This recipe may be a little more labor intensive to make than the usual green bean casserole but it's so worth it. I love the fresh green beans and the cheese! I always use more mushrooms than called for just because I love them!

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

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms (does not have to be exactly 2 cups)
6 cups fresh green beans (ends removed and cut in half, can use more or less if desired)
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans low-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
salt (optional)
2 (2 7/8 ounce) cans French fried onion rings (such as Durkee)
1 cup grated old cheddar cheese (can use (to taste)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add in mushrooms and garlic; cook stirring until mushrooms loose their moisture then set aside.
  • Place the green beans in a medium saucepan; cover with chicken broth and bring to a boil; cook for about 8-10 minutes or until just fork-tender drain but do not rinse.
  • Butter a 3-quart casserole dish (or a little larger).
  • Place the mushroom soup, onion/mushroom mixture, Parmesan cheese, black pepper and onion rings in a large bowl; mix well to combine, add in the cooked green beans; mix to combine.
  • Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top; return to oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Tips:

  • Preparing the Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces. If using frozen green beans, thaw them according to the package instructions and drain thoroughly before using.
  • Using Canned or Frozen Cream of Mushroom Soup: If you don't have homemade cream of mushroom soup, you can use an equal amount of canned or frozen cream of mushroom soup. Just be sure to whisk the soup until smooth before adding it to the casserole.
  • Adding a Crunchy Topping: For a crispy topping, combine 1/2 cup of crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup of melted butter and sprinkle it over the casserole before baking. Alternatively, you can use fried onions or slivered almonds for a nutty flavor.
  • Baking the Casserole: Bake the casserole at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the green beans are tender. If you like a browned top, broil the casserole for a few minutes at the end of baking.
