Dads Favorite Green Bean Casserole Recipes

DAD'S PAN-FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place the green beans in a large saucepan or pot with one inch of water. You may place them in a steamer insert if you have one. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 5 minutes, they should still be firm and bright green.
• In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and sugar; set aside.
• Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until starting to brown. Add the green beans and stir to coat with the oil. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and simmer for a couple of minutes uncovered to reduce the sauce. Transfer the beans to a serving dish and pour the sauce over them.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions, parsley, and mushrooms in the melted butter until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are giving off their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the flour, salt, pepper, and lemon juice; cook until the flour is slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the mixture. Mix the green beans into the mixture. Pour the green bean mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the mixture. Stir the crackers and melted butter together in a small bowl until evenly mixed; spread evenly over the Cheddar cheese layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

DAD'S FAVORITE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl combine the soup, milk, soy sauce, and pepper with a whisk, until smooth.
• 2. Stir in half the french fried onions and the thawed green beans until everything is well combined.
• 3. Pour the mixture into a 3 qt. casserole dish, that has been prepared with food release spray.
• 4. Bake covered at 350* for 30 minutes. Remove cover, stir the casserole. Return to the oven and continue baking, uncovered, another 30 minutes, or so, until the casserole is bubbling in the middle.
• 5. Sprinkle with remaining onions. Bake 10 more minutes, until onions are browned.
• 6. NOTES: You can use cut or french style green beans. My husband likes more bite, so I use cut. Sometimes I use the cheesy french fried onions to stir in, then garnish with the original flavor. For extra color and flavor, stir pimientos into the green bean mixture before baking. This is also a great way to brighten up leftovers. With leftovers, reheat with mushrooms and cooked wild rice for a delicious meat-free meal. *We're dairy intolerant, so I substitute an equal amount of rice or soy milk
