Casserole

I said a profound statement the other day:
The euphoria generated by the delight of a new recipe for a casserole with cream of mushroom soup baffles the shit out of me.
I just don't get it.
But if you use the cheap store brand soup and not the Campbell's...It just doesn't taste right.
Here's a question for the world to ponder...
Peas in or peas on the side?
There are two schools of thought there and 'ner the twain shall meet.
Don't get me started on Jello!
