OKLAHOMA COMFORT FOOD: BRATS, CABBAGE AND GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Oklahoma Comfort Food: Brats, Cabbage and Green Bean Casserole image

This unusual combination of ingredients in a pot came to us through a friend by way of her mother. Our friend's mom takes food to families who have suffered a death in the family. They take all sorts of things but this always goes first. It is tasty. She uses kielbasa but we use brats. We also use Splenda instead of sugar. It freezes and reheats well.

Steps:

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender. Place the green beans into a large pot with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes.
