- 1/2 package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 stick butter
- 3 cans mushrooms (2 drained, 1 undrained)
- 1/2 C heavy cream
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 6 lb green beans (canned, frozen, or fresh)
- 2 cans (6 oz each) french fried onions
- salt to taste (omit if using canned beans)
- garlic powder
- all-purpose mix (from Frontier)
Preheat oven to 350f.
To make the cream-of-mushroom analogue, soften cream cheese and butter in double boiler and whisk together. Puree 1 can of drained mushrooms, 1 can of undrained mushrooms, and cream until smooth. Remove cream cheese mixture from heat and stir in mushroom puree and sour cream until well blended.
Mix green beans, remaining can of drained mushrooms, 1 can of french fried onions, and mushroom sauce together in large bowl until well coated. Add salt (unless using canned beans), garlic powder, and all-purpose mix to taste.
Press mixture lightly into 9" x 13" oven-safe baking dish. Top evenly with remaining can of french fried onions and lightly season with all-purpose mix.
Bake 30-40 minutes, or until mix is hot and bubbly, and topping is lightly browned.
Makes a ton.
