Are you craving a quick, light, and tasty recipe? The green bean and potato casserole is the perfect solution! It’s one of those simple dishes that are prepared in no time, with genuine ingredients and a result that wins everyone over. If you’re looking for an easy vegetarian casserole, a recipe with green beans and potatoes, or a main dish without eggs, this is for you.
The preparation is really simple: you boil the potatoes and green beans, mash the potatoes, and mix them with the already cooked green beans. I added creamy ricotta, a pinch of salt, and some diced smoked cheese to make everything more stringy and tasty. Then you grease a baking dish, sprinkle it with some breadcrumbs, and pour in the mixture. Level it well, add more breadcrumbs on top, and into the oven it goes!
The result is an baked vegetable casserole with a delicate taste, a crispy crust, and a soft center. It’s perfect as a vegetarian main dish, but also as a rich side dish to accompany main courses. Excellent both hot and warm, it can be prepared in advance and reheated when needed.
