This iconic green bean casserole, affectionately known as <strong>Mrs. Kinney\u2019s Green Beans, <\/strong>has graced the Occasio Thanksgiving and holiday table for over 60 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the early 1960s, fresh produce was seasonal, so holidays meant canned goods like these beans\u2014transforming simple ingredients into something unforgettable. Though the origins of the recipe remain a mystery, it\u2019s evolved slightly in the Occasio family: they\u2019ve upgraded the cheese from simple \u201cSwiss\u201d blocks to a blend of Emmentaler and Gruy\u00e8re for richer flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a humble dish that sparks stories of past gatherings with loved ones who\u2019ve since passed, reminding us to preserve these traditions for the next generation. No fresh beans, please\u2014this canned version is true to its roots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients (serves 8\u201310; can be halved)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2 Tbsp. flour<br><\/li><li>2 Tbsp. butter<br><\/li><li>1 tsp. salt<br><\/li><li>1 tsp. pepper (or to taste)<br><\/li><li>3 cups Swiss-style cheese, shredded (\u2154 Emmentaler and \u2153 Gruy\u00e8re recommended)<br><\/li><li>1 Tbsp. grated onion<br><\/li><li>1 cup sour cream<br><\/li><li>\u00bd cup milk<br><\/li><li>4 cans cut green beans, drained<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a roux by melting the butter and whisking in the flour. Cook, stirring, until it turns golden brown. Stir in the grated onion, then gradually add the milk, whisking until the sauce thickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove from heat and fold in the drained green beans, coating them evenly. Mix in the sour cream and cheese until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfer to a casserole dish and bake uncovered for 20\u201330 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and browned on top. Let rest for a few minutes before serving\u2014it\u2019s even better as leftovers the next day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This creamy, cheesy comfort pairs perfectly with turkey\u2019s savoriness and adds a cozy, retro touch to any holiday spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wine Pairing: 2022 Occasio Heritage Cabernet Franc<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>To complement the rich, cheesy earthiness of Mrs. Kinney\u2019s Green Beans, they recommend their 2022 Heritage Cabernet Franc. This Livermore Valley gem is a true expression of the region&#8217;s historic varietal\u2014elegant yet structured, with bright red fruit notes of cherry and cranberry, subtle herbal undertones, and a whisper of spice that dances alongside the dish\u2019s creaminess without overpowering it. Its soft tannins and vibrant acidity cut through the richness, making it versatile for the entire Thanksgiving feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we reflect in our own Thanksgiving wine musings, Cabernet Franc isn&#8217;t just a pairing; it&#8217;s a nod to family traditions, evoking memories of shared bottles and heartfelt toasts. One sip, and you&#8217;re home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More details can be found on Occasio\u2019s website:<a href=\"https:\/\/occasiowinery.com\/mrs-kinneys-green-beans\/\"> https:\/\/occasiowinery.com\/mrs-kinneys-green-beans\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>From our family to yours\u2014may your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and a perfect glass of Livermore Valley wine.
