Lest there be some confusion, let’s get this out of the way in which: The unique inexperienced bean casserole was a canned affair. Invented by Dorcas Reilly for Campbell’s Check Kitchen in 1955, it concerned simply six elements (milk, soy sauce, inexperienced beans, french fried onions and most famously, condensed cream of mushroom soup) that could possibly be thrown collectively in simply 10 minutes.
Whereas we usually agree that gussying up nostalgic meals misses the purpose, we just like the revved-up texture and taste that recent elements convey to inexperienced bean casserole. Whereas we didn’t need to stray too removed from custom — in any case, the Campbell’s Check Kitchen recipe is so effectively beloved that it’s served on about 20 million tables every year — we did add just a few thrives to raise the dish.
At the start, this recipe requires recent inexperienced beans. Rather than the canned soup, we use heavy cream, broth and a mix of shiitake and portobello mushrooms. A sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano lends a salty, nutty kick. And naturally, it’s topped with fried onions. (It’s not a inexperienced bean casserole with out them, proper?) The true great thing about this revamped recipe is that it’s nonetheless easy (although admittedly not a dump-and-stir scenario) and may be ready as much as at some point forward of time, then baked while you’re able to eat.

Word: In the event you’re a stickler for custom, you’ll be able to sub out the cream, inventory, and Parmesan rather than conventional canned mushroom soup. Merely combine the cooked shallots and mushrooms with the blanched beans, canned soup, and a splash of milk to your most well-liked consistency.
