Taste-bud Journey: Green Bean Casserole

During the pandemic, I am taking taste-bud journeys as I self-isolate rather than physical journeys. Here is my adapted recipe for Green Bean Casserole. This was a recipe that my mom used. I'm not sure her source; however, I suspect it was likely posted on the back of the container of French's Original Crispy Fried Onions.

FYI - The addition of using the Fried Green Beans Chips is a creative touch of my own. I thought it might be an interesting added flavor to this casserole dish and a good use of the chips I had made a little while back.

Conclusion: To my taste buds, I thought the additional onion-flavor crunch really was an asset to the overall taste-experience. I would definitely repeat this, should I have Fried Green Beans Chips on hand to utilize.

 

  

Recipe

• 1 container of French's Original Crispy Fried Onions
• 1/2 cup of Fried Green Beans Chips [FYI - This is not from the original recipe. This is a little creative touch of my own and is optional in this recipe. A link to that recipe is included below.]
• 2 cans of French Style Green Beans
• 1 can of Cream of Celery Soup [FYI - Alternatively, you could use Cream of Mushroom Soup, instead.]
• 2/3 cup of milk
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tbsp minced onions
• 1/2 tsp prepared mustard
