Green Bean Recipes

Frozen French-cut green beans can be used in place of fresh to save time. Make sure to thaw them first, drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.

We've made the quintessential Thanksgiving casserole better than ever by combining fresh green beans, homemade mushroom sauce, and savory fried shallots.

This beloved Italian soup isn't just hearty and healthy -- it's really flexible. Minestrone typically includes lots of leafy greens, other veggies, and beans. Which to choose? You're only limited by the contents of your refrigerator and pantry.

When you don't have time to make chicken pot pies, enter this every-bit-as-satisfying substitute: chicken and dumplings, ready in about 45 minutes.

For this gourmet take on a potluck classic, the casserole is assembled and the shallots are cooked ahead of time. Just before serving, pop the dish under the broiler for about 10 minutes.

Our classic chicken potpie recipe produces a comfort food dinner that's also fancy enough for entertaining. Individual potpies are topped with frozen puff pastry, which bakes into flaky golden layers—so there's no need to make your own pie pastry. Save time by using leftover chicken from a roast or a rotisserie bird for the filling, along with onion, carrots, celery, and green beans.

In this simple Thanksgiving side dish, green beans are sauteed with butter, shallots, and white wine. A finishing touch of aromatic fresh tarragon sets it apart.

For this modern take on green-bean casserole, we quickly steam-sauté the beans and finish them with lemon juice and zest. The steamed beans keep their toothsome bite and still get a sprinkle of that classic fried onion topping. 

Whether eaten warm or out of the fridge, this bright, crunchy potato salad pairs perfectly with grilled meats like pork, steak or chicken.

These fresh green beans help balance out the richness of the rest of the Thanksgiving meal.

Green beans are tossed with a mustard vinaigrette and raisin-nut croutons. Sweet and sour never tasted so garden-fresh!

This is a fast and flavorful healthy side dish for tonight's supper.
