Festive Green Beans with Mushrooms and Sun Dried Tomatoes

November 25, 2013 By Kristi Rimkus 4 Comments

During my quest to come up with the perfect side dish for our Thanksgiving feast this year, I’ve come up with a few green bean recipes that rival the typical green bean casserole drowning in mushroom sauce and topped with stale crispy onions. (For those of you who wait in anticipation for this classic green bean dish, please forgive me.)

Green Beans, Mushrooms and Sun Dried Tomatoes

Green Beans, Mushrooms and Sun Dried Tomatoes

This skinnier green bean side dish uses sun dried tomatoes to give it a festive color and distinctive flavor.

You could easily sauté the works up ahead of time (just be sure to leave your green beans crisp-tender so they don’t become a soggy mess), then warm the works up just before you serve.

So what do you think? Will my green beans be the star of the show?

I’m guessing the turkey and  stuffing will outshine my colorful side, dish. That’s okay, I don’t mind taking second place.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Shake It Up! If you aren't a fan of sun dried tomatoes, simply leave them out. Using feta cheese instead of Parmesan would give this dish a Mediterranean feel.

    I've never made that "classic" green bean and mushroom soup casserole! I'll have to someday just for grins. Gotta say this looks much more my speed - really nicely constructed dish. Thanks for this.

      You haven't been missing anything. For us veggie lovers, overcooked green beans in a mushroom soup sauce, isn't tops on our lists. :)
