Description

Old-fashioned Green Bean Casserole is a classic comfort dish combining fresh green beans with a creamy sauce and crunchy fried onions. Perfect for family gatherings, holiday meals, or cozy dinners, this simple yet delicious recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and set them aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and mushrooms, cooking until soft.
  4. Stir in flour, then gradually whisk in broth and cream.
  5. Cook until thickened, then stir in soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
  6. Combine the green beans with the sauce and transfer to a baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, then top with fried onions and bake an additional 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcook the green beans during blanching. You want them to stay crisp-tender.
  • If you like a little more flavor, don’t hesitate to add some spices like paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mix.
  • For a fun twist, sprinkle some grated cheese on top before adding the fried onions for extra cheesy goodness!
  • You can customize this casserole by adding cooked bacon for a smoky flavor or different types of vegetables like corn or bell peppers for added color and taste.
  • Frozen green beans can be substituted for fresh in a pinch.
