Preparation

So, first, let's prepare all the ingredients. Take the onions, peel them, chop them finely and sauté in oil until golden brown. Peel the potatoes, boil them in salted water and mash them into a puree, diluting them with lukewarm milk. Wash the white beans thoroughly, boil until soft and grind in a blender until smooth. After that, combine it with mashed potatoes and add salt to taste. If you have extra time, it is best to grind the vegetable mass through a meat grinder. Now take a deep baking dish and coat it with vegetable oil. Divide the vegetable filling in half and place the first part on the bottom of the mold. Next, cover evenly with a layer of fried onion and cover our casserole with the remaining puree. We smooth the surface nicely with a spoon, generously sprinkle with spices to taste and pour in the remaining oil. Bake the dish in the oven until golden, about 45 minutes at 180°C. Carefully turn the finished bean and potato casserole onto a dish, cool slightly and serve.

Add an egg to the minced meat, season with spices to taste and put in the refrigerator for a while. Lightly coat the pan in which we will bake our casserole with vegetable oil and spread the prepared minced meat in an even layer, leveling it with a spoon. Then cover everything with frozen green beans, add a little salt to taste and sprinkle with ground pepper. Mix sour cream with mayonnaise and coat the beans with the resulting mixture. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 180°C and after about 15-20 minutes, remove the finished casserole, placing it on a flat dish. Serve it warm with fresh vegetables and herbs, cut into portions.
Green beans or green beans are common unripe beans and are sold fresh or frozen. But unlike mature beans, green beans are more healthy and lower in calories, due to which they have become very popular among adherents of a healthy diet. The presence of vitamin K, manganese, iron, dietary fiber and easily digestible vegetable protein in green pods attracts special attention from vegetarians and those who watch their figure and health. During the growing process, the legume plant repels toxins well, unlike other vegetables and fruits that can be processed or grown in less favorable conditions. Well, what can we say, this plant is very healthy, but it needs to be consumed in moderation due to the fiber it contains, which benefits the body in small quantities. And in order to transfer maximum vitamins into the finished dish, resulting in a healthy food product, it is best to boil the green pods or bake them in the oven. Green bean casserole is one of those simple and delicious recipes that will retain maximum benefits from nature in the dish. But legumes themselves do not have a pronounced taste, so additives are needed. Cheese goes well with beans, and a good, high-quality dairy product will double the benefits of the dish. In addition, a casserole of green beans is prepared with egg and cream, which, when baked in the form of an omelette, fills all the voids and holds the dish together. It turns out very tasty, try it!

Green bean casserole is an incredibly tasty and quite filling dish of Hungarian cuisine. It perfectly combines boiled green beans, rice and tender minced pork. Onions and garlic fried in oil emphasize the mild taste of the casserole, and sweet paprika, marjoram and black pepper add piquancy and spiciness. The connecting link is egg and sour cream. The result is an original and bright dish that can completely replace dinner.
Cooking time: 120 minutes

The casserole can also be cooked in an air fryer at a temperature of 165° C. The cooking time will remain the same (as for the oven).
If desired, the beans can be steamed. This will not change the taste of the dish.
If you want to save time, use ready-made minced pork for the casserole.
What we used to call “casserole in pots” is called casserole by chefs in civilized countries. We won’t break established traditions and call it “our way.” Today's dish, a dietary green bean casserole, is usually prepared in small portions in an oval or round heat-resistant bowl, better known as a cocotte maker. Although, in principle, these could be the already mentioned pots, as well as frying pans, baking dishes and other utensils. The main rule is to cook only in the oven.
There are a great many recipes for casserole. In the homeland of the dish in France, vegetable casseroles are primarily popular, followed by meat and fish varieties, casserole with pasta and potatoes.
Since you and I lead a special lifestyle, we will try to choose the appropriate recipe.
Let's start cooking.
Bon appetit! Vegetable casserole is a tasty and fairly safe dish. This is especially important if you suffer from diabetes.
This green bean casserole is a great way to add variety to your homemade green bean dishes. Although it appeared on tables in the post-Soviet space not so long ago, in neighboring Poland, green beans have been familiar to everyone since childhood. But despite this, it is almost always served boiled, with breadcrumbs browned in butter. By the way, cauliflower has the same poor fate :-). And when our godfather from Poland was visiting us and for dinner, as one of the side dishes, I made browned green beans with granulated garlic and Grana Padana cheese, he was childishly, sincerely surprised that green beans could be eaten like that. And I ate almost all of it myself, out of joy :-). And this is a person who can be safely called a gourmet by nature, coming from a country where green beans long ago fit into the national culinary traditions :-). Although here, too, almost all of us, young potatoes are just boiled, sprinkled with dill, and brushed with butter. And sometimes, someone will make onion sauce with sour cream or sprinkle with cracklings. And all this leads me to the fact that you need to leave stereotypes and not be afraid to savor products in a new role. And you will discover a whole range of new tastes and textures of your usual products. This, quite easy to prepare, green bean casserole also has an unusual taste.
If necessary, all the main components of the casserole can be prepared in advance. Bechamel sauce, blanched beans or mushrooms fried with onions. You can even put everything together and put it in the refrigerator and keep it there for up to 24 hours and when you come home from work you just put the casserole in the oven.
When folding the casserole, it may seem like there isn't enough bechamel sauce. But the main thing is to distribute it evenly. During baking, everything will fall into place and there will be enough of it to “bind” all the ingredients together. More sauce would have made the casserole too bechamel-like. And the main role in it is played by green beans and there is no need to change that.
If desired, you can use yellow green beans, but they will need to be cooked for 5-6 minutes before adding to the casserole as they are somewhat tougher. Champignons can also be replaced with wild mushrooms or any other cultivated mushrooms.
As for butter on the surface of the green bean casserole, it's not necessary, but without it the breadcrumbs won't brown properly. If this is not important for you, you don’t have to post it.
