All my life, I’ve had a torrid love affair with…cream of mushroom soup. I love it – I love it on potatoes, rice, gravies, vegetables, meats – I. Love. It. I always have 4 cans of 99% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom on hand for any occasion…it’s a Top Ten pantry staple. So…naturally one of my all time favorite Thanksgiving dishes is a classic Green Bean Casserole – oh, the anticipation!
A few years ago – my cooking school buddy at the time, Louisiana native, Mrs. Stella Robider – shared her family’s recipe with me – and I was hooked. Since Thanksgiving is no time to save on calories – she goes all out – adding cheese and bacon – and in true Cajun style, a generous helping of her own personal seasoning – Darn Good Seasoning!
I love mushrooms – so, I added in a can of sliced mushrooms along side her recipe and it’s just perfect…no Thanksgiving table is complete without it! Bon Appetite!
Happy Cooking!

Too bad I don’t have a whistling skillet. Therefore, I can’t even attempt this recipe. You should have made an alternate recipe, telling people how to bake this in a normal pan. We don’t all go to cooking school like you and your friend.
