Green Bean Casserole?

I love green bean casserole – how about you?

I think green bean casserole has gotten a bad rap. It’s a ubiquitous Thanksgiving favorite (have you seen the commercial where every person that shows up for Thanksgiving dinner says, “We brought the green bean casserole!”?), yet it seems that everyone’s idea of what green bean casserole is is an image of a gluey casserole made by throwing a few cans of things together and baking it up.

Fresh Ingredients!

I’m not even knocking casseroles made with canned soup and green beans, but taking a little time to cook fresh green beans, sauté some onions and mushrooms, and make your own sauce is 100%worth the effort. I always include cheese in my green bean casserole (and sometimes bacon too?). Sometimes I even go so far as to fry my own onions, but I’m not going to put that on you guys.

So, I think you should forget everything that you’ve come to believe about the kitschiness of green bean casserole and try my green bean casserole from scratch!

      I can get Vidalias at my grocery store right now, but any yellow or sweet onion is fine.
