end cracks me up. Is this a Midwestern thing?

Reminds me of 60’s casserole dishes that were topped with canned french-fried onion rings. Not sure if this was mostly a Southern thing, but I had left that cuisine many decades ago, only to be revisited when having dinner with a childhood friend in their mansion in Atherton, CA.

Not sure what I was expecting, but it surely wasn’t a throwback side dish of green beans baked with canned mushroom soup, topped with canned onion rings. Used to love those onion rings right out of the can much to Mom’s dismay when she would discover I had raided the pantry.
