Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds fresh French green beans, ends trimmed
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped Vidalia onion
4 ounces baby portobello mushrooms, cleaned and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups corn cereal (recommended: Corn Flakes)
1/2 pound grated mozzarella cheese

Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute about 3 to 5 minutes.

Toss to coat. Spread the green beans over the bottom of a 9-inch casserole dish. Pour all of the mushroom sauce mixture over the beans and top with the grated cheese. Sprinkle with the buttered cereal flakes and bake in the preheated 400 degree F oven, until light golden brown and bubbly, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

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.

SOUR CREAM GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



Sour Cream Green Bean Casserole image

This recipe was given to me as a wedding gift 22 years ago. I have made it every year since for Thanksgiving and Christmas, although it is wonderful throughout the year. It is different from the traditional mushroom soup green bean casserole, using a sour cream base instead.

Provided by oboemom

Categories     Greens

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans green beans
1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 dash pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup Durkee onions

Steps:

  • Cook green beans and drain well.
  • Combine butter, flour, salt, pepper, onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and sour cream in a medium sized bowl.
  • Mix lightly with green beans.
  • Place mixture in lightly greased casserole. Top with grated cheese; sprinkle with Durkee onlons.
  • Bake at 400 degrees or until cheese is bubbly. (Watch the onions that they don't start to get too brown; cover with a loose tent of foil if they get brown too quickly).

Tips

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned beans. 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 will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality sour cream: The sour cream you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Use a full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese you use will also add flavor to the casserole. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make sour cream green bean casserole. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a recipe that you love.

Conclusion

Sour cream green bean casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for potlucks, holiday meals, and weeknight dinners. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your casserole cheesy, creamy, or crunchy, there is a recipe out there that you will love.
