My mother and I made a few small changes to a recipe we found in a cookbook to create this comforting side dish. We increased the vegetable count and tossed in some seasonings to take the flavor up a notch. It's definitely not your average green bean casserole. —Denise Klibert, Shreveport, Louisiana

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cut fresh green beans (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cans (14 ounces each) water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Pinch pepper
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Add green beans; cook, uncovered, just until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add beans, artichoke hearts, parsley, cayenne and pepper. Stir in bread crumbs and 3/4 cup cheese.
  3. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes.
