The green bean casserole on the crispy onions container is a crowd pleaser and impossible to mess up
Yeah, if you don't want to be rude and say "bring rolls", that one is pretty failsafe.
That one gets hard for us because my MIL has a recipe for green bean casserole that's WAY better than standard, so when we want to give my wife's stepmom jobs, it's hard because we don't want to give her green bean casserole. This year we did it because we got to have the better recipe yesterday, and my wife's stepmom did the green bean casserole last Sunday.
For the record, my SIL isn't a bad cook -- she goes for the box/bag stuffing mix because her son loves it. He's a 15 yo boy with some pickiness to his eating. Whereas we made (last Sunday) a tried and true Ina Garten stuffing recipe and most people loved it but my 9 yo ate one bite and wouldn't eat more. Not everyone has the palate for the adult recipes...
