Next up, the green beans. Because what’s a green bean casserole without the green beans? I love using canned green beans because they’re SO quick and require minimal preparation - and let’s be serious, when it’s Thanksgiving and you’re preparing a million dishes, an ingredient that’s ready to go is seriously welcomed. Why Use Canned Green Beans in Green Bean Casserole? A final splash of worcestershire sauce and a generous hand of salt complete the sauce. The cream portion is an equal mixture of whole milk and half and half, which I find to be the perfect combination to achieve that luscious, smooth-as-silk texture we all love about classic green bean casserole. In my version, hearty crimini (baby portabella) mushrooms, onions and garlic sautéed in butter are the base and foundation of the casserole, while a splash of dry sherry aids in a sweet, almost nutty undertone. Because while I’ll all about tradition when it comes to holidays, tradition could always use a little tweaking. Typically, I tend to reach for the same classic recipe, but this year, I wanted to try my hand at a slightly richer, homemade version. Plus, it’s a heck of a good way to trick your kiddos into eating their veggies. It’s the perfect combination of creamy, crunchy and indulgent. How could you not? Soft green beans entangled in a creamy, mushroom-laced sauce and topped off with crispy fried onions.
