Green Bean Casserole

[Kewlchick278]

Does anyone have a recipe for a Green Bean Casserole (without other vegetables in it?) Prior to Atkins, I used to make it with Cream of Mushroom soup. I read somewhere that those little canned fried onion toppers are low carb, so at least I can still put those on top. =) Any recipe suggestions would be great.
Thanks! =)

I found a recipe that I used for Thanksgiving. You combine green beans with alfredo sauce and fresh sliced mushrooms. The add the fried onions, and cook till bubbly at 350.

Thanks! That sounds great. Never thought of the Alfredo sauce. =)

Alfredo

How do you make the alfredo sauce or do you buy and if so what kind?

TIA

I bought it. I'm trying to think of what brand it was. Could have been Classico.

Store bought alfredo sauce is very high in carbs. You can buy a low carb version, or make your own.

Melt butter in a pan and stir in an equal amount of Atkins bake mix or another low carb flour substitute. (WPI won't work here and neither does whey powder). When the thick paste is well browned in the butter (3-5 minutes on low heat, constantly stirring) slowly add in cream or low carb milk substitute. You may choose to thicken with "flax goop", psyllium powder or ThickenThin NotStarch. A FAQ on thickening is here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...pic.php?t=5895

When this sauce is thickened and bubbling slightly (it can take awhile for the thickening to have full effect) you may add shredded cheese and turn off the heat. Do not overcook the sauce once the cheese has been added.

Yum!! : yummy Bean Delight (that is what we call it in our house). You don't know how happy I am to find a low carb version of this recipe. Thanks

The new Carb Options Alfredo Sauce is wonderful, and only has 2 net carbs per serving (of course, there are six servings in a jar, but for this type of usage you wouldn't need nearly a whole jar!).
