Recipe: The Ultimate Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Fried Shallots


With Thanksgiving coming up this week, we decided to test a recipe I found in Williams-Sonoma's most recent catalog.  (It was my first time making a recipe from their, well, ad.)  Of course it wasn't just any green bean casserole -- they call it "The Ultimate Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Fried Shallots."

All in all, it was pretty good, but I wouldn't call it ultimate.  I would definitely make it again but don't think it can replace the traditional, creamy, semi-mushy Campbell's Soup recipe that takes 5 minutes versus the 45 minutes it took me to prep and cook everything using this recipe. One tip: Try par-boiling the green beans in advance so they soften a bit.

Perhaps we'll have 2 kinds of green bean casseroles this year for Thanksgiving and let the family decide which they like better!
