"Cats FUN-Green Bean Casserole"

 Hey everyone...hope your week is going great & your "Thanksgiving Menu" is coming along. Well, if you want to change it up a bit, I have the recipe for you. We all know that I've been working on my grandsons Davin cookbook for Christmas. So, I decided to "put a little fun" in a side dish that we all know and love so well. I know a green bean casserole is a much on our Holiday menu, but I had to put a spin on it. You know me! He loves "funyuns" and unfortunately has his Gege addicted to them too. But it's the Holidays and this is when we can splurge a bit but still keeping with the tradition as well. So, I decided to add a little "fun" in the classic green bean casserole by using a bag of "funyuns" instead. I have to say that I'm not too sure I'll make it any different now. It's d'lish and still gives you the classic casserole taste but with a bit more of a crunch. If you love "funyuns" please give this a try. Plus, what a "fun" way to get your kiddos involved in the kitchen. They will be surprised when you pull out a bag of funyuns. I know seeing a kids face light up during the Holidays makes me happy! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Blessed Cooking from My Home to Yours,

Cat

Tip....you can follow the traditional recipe and then sub the "funyuns" or make mine recipe below...remember fresh beans is always best but with the Holiday rush I love the cans :-)

Here's all you need...

* 2 (14.5) cans of French style green beans (Del Monte-drained)

Note...if you use fresh it's about 2 cups of already "cooked" green beans :-)

* 1 (10.5) can of cream of chicken soup (or mushroom soup

* 1/2 to 3/4 cup of low-fat milk or your desired liquid

* 1 (2 oz.) bag of "Funyuns" (reserve a few to crumble on top before serving for that extra crunch!

* salt/pepper to taste

Here's all you do...

* Preheat oven to 350*

* Butter bottom and sides of a casserole dish and place on a baking pan...set aside.

* In a large bowl whisk soup with milk until creamy & season as desired.

* Fold in "drained" green beans. Mix until combined.

Now the "FUN" begins!

* On bottom of casserole layer a few funyuns...

* Spread 1/2 of green bean mixture

* Layer a few more funyuns

* Rest of green bean mixture

* Now top of the casserole with the "funyun rings" in a decorative manner.

Note...remember to leave a few back to "crumble " on top right before serving. This part is super fun for the kiddos :-)

* Cover tightly w/ aluminum foil and poke about 4 tiny holes in foil.

* Bake about 30 minutes or until cooked through (ovens vary)

I love this casserole...the funyuns become one with the soup when cooking and you get an extra creamy onion flavor. I hope you enjoy this recipe, and it becomes a new "tradition" for your family during the holidays. Seriously...anytime...great way to get the kiddos to eat their veggies :-)

Stay safe & check back soon for more recipes!
