Just straight up wrong fam. Them bitches get all crispy an shit when you cook em right and the seasoning can make even the most stubborn forget they’re eating something with “green” in the name.
I think it really depends on preparation. It’s one of those dishes that varies wildly in how good it is based on a few simple things. Canned green beans? The casserole can’t be saved, green beans are one of the worst foods to buy canned that a lot of people still do. Frozen green beans? You can make it good, but you’ve gotta do some doing. Fresh green beans? Even a mid recipe will be pretty dang good, but then you get it good and crispy and maybe you upgrade to a homemade cream of mushroom, and yeah it can steal the show. But people use canned green beans because nobody really likes it and it’s just there to be a traditional vegetable option and so they don’t know how little effort it needs to be drastically better.
There is an art to preparing vegetables - a greenbean side could be done up in a fancy fat (butter at least), salt, and a good sauté, but if they dumped factory canned ‘beans in water’ into a saucer, heat, and serve as a dish? That’s basically a slap in the face.
The worst dish for Thanksgiving and any other day of the year, change my mind.

This got some “broccoli is gross” vibes

Green bean casserole is one of my top 3 favorite thanksgiving dishes since first trying it a few years ago, and I use canned French cut green beans
Facts
I used to hate it, then one year someone brought raw greenbeans. no salt, no ham, nothing. just raw dogging greenbeans.
I hate greenbeans.
I’ll take overly cooked greenbeans that taste like soup and onions any day now.
Why did they want to hurt you?
