Thanksgiving is always a fun holiday, spending time with family, eating tons of food, and Black Friday the next day! I’ve never been a huge fan of Thanksgiving food, but green bean casserole always had a place in my heart. My Aunt makes it every year and calls me dramatic, but I don’t know what I’d do without it. My plate for the day is usually just green beans. What can I say though it’s delicious!! Anyway, I have to share this recipe I adore so much with you.
What you’ll need:
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
½ cup diced white onion
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
1 cup diced fresh mushrooms
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
-
1 cup sour cream
-
2 (14.5 ounce) cans French style green beans (make sure they’re drained)
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
-
¼ cup melted butter
How to make it:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions, parsley, and mushrooms in the melted butter until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are giving off their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the flour, salt, pepper, and lemon juice; cook until the flour is slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the mixture. Mix the green beans into the mixture. Pour the green bean mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the mixture. Stir the crackers and melted butter together in a small bowl until evenly mixed; spread evenly over the Cheddar cheese layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
