Try a Different SauceCream of mushroom soup is the the sauce of choice for the traditional green bean casserole recipe. Here are a few ways to vary that:
- Make a white sauce. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. Whisk until the flour starts to turn a golden color. Whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Use an alfredo sauce from a jar.
- Use a different creamed soup. Cream of chicken and cream of broccoli soup would make interesting substitutions. So would a condensed golden mushroom soup (make sure it's condensed; otherwise it won't be thick enough.
- Add 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese. Cheddar, parmesan, swiss or Monterey jack would all make good choices.
- Add vegetables. Chopped roasted red peppers (from a jar), canned sliced mushrooms, diced pimento and finely-chopped shallots are excellent choices. If you prefer to use fresh vegetables, try sauteeing 1 cup of sliced fresh mushrooms or 1/2 cup of chopped red bell peppers in butter until softened.
- Add 1 can of drained water chestnuts.
- Add bacon. Is there anything that doesn't taste better with bacon? Fry 4 to 8 slices of bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble, then mix into the casserole before bacon.
- Add nuts. Chopped walnuts, sliced almonds or chopped pecans would all work well. Add about 1/2 cup.
- Add caramelized onions. Melt 4 Tbsp. of butter. Add 1 cup of sliced onions. Cook the onions over low heat until golden brown and caramelized, about 30 to 45 minutes. If the onions get dry, add a little more butter.
- Add sherry. Use 1 Tbsp. of dry sherry in place of the soy sauce.
- Upgrade the onions. If you have the time and the inclination, make your own onion rings from scratch, and top the casserole with them. Alternatively, you can find large crispy bagged onions (compare prices) in the produce section of your local supermarket. Look for Lars or Fresh Gourmet brands.
- Use bread crumbs. Mix 1 to 1-1/2 cups of Panko or regular bread crumbs with 2 Tbsp. of melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the green bean mixture, and bake as the recipe directs.
- Try crackers. Crushed buttery round crackers, cheese crackers or even Goldfish crackers add a nice crunch to a green bean casserole. Use 1 to 1-1/2 cups.
- Use crushed corn flakes. Mix 1-1/2 cups of crushed corn flakes with 2 Tbsp. melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
Mix in FlavorTry adding one or more of these ingredients to the casserole. Keep all of the other ingredients and proportions in the recipe the same.
Change the ToppingFrench fried onions are the classic topping for a green bean casserole. But there are so many more unique ways to top this casserole .

Ward 2 alderman candidate Jeremy Pritchett has decided not to pursue a recount of the April 3 vote.
"I have looked into my options for a recount," Pritchett told Patch. "Given the history and accuracy in St. Charles County I have decided not to request a recount."
In a story posted on April 5, Pritchett told Wentzville Patch about the issues involved in requesting a recount of the election, which was won by candidate Sonya Shryock with 459 votes or 37.72 percent.
Pritchett ran a very close second with 449 votes, or 36.89 percent.
The third candidate, Donna Sherwood, had 308 votes, or 25.31 percent. There was one write-in vote in the election.
Pritchett said Election Authority Director Rich Chrismer had told him that a recount could cost him up to $2,500.
"That's more than I spent on my entire campaign. I only spent $800," Pritchett said.
Pritchett was gracious in conceding the election.
"I know that Sonya will do a great job as our alderman," he said.

OAKLAND — It was like a deleted scene from the movie "Moneyball."
After the Oakland Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners, 10-2, on Sunday, players from both teams wandered the hallways of O.co Coliseum in towels. They carried their postgame clothing while walking past fans and media up to a second-level locker room typically used by the Oakland Raiders.
Once there, the players were forced to share the showers and restrooms.
No, it wasn't a money-saving move for a franchise that was portrayed as thrifty in the 2011 movie starring Brad Pitt.
The real reason?
The sewage system at the 46-year-old stadium was overwhelmed from too much use over the A's six-game stay at home, which drew more than 100,000 fans. That backup caused all the drains in the A's clubhouse, the visiting clubhouse and the umpires' locker room to start pumping raw sewage into the showers. The flow was so great, it came out of the showers and bathrooms, into the coach's offices and the visiting clubhouse's training room.
Baseball clubhouses are far from aromatically pleasing after day games in the sun, but the new smell was something far worse.
"Unbelievable," Mariners shortstop Brendan Ryan was heard muttering.
The flooding started during the game, and sewage still was coming out of the drains afterward. The sound of pumps and Shop-Vacs echoed throughout the lower level of O.co.
Many of the Seattle coaches skipped showering, choosing to wait until after their one-hour flight to Anaheim.
"I'm sure my wife will be impressed," Mariners manager Eric Wedge joked.
The four-man umpiring crew and a handful of A's players also skipped the communal showers.
"It was crowded," Joe Saunders told Mariners teammate Felix Hernandez of the accommodations.
But the A's stadium, which has gone through several face lifts and name changes, is no laughing matter.
The A's ownership has desperately tried to build a new stadium, most recently in Fremont and then San Jose. The A's and the City of San Jose have an agreement in place to build a downtown stadium.
However, it has been met with resistance by the owners of the San Francisco Giants, who say such a stadium would infringe on their territorial rights, and on a lesser level by Major League Baseball and commissioner Bud Selig, who have dragged their feet in coming up with a solution or approving the deal.
Tom Wilhelmsen pitched for the first time since losing his closer job. He pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up an infield hit and walking in a run. … The combined age of the Mariners' starting outfield on Sunday was 110 years old: Jason Bay (34), Endy Chavez (35) and Raul Ibañez (41). … Former Mariners catcher John Jaso reached base four times with three walks, a single and a sacrifice fly. … Quinn Wolcott, a 2005 graduate of Emerald Ridge High School, worked Sunday's game as the second base umpire. It was his third MLB game this season. Normally a Pacific Coast League umpire, Wolcott, 26, made his major league debut May 27 in Phoenix, working the first game of a doubleheader between the Diamondbacks and Rangers.
At 7::05 p.m. Monday, the Mariners open a four-game series in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. Right-hander Aaron Harang (3-6, 5.60 ERA) is expected to start for Seattle. The Angels will go with left-hander and former Mariners pitcher Jason Vargas (5-4, 3.74). The game will be broadcast on Root Sports, and 1030-AM and 710-AM.ryan.divish@ thenewstribune.com 253-597-8483 blog.thenewstribune.com/mariners @RyanDivish

Is Rick Perry a foreign policy hawk, dove, or something in between? Republicans could be forgiven if, nearly two months into the Texas governor's run for president, they still don't know.
Perry has struggled to define his vision for America's place in the world during his presidential campaign's early days, alternately sounding like a candidate who thinks the country needs to pull back from the world and one whose views mirror those of the former Texas governor whose footsteps he hopes to follow to the White House: George W. Bush.
It's no mystery why finding a voice is difficult for any GOP presidential candidate, much less one just now introducing himself to foreign policy after a 26-year career in state politics: On one side, Perry is squeezed by opinion polls showing a public, including the fiscally focused tea party, that wants to reduce America's foreign footprint; on the other, the GOP's still-influential interventionists, a group that includes military veterans such as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the party's 2008 presidential nominee. But instead of pleasing both sides with his Texas two-step, Perry instead might have angered each.
"I'm not sure where he stands, and I don't know whether he knows where he stands," said Seth Cropsey, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute who has served as deputy undersecretary of the Navy during the administrations of former Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. "It looks as though he'd like to appeal to both the tea partiers who are leaning in the isolationist direction, and traditional Republicans who don't seem to be leaning that direction."
One flashpoint for criticism of Perry's foreign policy came during his second presidential debate last week in Tampa. Asked about whether a heavy troop presence in Afghanistan was worth the cost, the governor said he agreed with opponent Jon Huntsman, who has advocated a quicker drawdown than even President Obama has ordered. The response appeared to ally him with the isolationist-leaning wing of the party, but he quickly added, "It's also really important for us to continue to have a presence there."
Perry might be struggling to define himself, but increasingly, his critics are doing it for him. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a leading GOP hawk, called Perry's criticism "disappointing," while former Bush official Marc Thiessen called the entire debate's foreign-policy discussion "pathetic" and highlighted the Texas governor's remarks. On Tuesday, in the most stinging criticism yet, former Vice President Dick Cheney lumped Perry and Huntsman together, saying the desire both men have to withdraw from Afghanistan was "tragic."
"I think they were responding to what they believe to be popular opinion in the country," Cheney told CNN. "I haven't talked to either one of them about this but I do see this sense of 'It's time to head for the exits, let's get out, let's bring the boys home, let's spend the money here in the states.' And I think that would be tragic if in fact it led to a resumption of the kinds of problems that both those nations faced when we went in."
In an interview, a Perry spokesman described his foreign-policy prescription as one that believes in "preserving a strong a ready military."
"But he wants to use it generally as a late or last resort after diplomatic, economic, and other pressures are brought to bear," said spokesman Ray Sullivan. "Generally speaking, the governor believes that our foreign policy would be driven by American interests as opposed to non-specific noble thought or philosophies."
Pressed on whether the governor wants to draw down troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, however, the spokesman equivocated.
"There would be a great deal of weight put in the on-the-ground military command," he said. "We also must always remember who the commander in chief is and where the buck stops. Ultimately, the governor has a great deal of respect for our military leaders and would put a great deal of weight on their opinion in terms of right and safe way to draw down troops at the appropriate and right time."
During the last GOP presidential contest, Perry's estrangement from a strongly hawkish position would have been unthinkable. From Sept. 11, 2001, through the last election cycle, few Republicans dared publicly deviate from the Bush administration's belief in aggressive intervention abroad, including the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. But the rise of the tea party movement, which is skeptical of the wars' cost, has laid bare decades-long divisions within the conservative movement between its isolationist and hawkish wings. Perry is far from the only candidate to embrace a scaled-back vision of foreign policy: In addition to Huntsman and longtime anti-interventionist Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, Mitt Romney has at times urged the need to withdraw troops from the two war zones.
Perry's rhetorical stumbles trying to explain his position are also signs of a candidate who, as governor, has little experience discussing foreign policy. Although his campaign says his experience as an Air Force pilot and his stewardship of a border state give him the experience he needs in foreign poliicy, Perry rarely dealt with the kind of international issues that confront him on the campaign trail. Worse, his late entrance gives him little time to learn, unlike Romney, who has had five and a half years to study since leaving the Massachusetts governor's mansion.
"Certainly, a governor … doesn't pay that much attention to issues which go outside the borders of his or her state," said Jim Kolbe, a former Republican congressman and senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund. "Any candidate like that has a huge learning curve."
But for all his early struggles, Perry need only look at two recent presidential victors for evidence that voters can look past foreign-policy faux pas. George W. Bush, for instance, struggled to name several prominent world leaders during an interview with a Boston television station in 1999. During debates, he even contrasted himself with Democratic opponent Al Gore, whom he derided as a "nation builder"—a backer of the kind of foreign intervention that would come to define to Bush's presidency after wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Former President Bill Clinton, a governor of a small state, was little different in 1992. George H.W. Bush's campaign harped on his lack of international experience, at one point suggesting that a position he took on the Yugoslavian conflict demonstrated that Clinton needed "to do more homework" on foreign policy. Clinton turned his seeming weakness into an advantage, arguing that the American economy suffered at home while Bush focused abroad.
Foreign policy has only truly mattered three times in recent presidential elections, according to Kolbe: In 2004, amid the war in Iraq; in 1988, when the Soviet Union was collapsing; and in 1968, in the heat of Vietnam.
"Unless it is an election where foreign policy rides above all else, and it's very rare that happens, voters are not usually going to make that the issue they focus on," he said.
A speech Perry delivered in New York on Tuesday offered a message more Republicans can like: an unequivocal defense of Israel embedded within a sharp critique of the Obama administration's policies toward the Jewish state.
"If America does not head off the aggression of forces hostile to Israel we will only embolden them," he said.
Randy Scheunemann, John McCain's chief foreign policy adviser in 2008, seized on that as a sign that Perry embodies the same internationalist tradition as every recent GOP nominee, from George H.W. Bush to McCain.
"I'm confident we'll nominate someone in that mold again," he said. "I think Gov. Perry would be very comfortable in the mainstream foreign policy."

Since 2005, the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) has been conducting the Satellite Homes research, which is a qualitative survey on the standard of living in select high density areas of Lusaka.
The Satellite Homes is conducted every second month and is meant to complement the quantitative Basic Needs Basket (BNB).
The survey aims at gaining a rich and complex understanding of what life is like in Lusaka's high density areas with a specific focus on socio-economic issues ranging from access and affordability of health care and education, access to food, the availability and affordability of housing, and unemployment and its effects.
Among the areas surveyed include Kanyama, Ngombe, Chainda, Kalingalinga and Kamanga.
The survey has revealed that people still face many challenges in accessing good and quality education.
The survey has also revealed that the government schools have not entirely been able to meet the demand for school places, leaving some children with no access to education. Even for those with a government school close by, the fees and cost of uniforms are prohibitive. When parents cannot enrol their children in public schools, the other option is to enrol them in private schools.
However, not all parents can afford to send their children to private schools as the fees are unaffordable for an average family. For example an average private school in Kamanga compound, one of satellite homes research locations charges ZMK250,000 per term. Other challenges to education include overcrowded classes and a very low teacher-pupil ratio.
The policy of Free Basic Education (FBE), announced by the government in 2002 is progressive insofar as eliminating user fees. However, the 2006 study entitled, "How free is free education?" by JCTR revealed that free education in Zambia was not completely free due to indirect costs such as project fees, transport costs, money for food, and the cost of purchasing school uniforms (or even just decent clothes) and other needed materials.
Nevertheless, this policy has contributed towards progress to Zambia's attainment of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Number 2 on "Achieving Universal Primary Education by 2015." The main target of this goal is to ensure that by 2015, children of both genders will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.
According to the 2011 Millennium Development Goals Progress Report for Zambia, net enrolment in primary education increased from 80 per cent in 1990 to 102 per cent in 2009. This was mostly due to "increased construction of schools, the removal of school fees in 2002 and the adoption of Free Basic Education and Re-entry Policies."
There was also an increase in primary school completion rates from 64 per cent in 1990 to 91.7 per cent in 2009. Despite the primary education target of ensuring that all boys and girls complete primary education has been reached, adult literacy declined from 79 per cent in 1990 to 70 per cent in 2004 and the completion rate in secondary school is still low at 19.4 per cent in 2009.
Perhaps the biggest concern in relation to the policy of free education is the quality of the education being provided. While the goal on achieving universal education will be met by 2015 in terms of numbers, the challenges of inadequate learning materials, low teacher salaries and the high teacher pupil ratio compromises the quality of education being offered.
Often, we hear of high teacher pupil ratio in individual schools. As of 2006, the national average was as high as 57 pupils to 1 teacher. In such an environment, it is difficult for a teacher to pay attention to the needs of every pupil.
Also the kind of education being offered in primary schools does not empower those that complete with skills that can be helpful in making sure that one is self reliant even without accessing secondary education.
The resulting disequilibrium in the government run education institutions could have contributed to the mushrooming of the profit motivated private schools. However, the cost of education in the private schools is high, which makes it unattainable to most households, especially those in high density areas
The value of education and ultimately knowledge acquired in schools varies depending on how well it is applied after its acquisition. Often times the quality is not high enough to enable one to apply it. As education is the backbone of every nation's economic and social progress, the quality must be high if it is to have positive effects.
Basic education enables people to effectively contribute to civic duties and also apply their skills to contribute to economic growth. The richness of investments in health and sanitation programmes depends on good basic knowledge among the recipients. Therefore, the question of limited school places must be responded to quickly.
Low quality of basic education manifests itself later as pupils fail to advance to tertiary education or effectively apply themselves in employment. As in the production process, "the quality of your inputs determines the quality of the output you get."
As has been expressed before by the JCTR and other stakeholders, the policy of free education requires more investment to improve the quality of delivery.
Without a doubt, such a policy requires responses to challenges relating to both supply and demand factors. For instance, employing more teachers and remunerating them well, purchasing more teaching aids and implementing school feeding programmes would significantly improve the quality of education.
The government should start planning beyond meeting the MDG on education.
Rather, focus on improving standards of education and prepare people to effectively contribute to the growth of the economy. As the 2011 MDG Progress Report notes, "the emphasis needs to be on the quality of education, achieving higher completion rates for girls in secondary education and improving access to post-secondary education and skills training."
How do you think the Zambia's education system could be improved so that it contributes to meaningful development?

Brushfire Stankgrass performs Jan. 11
Article Published: Jan. 10, 2014 | Modified: Jan. 12, 2014
At the heart of the band, Brushfire Stankgrass, are the Saylor brothers, with banjoist Ben and guitarist Will.
Both began to play bluegrass at an early age, yet they eventually grew up to chase other forms of music, such as hip-hop and rock. The morphing together of all of those genres is what makes Brushfire Stankgrass unique.
Brushfire Stankgrass performs at Murphy's Restaurant & Pub this Saturday night, Jan 11. The band is made up of Ben and Will Saylor, drummer Micah Thomas and bassist Daniel Iannucci. The group's latest album is called "Microclimates," and it just came in at No. 75 on WNCW's Top 100 Albums of 2013.
"It started out as a little more of a bluegrass thing," Ben Saylor said about the evolution of Brushfire Stankgrass. "We got a local bluegrass gig, and pretty early on we got a WNCW Studio B session and added a drummer, and from there, we've been going at it. We toured around North Carolina some, but we stayed here in Asheville probably longer than we should have. But in the last few years, we've been getting out and touring the region."
As the sound of the band has grown, so has the definition of the term, "stankgrass."
"People always ask us what 'stankgrass' is and what is the 'stank' and the 'grass,' and we describe our sound with a smell," Saylor said. "'Stank' doesn't necessarily have to have a negative connotation. It's a good kind of stank, a stank that smells good to the senses, and we translate that into audio form with our music. It's definitely something that comes out of Southern Appalachian straight bluegrass music. That is what we trained on, and that is what we started playing. Our first band was a family band, with our mom playing standup bass. But we grew up enjoying a lot of different types of music, from jambands to hip-hop. Right around the time when we named the band Stankgrass, the OutKast album, 'Stankonia,' came out, so it was a popular word at the time, and it kind of stuck."
Will Saylor, Thomas and Iannucci all have jazz music in their backgrounds, as well, which adds to the Brushfire Stankgrass approach. One artist who is a major influence on the band is the late John Hartford, whose music has influenced many younger musicians of these times.
"I'd say our band is very much akin to a John Hartford type of sound," Saylor said. "I really wish I would have had the chance to see him (before his death in 2001). He came through Asheville on his last tour, and I honestly didn't know who he was yet. I really didn't find out about John Hartford until I was 15 years into my banjo career. But yes, he is a huge influence, and we cover several Hartford tunes, like 'Howard Hughes' Blues,' 'Steam Powered Aereo-plane,' 'Turn Your Radio On' and 'Joseph's Dream/Get No Better.'"
Still, Brushfire Stankgrass' music is about the here and now, and all grooves are possible when it comes to their live shows.
"We don't stop until we pack the dance floor, which we usually do at Murphy's," Saylor said. "Both myself and my brother play through a whole wide array of Moog analog effects. We run our acoustic instruments through a lot of analog electronic processors for some really unique sounds. Boone is fun, and Murphy's is a classic jamband venue, for sure."
The Jan. 11 show starts at 10 p.m. at Murphy's, located at 747 W. King St. in downtown Boone. Admission costs $5. For more information, visit http://www.stankgrass.com.
