We were invited to a BBQ in Queens last month, and I was asked to bring a dish but offered very little guidance as to the type of dish. So since no one said I couldn’t, I decided to whip up a batch of green bean casserole, just like we do down home. My version started with onions, garlic and mushrooms in one pot and green beans in the other:
Saute garlic, onions and mushrooms for 10 minutes.
Boil green beans in salty water for about 15 minutes.
Once the veggies were all cooked through, I threw them into the skillet and added a can of cream of mushroom soup. I then let all this cook together for another 5-10 minutes on low heat. Turn on that oven to 350!
I first threw everything down in a lil’ bit o’ butter.
Then add the soup, bring to a boil, then back down to a simmer.
Then I poured this tasty mixture into one of my uber-classy foil baking dishes, added french fried onions and baked at 350 for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and brown.
Mmmm…. smells like Thanksgiving, y’all.
