Green Bean Casserole With Mashed Potato Topping Recipes

GREEN BEAN AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch covered baking dish.
• 2. In a large soup pot, combine the potatoes, cream, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the cream is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in the green beans and carefully transfer the mixture to the baking dish. Cover and bake 30 minutes.
• 3. Uncover and continue to bake until the cream is bubbling and the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F., scatter the gruyere and bacon over the top and bake until the cheese is melted and golden, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Remove the casserole from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the crispy onions and serve.

THE MIXTURE - GREEN BEAN, MASHED POTATO, GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Start them boiling.
• Meanwhile, start green beans boiling.
• Meanwhile, brown ground beef.
• Slice onions and spray casserole dish with non-stick coating.
• Place the browned ground beef in the bottom of the casserole dish. Cover with half of the cheese (tearing cheese slices into chunks if using) and half of the sliced onions.
• Add green beans next, and repeat cheese & onion layers.
• Drain potatoes, add milk and butter in your preferred amounts and mash. I use about 2 tablespoons butter & add milk until the consitancy is right.
• Spread mashed potatoes over top of casserole.
• Sprinkle with additional cheese and breadcrumbs followed by paprika if desired, otherwise just with paprika.
• Bake for about 20-30 minutes in a 400 oven until top of mashed potatoes is golden and cheese is well melted. May be prepared in advance, refridgerated and baked later.
• Hints: if this is too bland, some suggestions to spice it up: try adding garlic, worcestershire sauce and other spices when browning beef. Add paprika and garlic powder to the potatoes while mixing. Use jalapeno cheese.

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine water, vegetable bouillon, and vegetable base in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once bouillon is dissolved, stir in cornstarch and flour until thoroughly mixed and boiling. Let mixture boil for 3 minutes until thick like gravy, them remove from the heat.
• Grease two baking pans. Spread 1/2 of the potato-veggie mixture into one pan and pour 1/2 of the gravy over top. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the French-fried onions and cover the pan with foil. Repeat with remaining ingredients in the second pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
