SWISS CHEESE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



Swiss Cheese Green Bean Casserole image

When I make this special-occasion veggie dish, I am ALWAYS asked for the recipe. Fresh steamed green beans provide a contrast to decadent melted Swiss cheese and crunchy topping. A family holiday favorite throughout my extended family. You can prepare ahead of time, leaving 4 to 5 minutes to steam the green beans and add other ingredients. Put into oven right before serving dinner (we usually put it in while carving the turkey).

This is my friend Joe Comb's recipe -- he was a great friend and a great cook! He moved away from the Atlanta area several years ago, and I no longer know how to contact him. Wherever Joe is, I hope he is aware of Recipe Zaar -- The original recipe called for french cut green beans, but I prefer whole beans that I can actually chew! 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 pounds blanched fresh beans can be substituted!

Swiss Green Bean Casserole image

This is a nice change from the traditional green bean casserole. I like it much better. This is my sister-in-law's recipe. She knows she has to bring it to all family functions and that the leftovers (if there are any) are all mine! Prep time includes the time it takes to cook the frozen green beans before assembling the casserole.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated onion
1 cup sour cream
4 cups drained cooked frozen string beans (french style green beans)
1/2 lb swiss cheese
2 cups corn flakes
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tbsp butter, stir in flour, salt, pepper, sugar, onion.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the green beans: Cut off the ends of the beans, as well as any tough strings that run along the sides.
  • Blanch the green beans: This helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Dry the green beans: After blanching, pat the beans dry with a paper towel. This will help to prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Green beans can be boiled, steamed, sautéed, roasted, or grilled. Each cooking method will produce a different flavor and texture.
  • Add flavorings: Green beans can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular flavorings include garlic, onion, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese.
