How to Make Green Bean And Potato Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and trim 1 pound of green beans. String beans if necessary, and cut in half.
- Peel and thinly slice 2 pounds of potatoes.
- Grease a shallow, 9x13 inch ovenproof dish.
- Evenly layer the sliced potatoes in the prepared dish. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cream over the potatoes.
- Cover the dish and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
- While the potatoes bake, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes until bright green but still crisp-tender.
- Drain the green beans. Meanwhile, thinly slice 8 ounces of mushrooms and 1/2 of a green bell pepper.
- Combine the cooked green beans, sliced mushrooms, and bell pepper in a bowl.
- After 25 minutes, remove the potato layer from the oven. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
- Arrange the green bean mixture evenly over the cheese-topped potatoes.
- Make the sauce (see step 13-17).
- **Sauce:** Push 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes through a sieve into a bowl, or use 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes undrained.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sieved (or undrained) tomatoes, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, covered.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Pour the sauce over the green bean and potato layers.
- Bake, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes.
- While the casserole bakes, cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Crumble and sprinkle over the casserole during the last 5 minutes of baking.
