Not your Mama's Green Bean Casserole!

Here's a great twist on serving green beans for Thanksgiving. Gone are the days of Cream of Mushroom Soup and Fried Onion...bring on the bacon instead!!!!

 

Balsamic Green Beans with Pancetta

1 cup pancetta, diced

12 ounce green beans

2 teaspoons Wildtree Garlic & Herb Blend

¼ cup Wildtree Flavored Balsamic Vinegar

 

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and sauté until browned. Drain off most of the grease; leave a small amount for sauteing the green beans. Meanwhile blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and add green beans to the skillet with the pancetta. Season with the Garlic & Herb Blend; sauté for 1 minute. Add the Balsamic Vinegar; continue cooking until most of the vinegar is evaporated. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Smashed Potatoes

Smashed Potatoes

Creamy, crunchy, flavorful...these potatoes rock!

Ingredients:

3 lbs baby red potatoes

1 tsp sea salt

Natural Grapeseed Oil

Garlic Grapeseed Oil

Garlic & Herb Blend

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Wash potatoes and place in deep pot and fill with water to boil. Once potatoes are boiling, add sea salt. Boil until potatoes are fork tender.

Next, drizzle Large Bar Pan with Natural Grapeseed oil (be generous). Arrange potatoes on pan in a single layer - use 2 pans if necessary. Lightly press down on potatoes to squish them with a fork. (This is a great step kids will love to help with!)  Next, brush each potato with some of the Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil and sprinkle with some of the Garlic & Herb Blend.

Pop in the oven for about 20 minutes or until nice and golden and crispy. Serve with Lemon Rosemary Chicken Thighs and Dilly Green Beans.
