Grands Green Bean Casserole


     I was looking for something different to make for Thanksgiving this year and thought I'd test this Green Bean Casserole from Pillsbury in my dutch oven before serving it to my family.  In my 12 inch dutch oven, the casserole baked for a total of 40 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the base of the oven and 28 on the lid.  The biscuits baked for 10 minutes before I spooned on the bean mixture.  After 25 more minutes the casserole was hot, bubbly and ready for the final coating of onions.
     I pre-cooked the frozen green beans in my microwave but you could also use 4 15 oz cans of your favorite green beans, drained, right out of the can.  Use your more traditional green bean casserole recipe if you like but do try it sometime on the biscuits, it's a good combination and a fun way to dress up an everyday side dish.

  1. Wow, this is an excellent twist on the traditional green bean casserole.
    Do the beans really need to be cooked before assembling the dutch oven?

    But what's really amazing is the pictures you get for your posts. They're amazing!

  2. Thank you for your nice comment John, I wasn't sure about the beans, depends on how crunchy you like them, so I followed the original recipe. I think blanching or microwaving them for a few minutes will probably insure that they are done. You don't want to cook this too long because your biscuits will burn. Happy Thanksgiving! Liddy
