This is an old-fashioned recipe, but yum and one I’ve made loads of times. Have I mentioned that green beans are my second-favorite vegetable (after broccoli)? 🙂

Ingredients:

• 1 C. mushrooms
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 3/4 C. sour cream
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil (or herb of your choice)
• 1 lb. green beans, stems removed and cut into 1-2″ slices
• Paprika

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Boil the beans for about 7 or 8 minutes until crisp-tender, or until desired doneness. They won’t cook much more in the oven.

Slice the mushrooms, then saute in the butter for about five minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, salt, pepper, and herbs.

Butter a casserole dish:

Make a layer with about half the beans, then spread on half the sauce:

Repeat, then add a sprinkle of paprika:

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until heated through:

Serve:

Yum!
