No Cans Please Green Bean Casserole Recipes

HOMEMADE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place cooked green beans in a large bowl.
• In a deep sauté pan, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate, reserving the grease in the pan.
• Over medium heat, sauté the onions in the bacon grease for 2 to 3 minutes, or until starting to become translucent. Add mushrooms and continue to sauté until cooked. Use a slotted spoon to remove mushrooms and onions from the pan and put them in the bowl with the green beans.
• Make sauce: Add butter and garlic to the pan (with any juices remaining in pan). Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant. Add flour and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes. While whisking, pour in milk and continue to cook, whisking nearly constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add thyme and pepper, whisk to combine. Remove pan from heat and stir in cheese until melted.
• Pour cheese sauce mixture over the green beans, mushrooms, and onions in the bowl. Add cooked bacon and stir until everything is well coated.
• Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle on french fried onions.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until casserole is heated through and onions are golden brown.

NOT YOUR MAMA'S GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme and sage and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 5 more minutes. Next add the sherry and stir until thickened. Add the cream and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Set sauce aside. (Recipe can be made to this point up to 2 days before, refrigerated.)
• Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beans, toss to coat with the butter and saute until bright green, about 7 minutes. They'll still be crispy. Season with salt and pepper and place on a platter.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and spoon over the beans. Top with the frizzled leeks.
• Heat a couple inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a large, heavy pot. To check the oil temperature, drop a bread cube into it. If the cube browns within 30 seconds the oil is hot enough.
• Trim leek, slice in half lengthwise, and wash well under running water. Cut the root end off the leek and then cut each half lengthwise into long, thin strips.
• Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge leek strips in flour. Fry leeks for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place green beans into a saucepan and fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and steam until beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended, then mix in the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, so that no lumps form and then stir in sour cream. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Dump in the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat.
• Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions, saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

NO CANS PLEASE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Snap the ends off of the green beans and then snap the green beans in half. Place the green beans in a crock pot with the ham hock.
• Add enough water to barely cover the green beans. Cook on high for 4 hours.
• Take the green beans and ham hock out of the crockpot. Gently remove the meat off of the bone of the ham hock and place the meat into a bowl. Working with your hands tear the ham into tiny pieces.
• Pour the cream of mushroom soup and the buttermilk into the bowl with the ham. Stir to combine. Stir in half of the cheese and then gently fold in the green beans carefully so the beans do not break.
• Pour the mixture into a buttered casserole dish. Top with the rest of the cheese and the french fried onions.
• Bake on 375 for 20 minutes or until bubbly and hot.
