Alix, how about a casserole of LP's Mushroom Gratin?

I make scalloped corn in the CP that's a big hit for T'giving.
you layer all of those tiny kernels into a scallop configuration? holy cow!
Green bean casserole? I goggled and found a recipe on the Campbell's site which used condensed mushroom soup. Is this the way you do it?
Yup. That is the infamous recipe. Campbell's gave the world that recipe many years ago and now there are families that think it is a much of a part of the holiday dinner as the turkey.
"What? No green bean casserole with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup and topped with French's Onion Rings? I am leaving and never coming back!"
I think the worse ones are made with canned beans. Frozen beans are next in line. Fresh green beans are so much better, but just adds more work to a busy day.
Kayelle, thanks for the nod on my mushrooms gratin.
I know there are lots of food snobs who refuse to use any canned soups in casseroles but I'm not one of them. I'm just as comfortable using some cream soup and making my family happy as I am making a bechamel from scratch. I figure a good cook is a versatile cook.
The mushrooms gratin sounds like a winner, but sadly there are too many mushroom haters at my table. I'll save that for a night when Ken and I are eating without the kiddos.
You guys are wonderful about offering ideas. Thanks so much. Anyone got salad ideas for me?
LP, two Thanksgivings? Sounds delicious! Did you post that gluten free wild rice stuffing recipe? I work with a couple of celiacs and I need to expand my repertoire.
Addie, I'm so confused. One post seems to imply you don't like the canned soup ingredient, the next that you do. No problem here, I'm cool with whatever.
LP...You post that recipe yet?
No suggestions for desserts or salads?
I don't generally think "salad" when the weather is cooler. How about a relish tray? The old fashioned kind, no dip, just crunch veggies. Even in the summer, I'll make up a big relish platter for us to munch on instead of a salad, put it away for the next day, then chop all the last bits for a salad on the 3rd day. Celery, carrot stix, grape tomatoes, lightly raw mushrooms, pepper slices, radishes, black and green olives (with or without stuffing things) - just mix and match what you think would work....No suggestions for desserts or salads?
