Green Bean Delight Recipes

SAUSAGE BEAN DELIGHT

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook and crumble sausage until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in beans; cover and cook over medium heat until beans are tender. Add sausage; heat through.

SWISS GREEN BEAN DELIGHT

Steps:

• Melt two tablespoons margarine in skillet and saute onion and celery.
• Stir in flour, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute on medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat and slowly add cream and stir until smooth.
• Cook and stir over low heat for 2 minutes until mixture is thick. DO NOT BOIL.
• Fold in green beans, and spread into greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Melt remaining margarine and toss with cornflake crumbs, mix in cheese, and sprinkle over the top of casserole.
• Bake uncovered at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until heated thoroughly.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water and set aside.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the green beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and add them to a mixing bowl.
• Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Turn the heat off and add the mixture to the bowl with the green beans. Toss until everything is creamy and thoroughly combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Top with the fried onions. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. On a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper, toss together green beans, mushrooms, sliced shallots, garlic and olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste then spread evenly on the pan. Roast until the vegetables brown in spots and soften, about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through. (Alternatively, if you want the green beans extra soft, set them on an unlined sheet pan, add 3 tablespoons water, cover with aluminum foil, and cook until the vegetables are slightly firmer than you want in the end result, about 30 to 45 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, then add the flour. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, whisking constantly until it comes together and begins to turn golden in color.
• Add heavy cream and whisk until it starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning, onion and garlic powders, chicken base, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, then add 1 1/2 cups Parmesan until melted. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• When the green beans are cooked, add them to the saucepan, and toss to coat until mixture is thoroughly heated. Transfer green bean mixture to the baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, fried shallots and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Spread evenly over the top of the casserole.
• Set the broiler to high, and broil until brown and bubbly (don't walk away!), about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
