Sautéed onions, mushrooms, and carrots lend tremendous flavor to this Green Bean Mushroom Medley and it’s the perfect green bean side for any holiday meal.  Forget about that dreaded Green Bean Casserole!  

There’s no Green Bean casserole on my Thanksgiving dinner table.  However, there is this full-flavored Green Bean Mushroom Medley.  It takes a little time to cut up the vegetables but it is so worth it.  Check it out!

My sister Nancy is a vegetarian, and when she comes to my house for holiday family gatherings, there’s a lot on the menu that she can’t eat.  Several years ago, she started bringing this delicious side dish to our family gatherings and it’s one of my favorites.  I can never get over how much flavor the mushrooms add to this recipe, and I use to think I didn’t even like mushrooms.  Who needs meat to flavor green beans….this recipe is full of flavor.  When my sister brings it to my house, she triples the recipe….enough said!

My apologies for not having many pictures of this recipe.  I’ve never made this recipe myself.  My sister always makes it, and  I’m so glad because I take care of the rest of our Thanksgiving meal.
