Christmas in July Blog Hop Party!

This has been an awesome week of sharing Christmas ideas! 

I'm going to share a recipe that I always take to Christmas dinner at my in-laws.  Actually, I always take it to Thanksgiving dinner and Easter dinner, too.  :)

It's Green Bean Casserole, Swiss Style

2 cans or 4 cups of green beans (I use french style if I use canned)
1/2 pound swiss cheese, grated
2 T butter
2 T flour
1/2 tsp onion, grated (I just dump in a bunch of dried minced onions - easy peasy)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cornflakes, crushed
2 T butter, melted

Place green beans in a casserole and sprinkle with cheese.

 

In a saucepan, melt 2 T butter and blend in flour.  Add onion, salt, pepper, sugar, and sour cream.  Cook slowly for a few minutes, stirring constantly.


Pour over beans and cheese.  (I just stir everything together - once again, easy peasy)

Sprinkle top with crushed cornflakes and melted butter.

Bake at 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Serves 8.  (No way!  Not in my family!)
 


I love this.  Not only is it good, but it's easy to make and I usually have everything on hand except maybe the swiss cheese and sour cream. 

I'm STILL using my Tupperware cereal storage after all of these years and I love it.   This is about the only recipe I use cornflakes for and it keeps them fresh forever.

Oh, and I would have loved to have had a picture of the finished casserole all tasty looking and ready on a plate... however, that was not happening in my family!  They had dug into it before I ever had a chance to way whoa!  Sorry!!

So now, what Christmas ideas do you have?  Because today we're having our Blog Hop Party!  So pull out those old posts and dig through your files and link up your recipes, crafts, and/or decor ideas and it will show up on 8 blogs!
