FRENCH'S GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE W/A LITTLE TWIST!
This recipe uses the base "French's Green Bean Casserole" with a few little additions from me which according to my friends makes this the best Green Bean Casserole ever! They never knew that this was even close to the French's recipe! There are only a few minor differences, but it does give this classic a great twist! I made this for the Thanksgiving that my friends and I have about a week after the traditional Thanksgiving. We normally spend that with our families so this is for our Thanksgiving where we can drink and gossip :)

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the stem end of each bean by snapping it off. You can also trim the other end of the bean if it is tough or woody.
- Blanch the green beans. This process helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Season the green beans. Once the beans are blanched, you can season them to your liking. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the green beans. You can cook the green beans in a variety of ways, including sautéing, steaming, roasting, or grilling. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
Conclusion:
Green beans are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. With a little creativity, you can easily turn this simple ingredient into a tasty and satisfying meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give one of these green bean recipes a try!
