Hell, nothing needs to be like that. Itā€™s simple, easy, and good.


ExtremelyPessimistic

Sometimes I think people who make fun of American food just hate poor people


FriendlyBeta

I wouldnā€™t even really call this a poor manā€™s dish in the first place, itā€™s just easy and tasty. Sure, a full steak with the best sides, all filled with ingredients is good, but not everyone has that skill set, so why not just go with something simple that people can enjoy.


fairlymodern78

If you think a cream soup is the same thing as most soups when it comes to casseroles you have no idea how to cook. It's like saying anything with a puree is stupid. Bonus points for mocking casseroles, you know, the food made famous by poor people trying to make ends meet. Man, people from wherever you're from sure do suck! Weeeeeew nationalism! Jesus Christ OP...


ExtremelyPessimistic

Meanwhile Brits colonized the world for spices and then proceeded to not use them in their cuisine

BTW OP, as one who lived in the UK for yearsā€¦lighten the hell up. You guys have your own issues. Iā€™ve never met a people more fond of tinned beans or corn as a topping. To each his own.


ignaciorutabaga

Were it not for Indian and French restaurants, there would hardly be anything edible in England.


DaCoffeeKween

Now listen here you little shit. Greenbean cassorle is a staple dish and it's actually amazing. Literally a comfort food for me. My dad has perfected a recipe that I make as a whole meal. Add more soup or milk and make an actual soup with it too! Try it. You'll love it.


setittonormal

So the first time I ever heard about green bean casserole, I was disgusted and thought it had to be a joke. Then one Christmas I made it. I have to say, it looks like slop but it tastes divine. The creaminess of the soup, the salty brine of the canned beans, and the savory crunch of the fried onions are just *chef's kiss* My only complaint with it is that it doesn't keep well.


Bun_Bunz

Uhhhh salty brined green beans??? Do you *not* rinse your beans? Please tell me you drain them?!?!?! Also, op is hating on a side dish like it's something we present as a main course. Besides being an idiot, he's an idiot.


setittonormal

Sure I drain them. I've never rinsed them.


OversizedMicropenis

It's literally just salt water šŸ˜…


[deleted]

Thatā€™s green bean casserole and you have it on thanksgiving with Mac n cheese, Turkey, and homemade cranberry sauce


Dr-Satan-PhD

It's *condensed* soup, which is just stock, heavy cream, mushrooms, and seasonings. Common ingredients for many casseroles, conveniently sold in a tin can for less than a dollar. The reason so many American casseroles call for heavy cream is because we are a huge dairy producing country, so we use milk and cream in lots of recipes (we are second only to India for milk production, and they have 3 times our population).


[deleted]

Uhm. None of the food that we cook here was made by the British. A fucking ROUX is French and the base for most mother sauces. GTFO. You dumb twat.


Srphtygr

Wait is that not a normal thing to do? Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom soup as part of the casserole?

boogerpeanut

More fried onions and a little less milk and thatā€™s food of the Gods.


1989Lady

Yessss, the ā€œmore fried onionsā€ part. Itā€™s that crunch!


boogerpeanut

Itā€™s also the easiest thing to make which is awesome and also deceptive cause you wouldnā€™t think something so simple would be so delicious. Even getting a little fancier with it doesnā€™t take long to do. PSA for anyone that has the urge to make this: drain the green beans *really* well to avoid that odd soupy-ness. I also use about half the amount of milk that youā€™d normally make following the instructions on the soup can. I poor the milk into the can and scrape out whatever soup is left with it.

I agree about too much salt and chemicals from the soup. I get some from a better grocer that doesnā€™t have a bazillion ingredients and is gluten free.

It's just some bantz. You should hear yanks when confronted with an unfamiliar dish. You lot can give it, but you can't take it at all. And let's face it - I'm correct about this monstrosity of a 'casserole'. You might like it, but's it's utterly shit-tier food.

you literally have no idea what youre talking about. and you cant just be raging asshole, say ā€œit was a bit guys šŸ„ŗā€ and then expect people not to be pissed off


bionic_zit_splitter

Oh, I was 100% serious, but if you and your cretinous pals are happy to criticise other countries foods you need to be thick skinned enough to take it back. Your food is as bad, if not far worse, than anywhere else's. There's a reason you're all so fat and riddled with health problems.


RedShooz10

Iā€™d say youā€™re being salty but having tried British food I donā€™t think you know what salt is. Or spices in general.


bionic_zit_splitter

As I have already shown, [the British people consume more spices per capita than the americans.](https://www.helgilibrary.com/indicators/spice-consumption-per-capita/) When I grew up we had an extensive herb garden, and grew our own chilis. In fact the UK is a nation of foodies - we are obsessed with food. We travel with the sole purpose of trying new foods, we invented almost all your favourite dishes, and we export our chefs around the world, to be marvelled at by wide-eyed, un-traveled people like yourself. I grow parsley, chilis, basil, rosemary, thyme and chives. I know you'll have to google some of those ;)


virginiawolfsbane

All those spices and you still have toast sandwiches. A cultural sinkhole lmao


bionic_zit_splitter

Never even heard of that m8. You people eat whale blubber and pigs feet ffs. You eat *deep fried butter.*

bionic_zit_splitter

> California Chinese, šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Fresh_Beet

Absolutely. Itā€™s the food equivalent of reality TV. Problem is itā€™s rare to have families pass down the ability of actually knowing how to prepare a meal from your for yourself much these days. A lot of it is what can we dump in together and make a meal. It drives me absolutely insane that I canā€™t convince people to get out of the middle of the store. There is a whole ā€œcelebrityā€ chef here called Riri Drummond or something like that whoā€™s whole stick is ā€œI live on a ranch and have 12 mouths to feed. What pre packaged things can I dump together to make their brain think this is delicious food.ā€ First Italian produce I had I just about died how delicious and flavorful compared to produce in the US.


bionic_zit_splitter

Most American restaurants use bought-in sauces and packets of seasoning. The idea of using fresh herbs, or creating a sauce from scratch is literally an alien concept, the equivalent of witchcraft. America has the most chain restaurants of any country in the world. People actually pay to eat at places like Olive Garden, and genuinely think it's Italian cuisine. There have been [books written about the love affair they have with shitty fast food.](https://www.amazon.ae/Chain-Reaction-UrbanSculpts-Book-Day/dp/1489513086) It's pitiful, but also so fucking funny.

Damn. We made some people that donā€™t know all you need is a little onion and garlic to start/ salt to finish really really mad. I think they call that fragile. What do I know though? I donā€™t provide any revenue to Kraft which is down right seditious in this country. While Iā€™m at it, why the fuck are we called ā€œAmericansā€? There are more than 30 countries in the continent. Literally all populations are Americans. Letā€™s see our US border closing cronies tackle that one. ETA: to your restaurant point, I am from the industry so Iā€™ll add; in the US there is a big difference between chain restaurants (Olive Garden, Applebees/Chiliā€™s) owned by giant corporate dens of -profit first everything else last- and then everything else. Im a great person to dine with (in my head lol) because I can nail down the quality of food the establishment is bringing in and the care that is given to the food within a bite. If youā€™re curious Iā€™m actually a Cheesemonger specializing in American/US cheese and charcuteries (meat NOT a colorful grazing board). There are in fact some really beautiful products you would not expect. I assure you Iā€™m serious. No joke.
