Yay! It looks so good! And I think your amount of onions passes my standards

maybe! I’m only 30 though. Almost 31

Most folks i know that like that type of green bean casserole are in my generation. Our 3 daughters are your age - ish, they like it OK, but don't miss it if we don't have it (none are currently fans of any green beans or veggies at all, really).

What they don't understand is why I don't like Mac & Cheese, .

Now I have an "excuse" as I'm diabetic. But part of it is i never liked made from scratch mac & cheese. So many products i "lived on" have changed. Tastes nothing like i remember... like my "beloved" Kraft Mac & Cheese - GAG now ... & now my daughters are enthralled w/ the single serves that add only water & microwave. Quadruple GAG.

Green bean casserole, made w/ cream mushroom soup, even Campbell"s, actually isn't quite the same anymore either. I figure it's changes in the way premade foods are now made as well as changes in our own tastes...

Hence, I'm experimenting w/ preparing foods from either diabetic or keto recipes or just eating seasoned whole foods... and if don't already love it, learning to.

That’s totally understandable!!! I used to love the microwaveable stuff and now I’m like LOL I do love homemade mac and cheese though. But it has to be done right.

My brothers don’t really like beans either or at least they never used to but now they’ll eat them like the green bean casserole at Thanksgiving (not this one cause they weren’t here lol) and other veggies.

I personally LOVE green bean casserole and could eat the whole tray lol

One of the things I did when we prepped it, was added spices as if it was actual Italian dish. Lite for kiddos, heavier for us. Also extra spaghetti sauce.

Garlic, oregano, Thyme. Or an Italian spice blend.

Tastes very different.

But now I purchase ingredients & make from scratch, no can.
