UG - I just made that today for lunch! My friend used to make it for me all the time and I haven't had it for years - I missed it so I made it today. The kids wouldn't touch it!!

Freekin weirdos.

Astounding. Children that won't eat something with Tater Tots on it?? I'm floored.

What do they like? I mean, sure, all the more for you, but neither man nor woman lives by green bean casserole alone!

Ugh, I can't stand anything using cream of mushroom soup.

Brianna, why not try to make a Taco soup? Or Enchiladas :D.... I'm sure other regions (outside of the USA) have tons of dishes that use it in ways you've not considered.

I despise mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup, but MUST have the green bean casserole (with french cut green beans only and extra Durkees Fried Onions, thank you) for every major holiday, as is the tradition amongst my peoples.

I always substitute cream of celery soup whenever a recipe asks for the 'shroom version. Cream o' celery goes down very, very nicely! :)

Now, back to the Chocolate Bunny Orgy!

UG - sorry, I posted that message just before leaving town. I don't know why my kids don't like that dish. Like I said - weirdos.
They like my chicken cordon bleu, chicken parmesan, and they love my bbq food. Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, burgers...etc

When my husband is away, we make things like chicken & dumplings, corned beef & cabbage, beef stew, etc. He hates all things soupy & stewey, so that makes more for us!

Rock on! Cream of Celery makes the best green bean casserole, tuna casserole, and anything else that needs something cream of something. Cream of Chicken is good too...

Melidasaur--my v. first props on cooking! Thanks, girl!


Look. I realize it's only a cream of celery prop, but, honey, I will take all the props I can get! Shizzle!

I was gonna say cream of celery too -- and I'm filing away the cream of chicken /chicken corn chowder idea for later use. Maybe not-so-very-much-later use: I'm nursing a cold, my head is thick and a bit fuzzy, and I'm getting hungry as I write.

Seakdivers, well, at least they like BBQ -- sounds like there's hope for 'em yet! :D I mean, that, at least, is normal!

Well, Wolf, guess you'll never be a Hobbit. Or a jackalope -- they have been said to eat mushrooms... ;)

My head was thick and a bit fuzzy -- but now [pace Winston Churchill to Bessie Braddock] I am better.

How about tacos?

Totillas
Ground beef
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped onions (optional)
Shredded cheese
Salsa
Sour cream

Kids love 'em!

When living in my cabin in the woods, I would cut up an onion and a potato and fry it with the ground beef, seasoned with whatever sounded good. I usually dumped tabasco on it at some point. Then I sopped up all the fat and leftover drippings with bread.

*belch*

I didn't say it was recommended, I just said I used to do it.

Sounds yummy. Not the grease part, but the rest.

Greasy bread kicks ass.

Ground beef Shepard's pie is good. I make mine from scratch, but you can find other recipes.
