Green Bean Casserole

I love Green Bean Casserole but I have a complex about using canned ingredients! This recipe is to die for when made with fresh ingredients! My brothers aren't huge fans of Green Bean Casserole but when I made this recipe they couldn't get the fork to their mouths fast enough! Try it and love it!

Things you need:
1.5 lbs Fresh Green Beans - You'll need to snap off the stems and the bottoms
1 lb Mushrooms - whatever kind you like, I like the baby portobello mushrooms for this recipe
1 pkg Bacon - Peppered bacon in this recipe is amazing but again whatever you like
1 White Onion - Chopped
1 8oz tub of Sour Cream
2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
2 cups Corn Flakes
1 stick Butter Melted

First step is to blanch your green beans, get your water boiling and add your green beans, you only want these to cook for 5 minutes. Have a large bowl filled with ice water ready for these green beans, once they have cooked for 5 minutes toss them into the ice water. This will stop the cooking process and leave your green beans nice and crunchy.

Dice up your bacon into bite size pieces and let brown up in a large skillet. Once your bacon starts to brown up add your chopped onion. Let this cook until onions are translucent, then add your mushrooms. When you cut up your mushrooms make sure you leave them a little big because when mushrooms cook they shrink. You want people to be able to tell what fresh ingredients you have in your casserole. When the mushrooms have cooked add the 8oz container of Sour Cream. Mix together.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

In a 9x13 baking dish, arrange your green beans on the bottom of the dish, layer the filling on top of the green beans evenly. Top with Mozzarella and Corn Flakes, pour melted butter on top of Corn Flakes and let bake for 45 minutes.

This honestly is the best Green Bean Casserole I have ever had!
