National Green Bean Casserole Day

Celebrate National Green Bean Casserole Day with New and Interesting Toppings!

Believe it or not, December 3 is National Green Bean Casserole Day! For those of us who are fans of the classic dish, this day is one we look forward to all year. But why settle for the same ol’ green bean casserole when you can try something new and exciting? Let’s explore some unique toppings that you can use to make your green bean casserole stand out from the rest.

Fried Onions

The classic topping is a must-have on any green bean casserole. However, why not take things up a notch and fry your own onions instead of using store-bought ones? It’s easy to do – simply slice your onions, heat up some oil in a pan, and fry them until they start turning golden brown. This will give your green bean casserole a delightful crunchy texture.

Mushrooms

If you want to add some earthiness to your dish, mushrooms are always a great option. A mix of wild mushrooms such as shiitake, morel, oyster and chanterelle will give your casserole an umami flavor that’s hard to resist. Or if you don’t have access to wild mushrooms, just use regular button mushrooms—they still taste great when cooked in a creamy sauce.

Cheese

You can never go wrong with cheese! From sharp cheddar to creamy Brie or even Parmesan—the possibilities are endless when it comes to adding cheese on top of your green bean casserole. Simply layer slices of cheese over the top and let it melt before serving. Your guests will love it!

This National Green Bean Casserole Day, don’t be afraid to step outside the box and try something new with your favorite side dish! With these unique toppings at hand, you’re sure to create an unforgettable meal that’s sure to please even the pickiest eaters in your family. So go ahead – experiment away!
