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 Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms (does not have to be exactly 2 cups) |
6 cups fresh green beans (ends removed and cut in half, can use more or less if desired) |
6 cups low sodium chicken broth |
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans low-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted |
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste) |
salt (optional) |
2 (2 7/8 ounce) cans french fried onion rings (such as durkee) |
1 cup grated old cheddar cheese (can use (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add in mushrooms and garlic; cook stirring until mushrooms loose their moisture then set aside.
2. Place the green beans in a medium saucepan; cover with chicken broth and bring to a boil; cook for about 8-10 minutes or until just fork-tender drain but do not rinse.
3. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish (or a little larger).
4. Place the mushroom soup, onion/mushroom mixture, Parmesan cheese, black pepper and onion rings in a large bowl; mix well to combine, add in the cooked green beans; mix to combine.
5. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
6. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top; return to oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
