Holiday Shopping Lists...Shopping for...GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE


Green Bean Casserole Ingredients - Page 14 of Roux, Simple Cajun Recipes

Everyone prepares and serves Green Bean Casserole for the holidays.

The recipe is on page 14 of Roux, Simple Cajun Recipes and of course, everywhere else in the world, but it's nice to have all of your holiday recipes in one little book!

Now, we are not cooking yet, we are stocking our pantry for the holidays.

You are buying staple ingredients for each recipe ahead of time, little by little, so you don't have a large bill for groceries during the holiday season.

You can double (I usually double this recipe) and triple your purchase of the ingredients for a larger dish.

1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup
2 cans of cut Green Beans
Soy sauce
Black pepper
1 large can of French's Fried Onion Rings

Listed are the things you buy ahead of time and put away (they're perishables in this recipe that you have to purchase during the holidays).

I have a decorated Holiday box that I put everything in so I won't use the staple ingredients for anything else before the holidays. Bon Appetit!

Shopping lists for the holidays...

I am getting ready to post the lists for your shopping for the dishes you would like to prepare for the holidays...if you start buying a few things now on your shopping lists it is easier on your pocket book and your feast will be awesome!

I will post lists for small get togethers that are easy to prepare. Also shopping lists to prepare Christmas and New Years Day traditional dishes in South Louisiana.

Check back soon!  Bon Appetit!
