Many years ago a church group I was in was planning Thanksgiving dinner for the congregation. I was assigned the green bean casserole. I didn't know what that was but when I looked it up, I was offended that they wanted me to do a recipe using canned cream of mushroom soup. I had a great, from scratch, James Beard recipe for mushroom soup but it was thickened with egg yolks, so I am sure it would curdle if used in an oven-bake recipe. i held my nose and made it anyway.
Now much later when my son asked me to make a dump recipe using canned soup, somehow it didn't bother me. He asked for it again today. Chicken thighs with mushroom soup, sour cream and dry onion soup mix... Well I say it didn't bother me but it bothers me that it doesn't bother me.
