Green Beans Casserole


I become to like this dish after I make some changes. I did like it at first because the green beans had no good taste and it took away from the dish and the sauce was not flavorful. If you feel the same way about this dish...try this recipe for the Holidays and tell your family and friends you are being the Green Beans Casserole.

For the Topping:

3 cups canned fried onions (about 6 ounces)

4 slices white bread, each slices torn into quarters

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

¼ teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon paprika

1 Tablespoon parmase cheese

Pulse bread, butter, salt and pepper in food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about ten 1-second pulses. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with onions; set aside.

Green Beans cooking...

In a frying pan add three teaspoon bacon dripping



Add a cup of chopped onion


Add 1 1/2 lb fresh Green Beans


Add 2 cups chicken broth salt and pepper to taste


Cover and cook for 20 mins




 Mushroom Sauce

 4 T. olive oil

2-3 c. sliced mushrooms baby bellas

3 cloves garlic, minced

Salt, Pepper and Thyme to taste

2 T olive oil

2 T. flour

¾ c. half and half milk

½ c. vegetable broth

¼ c. white wine or cooking wine

1 pinch salt

Pepper to taste
Sauté the mushrooms and garlic in a large sauté pan in olive oil until soft.  Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Remove to a bowl.


In the same pan, heat the butter and/or olive oil on medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to form a roux.



Continue whisking for about 2 minutes. Slowly add the liquids while continuing to whisk, making sure there are no lumps. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat when the sauce is thick and stir in mushrooms.



Combine Green Beans and Mushroom Sauce together


Pour in a baking dish and add Topping Mixture

Bake in oven 250 until bubbly


You can do this recipe the old other way (But Why???).
