GREEN BEAN-MUSHROOM CASSEROLE (BY PAULA DEEN)

Green Bean-Mushroom Casserole (By Paula Deen) image

This is a highly rated recipe from Paula Deen of the Food Channel and worth making! I have tweaked it slightly and doubled the complete amounts to suit our tastes --- Paula has a house seasoning blend mix which is 1/2 cup salt mixed with 2 tablespoons black pepper and 2 tablespoons garlic powder, she uses a small amount in this casserole, you have the option of omitting the fresh garlic and adding it in, store the remaining mix in an air tight container for up to 6 months, I strongly recommend using low-sodium cream of mushroom soup

This recipe is from Paula Deen's show on Food TV. It looked like the perfect thing for Christmas dinner. It worked out great because I was able to blanch and bundle them and have them all ready to pop in the oven in advance. They looked as yummy as they were. Highly recommended!

Tips:

Fresh is best: Use fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh green beans, frozen green beans will also work.
Trim the beans: Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
Blanch the beans: Blanching the green beans before cooking will help them retain their color and nutrients.
Don't overcook the beans: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Season to taste: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
