Description
A comforting twist on the classic green bean casserole, enhanced with creamy potatoes and a crispy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 cup onion (sautéed until caramelized)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp)
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Boil the diced potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well, and set aside.
- Sauté the onions over medium heat until they are beautifully caramelized.
- Mix the cooked potatoes, green beans, cream, and half of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the mixture into a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until the edges bubble and the cheese is golden.
- Add the crispy fried onions for the last 5 minutes of baking.
Notes
Avoid rushing the caramelizing step, as it significantly enhances the flavor. This casserole pairs wonderfully with roast turkey or grilled chicken.
