Green Bean Casserole
 

Does anyone have a favorite recipe for Green Bean Casserole that is made with fresh green beans instead of canned?

Nothing specific, you could just blanch your beans first then follow your recipe. I have several green bean recipes but non of them are cassaroles.

I'm sure the green bean casserole will work the same with fresh green beans, only it will taste BETTER!

I made ours last year with frozen green beans ,YUCK NEVER AGAIN

I made this one a couple of times - yummy!

That's what I was thinking too. I just thought if someone was already making a recipe like this I wouldn't have to guess the quantity of green beans, how to cook them, and how long to cook them.

I wouldn't think frozen green beans would taste very good. Glad you confirmed it.

That does sound good, I'll have to try that recipe some time, but it's not a casserole. Here is my favorite non-casserole green bean dish:


Green Bean Stir-Fry

1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Peanut Butter
¾ pound fresh Green Beans, trimmed
4-½ teaspoons Olive Oil

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds, brown sugar and peanut butter, set aside. In a large skillet, stir-fry the green beans in oil until crisp-tender. Remove from the heat. Add the sauce mixture, stir to coat. Yield: 2 servings

I love this recipe, but I don't bundle the beans.
I cook the bacon till crisp and then crumble it.
Then pour the sauce over the cooked beans and
sprinkle the bacon on top and bake for about 10 min.

Generally, the Green Bean Casserole is on the Cream of Mushroom Soup can. Here's the recipe from the can but I adjust as needed:
Green Bean Casserole
Prep: 15 min Bake: 30 min Yield: 12 servings (3/4 c. each)
2 cans (10 3/4 oz. each) Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup
1 c. milk (I use canned evaporated milk instead of homogenized)
2 tsp. soy sauce (IMHO, this is optional)
1/4 tsp. black pepper (we like pepper, so I add more than called for)
8 c. cooked cut green beans
2 2/3 c. French's Fried Onions (or any brand will work)
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees, spray 3 qt. casserole dish with Pam (my recommendation)
2. Stir soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, beans & 1 1/3 c. french fried onions in 3 qt. casserole dish
3. Bake 25 min. or until bean mixture is hot and bubbling
4. Stir bean mixture, then top with remaining french fried onions (I generally add more ff onions to top
5. Bake 5 additional minutes, or until golden brown
Optional: For more crunch, add add 1/2 c. toasted sliced almonds to onion topping
For bacon lovers, add 4 slices booked and crumbled bacon to bean mixture
For festive touch, add 1/2 c. chopped red pepper to the soup (I generally add roasted red bell pepper)
For cheese lovers, stir in 1/2 c. shredded cheese with soup and omit soy sauce, then sprinkle top of casserole with an additional 1/2 c. cheese to the top along with the french fried onions
