Another veggie family favorite. This can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated and baked when ready. This is really good with ham. Although I have only made this recipe using frozen beans, I imagine that you could make this using about 3 cans of French-style beans, just omit cooking the beans. Also the 2 cups half and half can be replaced with whole milk, just watch carefully not to scald the milk while cooking. Ingredients:
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen french-cut green beans (cooked and well drained) |
1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and sliced |
3/4 cup toasted slivered almonds |
1/2 cup butter |
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced |
1 onion, coarsley chopped |
1/4 cup flour |
2 cups half-and-half cream |
1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped) |
2 cups grated cheddar cheese |
1/8 teaspoon tabasco sauce |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a shallow baking dish.
3. Saute onion and mushrooms in butter.
4. Add in flour; mix well.
5. Add in half and half cream (or whole milk if using); stir until thickened.
6. Add in ALL remaining ingredients (except beans and slivered almonds).
7. Simmer until cheese melts (about 5-6 minutes).
8. Add in beans; mix well to combine.
9. Transfer to a prepared casserole dish.
10. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
11. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
