When you’re preparing your holiday menu, don’t you want to have one or two dishes that don’t take a lot of energy to fix but are basically something thrown together quickly so that you can get on to other things? Here’s a very simple vegetable dish that is great for the holidays. It is a take on a very traditional French style green bean casserole. It goes together very quickly and just takes a bit of time in the oven. What you do after that is up to you.
Green Bean Casserole
1 lbs green beans, cleaned and snapped in half
2 large white onions, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
salt
paprika
butter
2 cups panko
6 Tbs butter
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a 13 x 9 baking dish, start by putting down a layer of green beans, a layer of onion, a layer of green pepper, a layer of onion and a layer of green beans. On top of each layer, dot with butter and sprinkle salt and paprika. Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Melt the 6 Tbs butter in a sauce pan, then add the panko and toss to thoroughly coat.
Top the green beans with the panko mixture then place under a broiler until the top starts to brown. Serve warm.
