For the second year in a row Green Bean Casserole has been banned from my Sunday school class Christmas party. There has been no way of arguing with the head of the planning committee. She has unequivocally banned it.If you are a life long United Methodist you've experienced a long life of holiday pot luck suppers sporting green bean casseroles. We Methodist cooksters are pretty famous for sticking with our favorite recipes. So I can understand that some folks have had it.
I have known church party-goers in the past who've eaten so many mountains of delicious dishes like sweet potato casseroles and lemon squares until they've finally risen up and said "Enough." But I've never seen the party chairman actually ban a dish, i.e.,
"Get the green bean casserole yearning out of you system before this party because it won't be welcome here."There are all sorts of recipes for Green Bean Casserole but the best, oldest and most basic is the combination of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. milk, and green beans topped with French's French Fried Onions. It comes in at 150 calories and 8 grams of fat per serving.
Our party was Sunday night. It was fabulous.
