My mom used to make this all the time. She would experiment with all types of food and in turn, her creations were wonderful!! Though, I do not know if this is one of her original recipes but it was handwritten in her notebook of recipes that was given to me at the time of her death.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp, they will be cooked more in the oven. Drain them and set aside. Butter a baking dish large enough to hold the green beans with 1 tablespoon butter and set aside.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Tear the bread into 2-inch pieces, put them into a bowl, and add 1 tablespoon chives, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir well to coat and spread onto a baking sheet. Bake just until the bread just starts to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream, add the remaining thyme and chives, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the green beans and stir well. Put the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, top with the croutons, and sprinkle on the remaining Parmesan. Bake until everything is hot and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Sauté the onions and mushrooms in the butter. Add the green beans, mushroom soup, onion rings, and House Seasoning to taste. Stir well. Pour into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, then top the casserole with the Cheddar and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the casserole is hot and cheese is melted.
Tips:
- Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a crisp texture and vibrant flavor that canned or frozen beans can't match. If you can't find fresh green beans, frozen beans are a good option.
- Don't overcook the green beans: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans are mushy and bland.
- Use a good quality cream of mushroom soup: The cream of mushroom soup is a key ingredient in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality soup. Look for a soup that is made with real mushrooms and has a rich, creamy flavor.
- Add some extra flavor: This casserole is delicious on its own, but you can add some extra flavor by adding some chopped onion, garlic, or celery. You can also add a teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary for a more savory flavor.
- Top with crispy onions: Crispy onions add a delicious crunch and flavor to this casserole. You can use store-bought crispy onions or make your own by frying thinly sliced onions in oil until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Dawn Hornby's Unusual Green Bean Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover green beans, and it's also a great dish to bring to a potluck or party.
