recipe reviews for:

Absolutely Delicious Green Bean Casserole from Scratch

“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.”

Substituted fresh green beans, skipped lemon zest and parsley, added a couple of cloves of garlic. Scrumptious!

I made this on both Thanksgiving and Christmas (different people). Followed the advice of a few others and sauteed the mushrooms with the onions. Use baby bellas instead of crimini (store didn't have them). Added a little extra salt and a dash more pepper. Used 2% cheese and reduced fat milk, and light sour cream to make it a tad healthier. No one knew the difference (although I did add more cheese than the recipe called for). For convenience sake (and from lessons learned on Thanksgiving), I baked it for about 40 minutes and the string beans were still nice and firm. This is a keeper!

I made this recipe with asparagus spears for Thanksgiving this year and it was such a hit my family said I had to make it again for Christmas.. my vegetarian daughter acutally requested her very own small cassarole so she wouldn't have to share :)

Awesome! I was in such a hurry on turkey day that I forgot to steam the green beans and it still turned out awesome! Your know a recipe is good when you screw it up and it still tastes great!
