Green Bean Stuffing Casserole is a comforting spin on a classic holiday side dish.
Green Bean Stuffing Casserole
This past weekend has found us at one of our favorite places on the planet, our little cottage on a small lake in the middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. I
t’s been a month or so since we have been here and with one of the first beautiful weekends of spring, there was work galore to be done, both inside and out. Haven’t been here for weeks, I was at a loss for knowing what food staples were on hand. T
he only thing I recalled seeing was a bag of frozen green beans. “What can I do with those?” I asked myself.
As the noon hour neared, I continued to rack my brain with what to make the guys for lunch. Not wanting to make the six-mile trip into town merely to pick up some lunch eats, I resorted to deciding on some grilled pork chops that I had brought along. I needed to think of a veggie to serve, and once again, I found mind going back to those beans.
This is a variant of the traditional green bean casserole. Although there are no french onion rings in this dish, we kept the crunch but went in a slightly different direction, using some dried stuffing mix. The flavor was great, and all the kids loved it, dads included. Sometimes it’s a challenge to get our boys to eat a healthy serving of vegetables, but with this easy side, we were able to sneak one past them. The boys got their flavor and their greens. Give this one a try sometime and let me know what you think. -Dan
