If you can't find haricots verts (those long, skinny French green beans), use green string beans and julienne them lengthwise. It's worth the effort.

This is another holiday staple at my house. I have had it every way known, and it seems to have become an American holiday staple, but I still like it this way best. I think the frozen green beans is the closest to summer as you can get in the middle of winter. Canned just does not cut it. -- posted by Edward S

A new twist on plain old green beans! My family calls this my "secret recipe"...but I am willing to share!! These are too good and easy not to!!

Cold String/Green Bean Salad With Pine Nuts and Currants

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 17:28:54 -0400

Another super easy from my friend Amy! She let me borrow her recipe box! I had a lot of fun browsing last night. I am not sure how many this serves so I guessed. It calls for 1 1/2 lbs. of beans. When you steam the beans, don't overcook them; they should be bright green and still firm but cooked. I forgot to mention cooking the beans so this is an update (thanks Sugarpea)! Let the beans sit at room temperature and serve cold. -- posted by Oolala

Thanksgiving Green Bean Bake, Revisited!

Mon, 10 Oct 2005 18:30:09 -0400

Sooo Good! From BH&G magazine, Nov. 2005. Same flavors in a new way. Instead of french fried onions, use a fresh onion cut into wedges; in place of mushroom soup, use fresh baby portobello, cremini or button mushrooms. This can be made ahead! I just made it and it looks great (I used a red onion). I'll reheat it on Thanksgiving. * I used about 3 lbs. beans and doubled the olive oil, balsamic, and soy but kept the cheese the same and only used 3 tbsp. milk. If you use Splenda Brown sugar, use half the amount, so use 1 1/2 tbsp. which is how I made it. This went over very well at my Thanksgiving! * I found it is easy to do the beans first then put them in a bowl with mushrooms and toss them in there with the soy, balsamic and olive oil and then use the pan to cook the onions- I also made thin wedges and they separated in the pan which was fine and added more color on top. I didn't put it in the oven for the last 5-8 minutes to heat through since I made this ahead. I simple made it up to adding the cheese and onions on top and then on Thurs. I will heat the whole dish through. -- posted by Oolala

Easy Buttered Green Beans and Carrot Sticks

Fri, 23 Dec 2005 15:15:04 -0500

This is easy to make and the perfect veggie side dish to compliment your holiday table, and the combination of colours is very pretty! This recipe will serve around 6-8 people but it can be doubled. The beans and carrot sticks can be boiled hours in advance, just leave them in the ice water in the fridge until ready to saute in butter. I most always sprinkle with sliced toasted almonds, or even peanuts when serving this at my table, but that is optional. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Aunt Phyllis' Green Beans in Walnut Sauce

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 13:29:21 -0400

From Aunt Phyllis' SIL Betty. Betty served this at a sedar. This calls for 1/4 cup vinegar but you may choose to use a bit less if you don't like a strong vinegar taste. Aunt Phyllis said it was delicious! The nuts can be ground in a blender and if you choose, you can substitute sesame seeds. This is really like a vinaigrette over cooked beans. Very easy. -- posted by Oolala

Mrs. G's Green Bean and Porcini Mushroom Casserole

Mon, 28 Aug 2006 21:58:00 -0400

Got this amazing recipe from dear old mom,not sure where she got it so I'm claiming it!! I am not a green bean casserole fan, but this is soooo good. The mushroom cooking in cream is something I am going to turn into a separate recipe sometime, it's soooo yummy. This is a staple on our Thanksgiving table, give it a try, you'll get rave reviews!! "All the components of this dish can be cooked ahead of time. The assembled casserole needs only 15 minutes in a 375-degree oven to warm through and brown. A gratin dish works nicely with this recipe." -- posted by Mrs Goodall

Green Bean-Mushroom Casserole (By Paula Deen)

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:12:36 -0500

This is a highly rated recipe from Paula Deen of the Food Channel and worth making! I have tweaked it slightly and doubled the complete amounts to suit our tastes --- Paula has a house seasoning blend mix which is 1/2 cup salt mixed with 2 tablespoons black pepper and 2 tablespoons garlic powder, she uses a small amount in this casserole, you have the option of omitting the fresh garlic and adding it in, store the remaining mix in an air tight container for up to 6 months, I strongly recommend using low-sodium cream of mushroom soup -- posted by KITTENCAL

This recipe is kind of a mix of ideas I got from several recipes and I love it! I made it for my family for Thanksgiving and they ate the entire dish. This is by far one of the simplest recipes you can find. And it's cheap and easy to make! Definately let this sit for a while after you take it out of the oven. It won't look done, but once it sits and cools, the sauce will thicken up, and it stays hot for a really long time. -- posted by tendollarwine

Suzanne Somers' Green Beans and Vinaigrette

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:11:16 -0400

Green Beans with a garlic vinaigrette. Can serve this hot or cold and the vinaigrette can be used over other vegetables or as a salad dressing. I find that if you make the vinaigrette in advance, it allows the flavors to blend and infuse the oil. I have added Parmesan cheese, Emeril's Essence spice mix and even some splenda and honey. My kids loved it. You could use the dressing as a base and just add ingredients to taste (Dijon and Worcestershire work well too). -- posted by Oolala

Harvest Green Beans

From the Penzey's Spice Catalogue! I was asked by my mom to bring this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. (Feel free to use agave nectar in place of the honey to make it 100% vegan friendly). I was really excited that my mother chose this recipe because it is a nice change from the usual "Green Bean Caserole" we've all seen so many times. For those of you who aren't familiar with Penzey's spice blend Mural of Flavor, it is a salt-free mix of: shallots, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, basil, coriander, lemon peel, citric acid, black pepper, chives, green peppercorns, dill weed, and orange peel. I've listed it as "salt-free seasoning" because Recipezaar's database does not contain Penzey's spices. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Hg's Rockin' Lean Bean Casserole! - Ww Points = 1

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:04:04 -0500

Here is yet another Thanksgiving Day recipe from Hungry Girl! The holidays are here. Know what that means? It's green bean casserole time! But did you know that even though the main ingredient in the classic dish is green beans, each serving can have about 250 - 300 calories and TONS of fat? How can that be? It's all those crazy canned fried onions that are crammed into and piled on top of the thing. One little can of those crispy catastrophes has roughly 900 calories and 70 grams of fat! Eeeks! The good news is, with just a few easy swaps, you can make your own version of this holiday fave, for a fraction of the fat and calories. Check out HG's NEW recipe and share it with everyone you know... (Serving Size: 1/8 Casserole - 80 calories, 1g fat, 255mg sodium, 13g carbs, 4g fiber, 3g protein -- POINTS® value 1) Please note that all of the can sizes are approximate as none were provided in the recipe from Hungry Girl. I will update this when I make the recipe! :-) ANOTHER NOTE: ***This recipe will rock your holiday world!!!! The key ingredient here is the Crispy Delites Red Onion Chips. You can buy them online at heavenlydietstore.com or yummydelights.com. In a pinch, you can use an ounce of onion-flavored soy crisps instead. -- posted by senseicheryl

Penzey's Tomato Basil Green Beans

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:14:38 -0500

This recipe is from a Penzey's catalog from several years ago. It is also very good with dill instead of basil, and I plan to try with oregano next time. Be sure to use plum (roma) tomatoes which are meatier than other types. Also, the cooking times are for whole green beans; I buy a big bag of frozen whole tender young beans at a warehouse club or Trader Joes. I have reduced the amount of oil to 1/4 cup from 1/2 as originally written, based on a review and my own preference also. -- posted by appleydapply

Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:07:42 -0400

I found this recipe on VegWeb: So far I have found no complaints! "This is meant to be a vegan version of the traditional green bean casserole served at holidays, etc., for those of you who loved it and were sad to not have it at the holidays once you went vegan. Many of my non-veggie friends like this better than traditional green bean casserole because it has more veggies and more herbs and spices." - from the website (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6137.0) -- posted by havolina

Yummy Thanksgiving classic dish, and a little twist on tradition...I made it by accident because I don't like French-fried onions so I wanted to make my own and add a little something extra! -- posted by the80srule

The onion-topped green bean casserole is a mainstay for Thanksgiving. This version while full of familiar flavors, is a bit more elegant, more flavorfull & you don't have to wait till Thanksgiving to prepare and eat it!! It is really very flavorful and good.

Mushroom Green Bean Casserole

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:45:16 -0500

A french-style green bean casserole minus the fried onions and using homemade white sauce with fresh mushrooms and onions. This is very similar to Kittencal's Recipe #128905 , but mine does not use water chestnuts or almonds, and mine uses Cheez Whiz process cheese instead of shredded cheddar. You can use two 16-ounce packages of frozen french-style green beans instead if you like. Use more or less cream depending on how thick you like your sauce. Yum! -- posted by Laura70
