Everyone's favorite holiday green bean recipe.

Anyone who cooks, and everyone who has ever eaten a Thanksgiving dinner is familiar with that old favorite the green bean casserole.

What could be more simple, frozen or canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup and canned dried onions. Just try to find canned dried onions within three days of Thanksgiving in any foodstore - good luck.

Campbell's came up with this creamy/crunchy concoction in 1955 and estimate that 20 million of these casseroles are served each year, so buy your ingredients early. I just saw a version of this casserole that adds drained chopped pimento. Sounds like something to try this Thanksgiving.

For those of you interested in a green bean casserole that's considered healthier and definitely more goumet try this Cook's Illustrated green bean casserole recipe that uses fresh green beans, mushrooms and a homemade white sauce.

Green beans a'la Waterman's
Our very favorite green bean recipe. One of our favorite seafood restaurants is in Rock Hall, Maryland. It's called Waterman's and they make the most delicious green beans we've ever had. We tried and tried to figure out the seasoning, but we couldn't. OK, we easily tasted the chicken stock, but there was something else, something we couldn't quite put our fingers on. Well, believe it or not, that something else is garlic, yes, garlic, and LOTS of it.

Green Bean Salad
A recipe from my great-grandmother. This is a recipe that's always been a favorite of my Mom's. She's of German heritage and said that she learned it from her Grandmother. For this recipe you'll want to cook the beans until they are tender, but still slightly firm. Green Bean Salad Cut the ends off of one pound of green beans and then cut them into 2 inch lengths. Drop them into boiling water and cook them uncovered for 10-15 minutes. .

Green Beans with Ginger Butter
A fabulous Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish. One of my very favorite side dishes for Thanksgiving. My family loves it. It's quick and easy and I guarantee you'll get rave reviews. I cut this recipe out of a Gourmet magazine many years ago. Green beans with ginger butter Salt 2 pounds haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed 3-inch-long piece fresh ginger 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Finely grated lemon zest from 1/2 lemon.
