![]() ![]() I am so damn excited to serve this casserole on Thanksgiving day and then again on for Christmas dinner. spoonful! My daughter also gobbled up a boatload of it. “Are you sure?” “Because the last time you said that, it really wasn’t that good” “I nailed this green bean casserole finally!” Now for eating, I love Dole’s roasted Garlic tomato basil soup, but that’s in a carton, so I digress.Īfter I tried a bite of this casserole, I immediately called my husband at work. YES! Like I mentioned before with shortening in my Puppy Chow Truffles post, I also try to avoid canned soup as much as possible when making casseroles and the likes. And the best thing about the best green bean casserole, it doesn’t use a soup can. It was so good, I’m honestly surprised I had any to photograph for the blog. And folks, I nailed it! Now, I don’t mean to toot my own horn but this stuff is legit. I was bound and determined to bring back the green bean casserole to my Thanksgiving table. Such a disappointed when it’s practically a dump and bake kind of casserole. Now you know, if you are preparing this big meal and you have even 1 item fail, you feel like the entire rest of the meal has gone down the drain. Another year I used canned green beans and they were mushy. One year I used frozen green beans, and I didn’t thaw them and they were watery and disgusting upon coming out of the oven. No matter what I did, it didn’t turn out. I tried and tried every year with major fail to make green bean casserole. If you’re wondering why I didn’t mention green bean casserole, its because it’s been absent from my menu for the last few years. Even my girlfriend who loathes sweet potatoes loves them! I also serve stuffing, although I am not a fan (oh, the horror) creamy garlic mashed potatoes (recipe coming SOON) and cranberry relish, although only me and the FIL eat it. I first made them a few years ago and they’ve been at every Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving and holiday table from then on. If you’ve never made them before I encourage you to do so, now. For instance, The Pioneer Woman’s Soul Sweet Taters. I have a few staples that I made every year. Out was the bland mashed potatoes with no flavor and in comes lots of garlic! But I want to please everyone and not everyone loves garlic like we do, right Linda? □ Hence why I have a hard time figuring out what is going to please everyone.Īt the end of the meal, I am thankful I have a family who is willing to eat the food I prepare regardless of their taste preferences, garlic breath and all. My husband grew up in a house full of traditional recipes and so did I, but when I began to really get into the kitchen 10 years ago, I really started to explore different and bolder flavors. To be honest, I always have a hard time coming up with a menu. It’s a time of year where I can really shine in the kitchen and show thankful I am for the people around me, through the food I prepare. I’ve got a bunch of Thanksgiving day recipes to share with you over the next few weeks so hold off on menu planning, mmkay? I just finalized my menu last night. It’s beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving. ![]() ![]() You’ll never go back to the can of soup again!įree up your oven with this Slow Cooker White Cheddar Green Bean Casserole This version is packed with flavor from the made from scratch fresh mushroom soup, french style green beans, cheddar cheese and french fried onions.
