Recipe Introduction

We have these every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are head and shoulders above the cream of mushroom, onion ring green bean casserole

List of Ingredients

3 cans whole green beans
2 T. butter
1 c. chicken broth or chicken bouillon
1 c. half and half
2-3 T. flour
20 saltines, crushed
4 T. softened butter
6 T. parmesan cheese



Recipe

Drain liquid from canned green beans, saving about half. Combine with stock and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in half and half mixed with flour to a smooth consistency and bring to a boil to thicken. Add drained green beans and heat through. Place in ovenproof casserole.

Combine crushed crackers, 4 tablespoons butter and Parmesan cheese, and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle crumbs over casserole and broil until crumbs brown. Serve immediately. Serve about 8-10.

Note: Watch casserole carefully during browning process. You don't want to burn the topping. They go from brown to burned FAST!
