Our Family Food Favorites: Green Bean Casserole

Green Bean Casserole

This is the recipe from the french fried onions container. We have found that we like it best without the milk. It's a bit drier and thicker.

Green Bean Casserole

2 cans green beans, drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup milk (optional)
1 can french fried onions, reserve 1/2 cup for topping

In a 1 1/2 quart casserole, stir together all ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with reserved onions. Bake another 5 minutes.

*We like to add the onions on top from the beginning and they get a little bit more crispy. We like it that way!

"Saying Grace" by Norman Rockwell

This painting was created for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post’s 1951 Thanksgiving issue. It portrays a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant while the people around them glance in their direction. Rockwell was inspired to create this artwork by a reader of the magazine who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant.

In 1955, the readers of The Saturday Evening Post voted Saying Grace as their favorite ever cover. The painting was sold for $46 million in an auction at Sotheby’s in December 2013. At that time, it set the record for the most expensive American painting ever sold at auction. The $46 million paid for Saying Grace remains the highest known price paid for a Norman Rockwell artwork.
