I love green bean casserole. I just do. It’s the one dish (along with mashed potatoes and gravy) that I always confirm will be on the table. If I see it missing from the menu, I definitely make sure it’s what I’m bringing.
We always ate it as kids. You know, with the mushroom soup and the canned green beans, topped with the crunchy fried onions. YUM!
When I was eating the new Jenny Craig Risotto with Turkey, Mushroom, and Peas, it definitely gave off green bean casserole vibes, which is where this recipe inspiration originated.
The recipe additions are simple with this dish – – fresh (or canned) green beans, some onion, and a dash of soy sauce. Mixed with the original menu item and then baked in the oven, this dish is the perfect answer to your holiday cravings.
