Tee hee I got away with it! This is my new go-to recipe for an old favorite. Stir in the green beans and cook for another 3-4 mins. This Thanksgiving everyone really yummed up the casserole, but couldn't put their finger on why it was different from when I made it in past years. Heat 1 tbsp of the butter and the oil in a large pan and fry the mushrooms for 10-15 mins until golden. Really glad I did that because it came out perfect and I wound up discarding the vast majority of the broth. Also, I took note that some reviewers said their casseroles came out too soupy, so I drained the simmered green beans completely but saved the broth, which I added back in to the final mix gradually until I felt there was the right amount of liquid in it. Continue to cook over low heat until gravy thickens (approximately 5 minutes). I also substituted a wonderful white cheddar cheese (Boxing Cheese) instead of the parmesan and didn't add any on top at the end so as not to give away the fact that I changed the traditional recipe. Reduce heat and add sour cream and cream, stirring gently. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese and microwave for another 2 to 3 minutes. Microwave on high power for 3 to 5 minutes, or until warm. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the green beans and mushroom soup. I thought the addition of some garlic would be great but not as much as the recipe called for, so instead I added the same amount of whole cloves of garlic to the pot of simmering green beans in the chicken broth and discarded it when done. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Directions Stir the soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, beans and 2/3 cup of the onions in an 8-inch (1.5 qt) casserole. ![]() I have to qualify the 5-star rating because I didn't make this recipe exactly as posted but that's what I appreciated about it: you could take lots of liberty here to personalize it and still come out with a winner. So I was very happy to find a recipe that gave new life to this old stand-by favorite in a subtle way. ![]() My family is very traditional and doesn't like when I "fool around" with classic holiday dishes.
