"Sad post"? Please. Let people live as they live without judgement. Who are you to judge "sad"?

Just reduce green bean casserole in half. I'm sure you will want leftovers. Enjoy!

I make this "famous green bean casserole" (or a healthier green bean dish) every Thanksgiving.

This year we are staying home due to Covid (no regrets, just trying to stay healthy in our 70s). I will half the recipe, since DH does not eat green beans, and use a 1 quart Corningware casserole dish. In a pinch, I have purchased Green Giant frozen green bean casserole, but added more cooked green beans and seasonings.

INGREDIENTS:

4 oz 1 (16 oz.) pkg frozen French cut
green beans, thawed or 1/2 can.
¼ can 1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp ½ c. milk
¼ tsp 1 tsp. soy sauce
Shake 1/8 tsp. pepper
Scant 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/3 c 1 1/3 c. French's Fried Onions

INSTRUCTIONS:

Thaw green beans completely and drain very well.

In a mixing bowl, combine soup, milk, soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and 1/3 of the French Fried Onions. Stir until well combined.

Fold in drained green beans.

Spoon mixture into a 1/2-quart baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray.
Top with remaining French's Fried Onions.

Bake at 350℉ for about ~~35 minutes~~ until casserole is bubbling around the edges. I would try 20 mins. Test.

Measurements do not have to be exact to be great!

Enjoy your casserole! Use the other beans later for a meal.

I would probably double that (or half the larger recipe) 'cause I could eat it again, easily!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Glad you are cooking!

There will be so many people today, covid19, eating alone or without close family. Don't pay any attention to the mean posters.

I love green bean casserole. It's easy to just cut the recipe in half.

It was not meant as judgment, but sympathy if OP has to spend the day alone.

@cinderford So nice of @Zhills to provide the 1/4 recipe list for you on the left side of the Green bean Casserole she posted for you.

If you are making this for yourself for Thanksgiving are you looking for any other traditional recipe adjustments, or ideas for store bought smaller portions? Among all of us I'm sure we can help provide ideas/recipes if you need them. Let us know.

For instance, Edwards brand pie sells half pies which you can find in the freezer case. They are pretty good. I love their Key Lime pie.

Some of the supermarket in-house bakeries sell half cakes and I know Safeway chain here in DC sell generous slices of cake in those plastic shell packs. Not sure about pie.

It will just be Significant Other and I together for Thanksgiving this year; no family or grandchildren gathering even though we are all in DC. He will want the meal around noon or one. So, by late afternoon/early evening he will likely go to bed after we clean up and put the food away.

I will be up and around since I am a night owl. If you want to have a general chat, come onto Community Chat and I am certain you will find many of us to talk with at some point on Thanksgiving.

@aroc3435 What a very nice, thoughtful post. And I love Edward's Key Lime pie too and appreciate the smaller size.

@cinderford Thank you for asking the question, there have been some great and thoughtful replies and I think I have a new green bean recipe! We need to stay in touch and share what we have made.

aroc3435 — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 05:22:54 GMT

@rockygems123 Why, thank you. Holidays can be challenging for many people whether they are alone or not on those days. I know because I have been there at some low stretches of my life.

But this year has certainly been a doozy for us all. 2021 has got to be better even if there is only some sort of slow improvement on all fronts!

As to the pie I wish I had a piece to eat right now. Had a couple of mini dark chocolate Reese's cups instead. They usually do the trick, but tonight they didn't.

I'm craving something to eat, just not sure what it is, but I'll survive. Probably if I make myself a cup of tea that will do it.

Nice to "meet" you by the way. I think on a thread a while ago you said you had the Oster XL countertop Oven. I have one, too, and love it. We use it at least twice daily.

Hope your Thanksgiving goes well.

Cheers,

I haven't checked lately but our local market used to sell single slices of Edward's pies. (Super One)

@cinderford

The deli in one of the grocery stores here usually has this so I can buy as little or as much as I want. I'll be doing Tday alone this year too but will probably make a whole recipe of this cuz I love it so much. I make it several times during the year also.

I adore it and make it every year maybe about three times a year since 1981. I use the Durkee onion ring recipe on the back of the can but about four years ago I added a new ingredient. Garden Vegetable cream cheese dip. Mix in a half a container with the soup and milk and oh my word so creamy smooth. The first year I did it my DIL had the leftover for breakfast instead of our big Christmas morning breakfast.
