Green Bean Casserole plus 1 more |
| Posted: 30 Nov 2011 05:40 PM PST  Green bean casserole is a classic Thanksgiving side dish that never seems to get old. Although the condensed soup version of the green bean casserole recipe seems to be pretty popular, the homemade, from scratch, version is pretty easy to make and well worth the extra effort! Really it is as easy as sauteing some onions and mushrooms and then making a quick creamy broth before continuing to mix in the green beans and bake until golden brown. When you take the time to make it yourself, you can take a few extra steps to build up the flavour. Once the onions and mushrooms are just cooked you could move on to the next step but cooking them a bit longer until they caramelize a bit will pack in a wallop of flavour! For the sauce you can go with all cream or you can add some more flavour by using some broth and of course some white wine will help you deglaze the pan. Cheese is always a welcome addition to the creamy sauce and you can change things up by using different a cheese every once in a while. The french fried onion topping is one of my favourite parts of the green bean casserole and they are also the one part that I am willing to go with pre-made for as they can be a bit of work to make yourself. You really cannot go wrong with green beans and creamy mushrooms!

Not too long ago I came across Rick Bayless recipe for a habanero salsa where the main component in the salsa was the habanero chilies with some garlic, lime juice and salt adding a bit of flavour. Just from the sound of the recipe you know that this is going to be one hot salsa, and I knew that I would have to try it!
