ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE FROM SCRATCH



Absolutely Delicious Green Bean Casserole from Scratch image

No cans here! Fresh mushrooms, onion, and herbs with frozen green beans, sour cream, and cheddar cheese make this a delightfully tasty twist on the traditional casserole. I developed this recipe, longing for a 'no cans' version of the classic dish. I made this one year for my husband's family at Christmas time, and now they ask for it every year! My husband asks me to make it for dinner throughout the year.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (12 ounce) packages frozen French cut green beans
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
½ cup milk
1 cup sour cream
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (2.8 ounce) can canned French fried onions

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place green beans into a saucepan and fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and steam until beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended, then mix in the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, so that no lumps form and then stir in sour cream. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Dump in the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat.
  • Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions, saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans, drained
1 1/3 cups French-fried onions (French's)

Steps:

  • Combine soup, milk and pepper in a 1 1/2 qt baking dish; stir until blended.
  • Stir in beans and 2/3 cup fried onions.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until hot.
  • Stir.
  • Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup fried onions.
  • Bake 5 more minutes or until onions are golden.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a better flavor and texture than canned or frozen beans. If you must use canned or frozen beans, rinse them well before using.
  • Cook the green beans properly: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is essential for a good green bean casserole. You can use a canned cream of mushroom soup, a homemade cream sauce, or even a sour cream-based sauce.
  • Add some crunchy toppings: Crunchy toppings, such as fried onions, chopped nuts, or bread crumbs, add texture and flavor to green bean casserole. Use one or more of these toppings to add a personal touch to your dish.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season your green bean casserole with salt and pepper. You may also want to add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Green bean casserole is a classic holiday dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious green bean casserole that will be the star of your holiday table.
