Even when coated in some sauce, when I bite into the bean, it seems to squirt out water, and both DH and I find it yucky. But I would love to find a way around this problem so that I can use frozen ones more often!Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621246215824668777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-52335795043760628792008-02-01T14:18:00.000-06:002008-02-01T14:18:00.000-06:00Thanks for the casserole recipe!

You just brush the green beans with oil and put on 425 for 15 minutes (shake at 7 minutes or so). Once they're brown pull them out and add a little bit of salt. These are excellent, like green bean fries! I'm trying to figure out how to make homemade green bean casserole minus the condensed mushroom soup. I'm guessing some combo of sour cream and mushrooms.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609534420372101959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-53064427515986191052008-01-31T13:30:00.000-06:002008-01-31T13:30:00.000-06:00Green beans with a vinaigrette made of balsamic vi...Green beans with a vinaigrette made of balsamic vinegar and chopped slow-roasted tomatoes, which we all have in the freezer!Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-77884806191268397212008-01-31T11:01:00.000-06:002008-01-31T11:01:00.000-06:00I love fresh green beans, but I guess I'm spoiled ...I love fresh green beans, but I guess I'm spoiled these days, because unless beans are fresh or home-canned (not store-bought canned), they just don't taste very good to me.<BR/><BR/>But your green bean ideas will work well for fresh ones and home-canned ones, too!
