The one thing I would do differently next time it’s maybe only blanch the green beans, because I personally like them a bit crunchier than they came out. This one was unreal: the flavors and the creaminess are delish, it reheats well and even tastes good cold.
I wanted a green bean casserole recipe that did not involve canned beans or canned soup. Turned out perfect! Well - pandemic perfect! Skipped the parmesan and cut the fat in 1/2. No fresh green beans so used 2 bags of french cut frozen. Suspicious the reviews were so low and couldn’t find a pandemic can of mushroom soup anywhere so tried this. My whole family loves asparagus as well as most of my friends. What a great recipe! I am looking forward to making this and may make one slight ingredient change-fresh asparagus (either with or without the green beans). Maybe more an issue with the dish than the recipe but we'll probably skip this for Thanksgiving going forward. It was honestly easy and so much better than canned soup versionįirst time making green bean casserole and I found the flavor bland and the texture soggy. I added a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and because I didn't have any parmesan, I used a hard cheese I had on hand. I used a mix of mushrooms - portabella, oyster, and shitake, and salted and peppered them as they cooked. Highly recommend this recipe!īest green bean casserole ever the family loved it and wants it again. It was simple yet tasty for someone who doesn’t cook as much. This recipe is really good! I made it this Thanksgiving and my whole family enjoyed it. You want to taste the béchamel sauce and make sure it doesn't taste bland before you pour the sauce on top of the green beans Remember to season generously on the béchamel sauce and only season after you put in parmesan sauce, since parmesan cheese already carries a little bit of salt. Since no salt will be added directly to green beans you want to make sure the green beans have some salt on before they get mixed with the mushroom and the sauce.Ģ. Remember to use salt water to boil green beans. If food comes out bland I can probably think of a couple of reasons:ġ. I made it twice this year and both times the dish was empty before the end of the night! I love the flavor of sautéed mushroom and the idea of using béchamel sauce instead of mushroom soup was genius. One guest said whatever you did to these greenbeans i want more and the recipe, my husband's wants a repeat for Christmas. I made this for our guests at Thanksgiving they noticed the flavors at first bite. It's a great recipe and one I will keep coming back to.Īmazing! I used wild mushrooms and could hardly stop tasting before baking this dish. If you don't have dried onions, you can caramelise onions and use them instead. This is worth the time and effort even in the Spring. While many a casserole dish can be made ahead of time, this one is best made the day of, so plan accordingly and use the bake time to work on other classic holiday side dishes, like mashed potatoes, and putting the finishing touches on a savory sweet potato casserole. Chris’s recipe also calls for fresh green beans instead of canned to maintain a crisp-tender (never mushy) texture.Īs for the crunchy finish on top of the bean mixture that everyone is vying for at the Thanksgiving table? You can make your own with fried shallots, but those bottled crispy fried onions from French’s are famous for a reason: They are astonishingly delicious and practically define this recipe, so we didn’t mess with them here. Well-browned mushrooms are crucial for building flavor here, so make sure not to salt them until they’ve reached a dark brown hue ( salting them too soon will lead to soggy, steamed ’shrooms instead). He swapped out Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup for fresh, sliced criminis and a béchamel finished with Parmesan, which captures the intensity of just-seared mushrooms as well as all the umami potential of the nutty aged cheese. In 2016, our own Chris Morocco set out to develop his version of the ideal homemade green bean casserole recipe. There are many variations of this perfect side dish out there, including ones made with canned soup and canned green beans, some made in slow cookers, those finished with cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs, and, of course, the one known as French’s Green Bean Casserole, which is topped with the brand’s signature Crispy Fried Onions. According to Campbell’s Soup Company, which is responsible for the original recipe, it’s served at 20 million tables every year. For many, no Thanksgiving is complete without a classic green bean casserole.
