Ack.
So for some reason I got it into my head that I didn't have to cook the green beans before I put them in the casserole dish. I have no idea why I thought that. Last time I made this recipe I did it with fresh green beans, and I certainly cooked THEM before I mixed them with the soup mix etc. I know that frozen green beans are frozen before the beans are cooked. I guess I'm just dumb. :-P
Anyway, I'm baking the casserole now and hoping that eventually the beans will BAKE-cook, given enough time. I mean, when I cook potatoes, I often boil them before doing something else to them, but it's also possible to roast potatoes (without added water) and have them be cooked eventually. So far, 45 minutes and the beans are NOT cooked. They are no longer frozen, but it's hard to stick a fork through one and biting into it is a bit like biting into a briefly stir fried bean. *Puts casserole dish back into oven and crosses fingers*
