Christmas Green Bean Casserole
In looking at the standard recipe for a green bean casserole, I realized that the dish could easily be made more Christmas colorful by including small pieces of red bell pepper. The suggested quantity is about a half cup of chopped red bell pepper per recipe.
For those who wish to lower the sodium and flour content of the standard recipe, you can make your own mushroom soup fairly easily. Take a cup of fresh mushrooms and add it to 2-1/4 cups of vegetable broth. Add salt and pepper to taste and 3 tablespoons of flour to thicken.
If you wish to start totally from a water base, just use the 2-1/4 cups of water, add a stalk of celery, an onion cut into quarters and a carrot, cut into thumb-sized pieces. Boil the water-vegetable mixture until the carrots are cooked through. Then either put the vegetables through a sieve or discard them, using the resulting broth as your base. Add a cup of mushroom pieces and stems and cook for 5 more minutes.
Adding the salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons of flour as thickener, continue with the normal green been casserole recipe you've always used.
Developed by Campbell's Kitchen, the green bean casserole has become a Christmas staple on many American tables. There are several 'Flavor Variations' worth a look on their website www.campbellskitchen.com.
A quick review of the original recipe is: Mix 2 t soy sauce, 1/4 t black pepper, 2 cans of Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup, 1 cup of milk, 8 cups of cooked cut green beans and 2-2/3 cups French's French Fried Onions.
Mix all except 1 cup of onions together in a 3 quart casserole and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Stir and sprinkle with remaining onions. Bake for 5 more minutes or until the onions are golden brown.
You'll enjoy adding the red bell peppers to the green bean mix as it gives a unique touch to the old standby. We call it our Christmas Green Bean Casserole.
Merry Christmas to All!
