With all due respect to the old-school classic, this Ham and Cheese Green Bean Casserole, tested to perfection in the Betty Crocker Kitchens, is ready to take the crown as the best holiday side dish you’ll ever make. Here’s why: the velvety cheese sauce is made with half-and-half, cream cheese, cheddar and broth, so it’s not just rich, it has serious depth of flavor. Added to the mix is savory chopped ham and fresh green beans, which hold their shape when baked, and add toothsome texture to the dish. The one thing we haven’t changed, and would never change—those delectable French-fried onions—adding an irresistible crispy crunch on top! If you’ve ever dreamed of eating green bean casserole for dinner—and honestly, if you haven’t, we’ve got other recipes for you—make it happen with this upgraded classic that’s way too good to save only for the holiday season!

This classic dish, a staple of high-end steakhouses and humble tables alike, is one that every cook should learn to make. We’ve carefully crafted this recipe to capture the ultimate classic creamed-spinach characteristics so that it can be your textbook version and an heirloom to pass down. Once you’ve made it and seen how easy it is, there’s a good chance it’ll be on your table more often than for just special-occasion feasts. It’s creamy and satisfying even though it takes just 35 minutes to make. The ingredients are all easily accessible staples, but the inclusion of nutmeg might surprise you. If you associate that spice more with cookies than vegetables, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Rather than dominating the dish, or even standing out on its own, nutmeg in this application serves to elevate the flavors of the key ingredients—cream and spinach—and bring them into harmony. As a finishing touch, we’ve added butter-toasted panko bread crumbs for a pleasant little crunch that we think you’ll find very satisfying.

creamed spinach

Baby spinach is our preferred green for this dish and it’s what we suggest using to get the same results that we did in our test kitchens. Because it’s younger, the leaves are more tender, and you don’t need to worry about taking off the stems, as you would with more mature plants. Baby spinach wilts quickly into a silky texture—part of what makes this recipe so quick to prepare!

We believe that while, of course, food should be judged by its flavor, there are other factors that make it truly good rather than just OK. One of those factors is texture, which is why we opted to add panko as a finishing touch to this dish. Though they’re not exactly traditional, the buttery crumbs make a perfect textural contrast against the silkiness of the spinach and cream and make this version stand above the rest (and believe us, we tested for it!).

Need a spectacular way to serve fresh asparagus?  Try this version with fresh Parmesan, mushrooms, basil and toasted hazelnuts--mmm.

hazelnut parmesan asparagus

Use 3 packages (10 ounces each) frozen asparagus spears instead of the fresh asparagus.  Cook asparagus as directed on package.

Simplify

For 12 servings, use 4 cups water, 3 pounds asparagus, 3 tablespoons margarine, 1 pound mushrooms, 2 teaspoons fresh or 3/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/3 cup hazelnuts.  Prepare in Dutch oven.

How-To

Toast the hazelnuts for additional flavor.  Before using the skillet for asparagus, cook hazelnuts in skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Dark and golden raisins sweeten these traditional cinnamon yeast bread rolls and they are easy to make thanks to your bread machine.

bread machine hot cross buns

Hot cross buns were traditionally served on Good Friday because of the cross on top. Today, they are available in bakeries and supermarkets weeks before Good Friday because so many of us love these sweet, spicy rolls.

Did You Know?             

You can make these rolls ahead. After you have shaped the dough into buns and snipped the cross in top of each, cover with plastic wrap. You can refrigerate them from 4 hours up to 24 hours. Before baking, remove the buns from the refrigerator and remove plastic wrap.  Cover with kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place about 2 hours or until double.  Then brush the tops and bake as the recipe tells you above.

Do-Ahead                

If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the raisins 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

How-To                      

Traditionally hot cross buns contain raisins or currants. You may substitute the dark or golden raisins in this recipe with equal amounts of the more traditional currants or try chopped candied fruit.

Substitution                

We like to use only butter to make these rich-tasting buns.

Success

This showstopping dessert tastes just as luscious as it looks! A tangy lemon curd filling is layered on a from-scratch buttery shortbread crust (just press right into the tart pan, no rolling required!) and garnished with beautiful, fresh berries to make this Lemon Curd Tart the star of any show. Something else to love: this Lemon Curd Tart recipe preps in just 30 minutes. Top individual servings with sweetened whipped cream for an extra-sweet touch.

lemon curd tart

To make 1 1/2 cups whipped cream, place medium deep bowl and beaters in freezer or refrigerator to chill. Place 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar in bowl. Beat on low speed until mixture begins to thicken. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, then beat on high speed until whipped cream forms soft peaks.

To serve lemon custard tart slices, cut with sharp knife, cleaning knife blade after each cut.

Wondering how many lemons to pick up for this Lemon Curd Tart recipe? 1 medium lemon yields about 3 tablespoons juice and 2 to 3 teaspoons grated lemon zest.
