Deconstructed Green Bean Casserole

Deconstructed Green Bean Casserole

The green bean casserole is one of my favourite holiday side dishes but oven space and time is at a premium so I decided to come up with a stove top version. For the big Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner you are going to be roasting the turkey or other meat and the side dishes like the green bean casserole or the sweet potato casserole also need to be baked, not to mention dessert, and getting them all into the oven so that they are all ready in time for dinner can be a challenge. For this version of the green bean casserole I tried to keep all of the flavours of the classic green bean casserole without any of the oven time. Steamed green beans are nice and easy on the big day and smothering them in a tasty stove top mushroom sauce is always a win. Of course, we cannot forget the signature french fried onion topping that adds a nice crispy texture.
