I love green beans and I love mushroom soup, but the two should never mix.  Ever.
Agreed.  It's an unholy alliance.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

On Fox 26 this morning they showed cooking smothered green beans.

Starting with browning a mess of sliced smoked sausage.

Then adding a good layer of 1 inch or so chunked potatoes.

After the potatoes were done, piling on around a pound of green beans.

Add some water to steam and spice with  Tony Chachere.

The tv was on in the background. I may have missed some.

Like onion and garlic.

Meh, all you need is bacon, salt and pepper.

I totally agree.

During cooking leave a pan of beer on the grill over one of the burners.  Refill as necessary during the entire cooking.

Riiiight... Pour half a can into the pan... What do you do with the rest?
15min later... pour an eighth of a can in to refill... What do you do with the rest?
Rinse repeat for hours...

Come out and see how I am doing...
Passed out on the ground and the grill burned down to nothing.
Happy friggin Thanksgiving...

LOL  Lucky for everyone I hate beer.  I got one of those huge cans of Fosters to use; I think it's like a half a keg or something.   :laugh:
