RECIPE: REC: Green Bean Patties. This was given to me by my 89 year old neighbor. I am posting

the recipe as I made it.

GREEN BEAN PATTIES

1 lb. green beans, cooked, chopped

2 eggs, beaten

1 med. onion, chopped fine

1/2 cup plain bread crumbs

salt, pepper and garlic powder

to taste.

Panko bread crumbs.

Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with Pam. Mix all ingredients together and form into patties. (I made 12 patties, using about 1/4 cup of mixture) If necessary, add more bread crumbs to make sure they bind together.

Beat 2 more eggs with a little water in a bowl.

Dust patties with flour. Dip into beaten egg, then into Panko crumbs. Place on prepared cookie sheet and spray with Pam. Bake 375º for 20-25 minutes, till lightly browned.

NOTE: My neighbor said she uses Matzo meal instead of crumbs and then frys them in some oil.

I wanted to make them a little more diet friendly

so that is why I baked them and used plain bread crumbs instead. The next time I will try them with Progresso italian flavored bread crumbs.

My DS stopped by and ate 4 patties. He thought they were delicious. (So did my DH and I)

Being a Sourthern girl that cooks her green beans to the nth degree, how cooked is cooked for this?

MCM: I cooked them until they were pretty soft, but not mushy. They

have to be able to stand up to the chopping without getting pureed. I used a hand chopper and not my processor.
