One of the
things I wanted to do is share some recipes on this blog. I mean I like food …
who doesn’t (ok so besides the picky 2-4 year olds out there). Anyway, there
are some family recipes that are in high demand around the holidays and there
are some holidays coming up so I thought I would share one. This is in no way healthy…
at all. But man, it is ALWAYS a hit and there are never left overs so enjoy!
Warning: If you make this and bring it to Thanksgiving, you may find that you
are asked to bring it EVERY year… you were warned.
Ingredients
3-4 Cans of French Cut Green Beans (depends how many
people you are feeding)
½ cup of Sour Cream
1 ½ cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (your
preference – I don’t actually measure this)
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 Tbsp of butter
Can of French fried onions
Instructions
Preheat the
oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Drain the green
beans before placing them in a large mixing bowl.
Add butter,
garlic powder, sour cream, cheese to the beans and mix well. (Add more cheese
or sour cream if desired).
Place in
microwave & oven safe dish for 20-30 minutes stirring well half way thru. (if you
are traveling, cover and hold off on the microwave until you arrive to your
destination and then continue with instructions)
Remove from
microwave.
Add a layer of
French fried onions. (You can use as little or as much as desired).
Place in oven
until French Fried Onions are golden brown and crisp.
Let cool for 5
min before serving.
The
nice thing about this is if you are traveling for a holiday and you are
supposed to bring a dish this is one you can bring and heat it up in their
microwave and just pop it into the oven right before serving. Also, you
probably will be bringing home a clean pan too.
Personally
I prefer to use a 9x13 pan and the oven method. I just cook the whole thing in
the oven from start to finish. Basically once it is bubbly and cooked evenly,
give it a stir and add your french fried onions and pop it back into the oven
until golden. Done.
