Thanksgiving Casserole

 



I love green bean casserole, and I love stuffing!  This recipe brings you the best of both worlds with those savory green beans and the crunchy deliciousness of the stuffing topping!  This mixes in a single dish and will serve a crowd.  Done and on the table in under about 40 minutes!  What more can you ask for?


You'll need:

4 12 ounce bags of frozen green beans
1 family size cans of cream of chicken soup 
7 ounces sour cream
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1 large container of French fried onions
salt and pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
red pepper flakes
2 boxes of turkey flavor dry stuffing mix
1/2 carton chicken broth
1/2 stick of butter

Begin with 4 bags of frozen green beans in a greased jumbo size baking pan.  Top beans with both cans of cream of chicken soup.  Add 7 oz sour cream on top.  Add one pound of shredded cheddar cheese.  Add 1/2 a large can of French fried onions.  

Season with parsley, black pepper, salt, onion powder, red pepper flakes and garlic powder.  I used about 1/4 teaspoon of each but you can season to your taste. 

Mix all ingredients well and smooth out in the pan. Top the green beans with 2 boxes of turkey flavor dry stuffing mix. Spread stuffing mix evenly then pour 1/2 carton of chicken broth.  You want to wet the stuffing mix so that it bakes up crispy.  Dot with 1/2 stick of butter and add the remaining French fried onions.  

Bake at 350* for approximately 30-40 minutes until the center is well set.  

Notes:  You can use any cream of soup that you like - cream of mushroom, cream of bacon, etc.  You can also omit the red pepper flakes if that is too spicy for your taste.  If you need a smaller family serving, just cut this recipe in half.  I recommend serving this on the day you bake it.  If you refrigerate it overnight, your toppings may soften and loose their crunch factor.
