So you have been asked to bring a side dish this Thanksgiving and you have opted to bring green bean casserole.  You can always make it the “classic” way with condensed soup and canned beans or you can try one of these alternative recipes for green bean casserole.

Gourmet Green Bean Casserole

Instead of using canned soup, use heavy cream, fresh mushrooms, chopped red peppers, and Parmesan cheese.

Green Bean and Artichoke Casserole

Add drained, chopped artichokes and cheese to your traditional recipe for a delicious twist!

Panko-Crusted Green Bean Casserole

Personally the fried onions are the best part of green bean casserole, but if onions aren’t your thing, substitute panko bread crumbs instead.
