Happy Thanksgiving! My green bean casserole recipe.

I am not a fan of the traditional cream of mushroom soup/ french fried onion based green bean casserole. And as much as it breaks my dads heart I will continue to dislike it. I found this recipe years ago online and I have been making it every holiday ever since because it is always requested.
If you try it and don't like it don't hold me accountable. Everyone I have ever made this dish for rants and raves about it, including those who do like the traditional green bean casserole.

Best Ever Green Bean Casserole
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 cup sour cream
3 (14.5 ounce) cans French style green beans, drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups crumbled buttery round crackers (Ritz)
3 tablespoon butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F  

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until onions are cooked and translucent.

Stir in flour, salt and sugar until smooth, and cook for one minute.
 
Add sour cream and green beans, and stir to coat.

Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese over the top.

In a small bowl, toss together cracker crumbs and remaining butter, and sprinkle over the cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Enjoy!

*Cries* Broke a front tooth. Have you ever?

So I broke one of my front teeth the other day and pretty much freaked out. I don't have the money to go to a dentist right now, so what am I supposed to do? It's not noticeable at all yet but I know it will get worse if I don't go and get it fixed soon. While I was freaking out I jumped online and started looking for people with horrible teeth so I don't feel so bad. Here's some of what I found...




So I guess I will singing all I want for Christmas is my front tooth fixed just so I don't end up like some of these people. I'm not trying to make fun of people with bad teeth. I just don't feel so bad now after looking at these pictures.

If you still think you have bad teeth check this out. There is a whole website dedicated to people who have bad teeth.

National Happy Hour
On Sept. 29, Anheuser-Busch will host the "Budweiser National Happy Hour," a bid by Bud to nudge folks to at least try a free brewski. The free samples for those 21 and up range from 6 ounces to 12 ounces, depending on state and local rules.

Drink responsibly.

The hype culminates on Sept. 29, when the brand hosts the "Budweiser National Happy Hour," a bid by Bud to nudge folks to at least try a free brewski. The free samples for those 21 and up range from 6 ounces to 12 ounces, depending on state and local rules.

How he hopes to win 'em back:

•Sampling. A-B will hand out 500,000 samples by mid-October. "When we get the trial, we find we have a positive result," Peacock says.


POSSIBLY MORE FREE BEER!?
the usatoday link states they plan to partner with Facebook to offer those turning age 22 and up can get a free beer on birthdays, so keep an eye on that. I provided the Budweiser Facebook link below.

Budweiser will hand out 500,000 samples by mid-October. Budweiser can't say, under some state and local laws, where the promotions will be. So people have had to call distributors and local bars and post queries on Facebook to find out when and where the free beer will be.
