If you're looking for an update to the classic green bean casserole, this is it. It's very fresh tasting. Adapted from a Penzey's spice catalog from several years ago. The cooking sherry is optional, but it really adds to the flavor.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon dried parsley, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 tablespoon minced lemon peel
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons cooking sherry
20 ounces frozen French-cut green beans
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

1
Cook green beans according to package directions.
2
In a medium saucepan over low heat saute onions, thyme and parsley in butter for 5 minutes.
3
Blend in salt, pepper, flour and lemon peel. Add sour cream and sherry, and cook on low for 3 minutes.
4
Grease a medium/large casserole dish with butter, add cooked and drained beans to the dish. Pour the sour cream and spice mix over the beans, stir gently to coat. Sprinkle grated cheese and bread crumbs over the top of the dish.
5
Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes, until topping is lightly browned.

This was an excellent replacement for the canned casserole my mother has always served at Thanksgiving. I used fresh beans and definitely should have boiled them a minute longer, but the flavor was wonderful. I used a chardonnay in place of cooking sherry and attempted to zest the lemon with a serrated steak knife instead of using the whole peel.

Very good! I thought I had seen every recipe there was for green bean casserole. this was fantastic. I served this as a side to our steak. I made as directed except I used fresh green beans.

I can't give a star rating for now cause since I didn't have cooking sherry, I used red wine. It was a big mistake. I should have taken the time to come at the computer to see what was a good substitution. Or I should have just omit it. Besides that, I think it would have been a great dish. Thanks Appleydapply.

What an elegant version of green bean casserole! Delicious! Like another reviewer, I used Panko bread crumbs, their delicate consistency paired well with this refined recipe. This is almost green beans stroganoff! Thanks, ApplyDapply! Made for 123 HW.
