GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH PUMPKIN SEED CRUMBLE (EAT CLEAN FOR THANKSGIVING)
I came up with this 'eat clean' healthy green bean casserole recipe for the Thanksgiving feature article of Natural Health magazine using Dr. Oz's 10 super foods. The super food in this dish is pumpkin seeds. As for green bean casserole, although it's always been a hit in our family, I realize there are two types of people; those who love green bean casserole, and those who don't. As for me, even before I became enthused with eating and cooking healthfully I was never a particularly enthusiastic fan of mushroom soup dumped on top of green beans. Garnish with whole pumpkin seeds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch glass baking pan.
- Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice to make an ice bath.
- Fill a large pot with water and add 1 tablespoon salt; bring to a boil. Add green beans; boil until fork-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain beans in a colander and immediately plunge them into the ice bath. Drain again. Pat dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add mushrooms; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. Remove from heat. Toss in the cooked green beans. Transfer mixture to the baking pan.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil and flour in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add milk slowly, whisking until the roux is creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. Add roux to the pan, tossing to coat the green bean-mushroom mixture.
- Combine pumpkin seeds, bread crumbs, and 2 teaspoons oil in a food processor. Pulse about 10 times until ground. Season with salt; pulse once more. Top green bean-mushroom mixture with the pulsed pumpkin seed mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

THANKSGIVING GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
I just can't have Thanksgiving without green bean cassorole it is absolutely my favorite dish. This recipe is based on the classic Campbell's green bean casserole recipe. Instead of using the traditional condensed cream of mushroom soup, which is full of msg. I use organic cream of mushroom soup, it is not condensed so there is no need to add any milk.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 3 quart casserole dish stir together soup, soy sauce, pepper, green beans, and half of the can of fried onions.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Top with remaining fried onions and bake for 5 minutes more.
Tips:
- Opt for fresh green beans for a crisp texture and vibrant color. Trim the beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces for a uniform bite.
- Use homemade cream of mushroom soup for a richer and more flavorful dish. Sauté mushrooms in butter, add flour to create a roux, and gradually whisk in milk until a smooth and creamy soup forms.
- To achieve a golden brown and crispy topping, combine crushed potato chips, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole before baking.
- Don't overcook the casserole. Bake it just until the green beans are tender-crisp and the topping is golden brown. Overcooking can result in mushy green beans and a soggy casserole.
