How hard can it be?  I think I mentioned a few days ago that I have volunteered to make green bean casserole for eighteen homeless women in a shelter on Monday evening.  I forgot to remember, when volunteering, that I have never made green bean casserole.  My brother used to make the green bean casserole for all of our family gatherings.  He had been refining his recipe over many years and it was delicious, but I never thought to ask him for it before he died.  Since I'm doing my grocery shopping tomorrow, I thought I'd better find a recipe.  I checked Google and several of my old cookbooks (I mean, the recipe has been around for a long time) and have found some consistencies - green beans, mushroom soup, canned onion rings.  But some add all kinds of spices, some include grated cheese, cheddar or swiss, baking time ranges from 20 minutes to an hour.  I think what I will do is check the labels on the green bean cans or the mushroom soup cans.  After all, my favorite recipe for pumpkin pie is on the Libby's cans of pumpkin.  Maybe it's on the cans of fried onions.  I mean what else do you use those onions for?  The hunt is on! It's probably good for me that I just have to drop off the casserole and leave.  I don't have to watch and see if anyone likes it.  But I'm not too concerned.  I have a theory that any veggie is improved by piling on plenty of cheese.
