Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 pound green beans (trimmed)
  • 1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
  • 8 ounce cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup flour (all-purpose)
  • 2 1/2 cups half and half cream (10%MF)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • 1 1/2 cup French's fried onions

Instruction

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the green beans. Cook for 5 minutes, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to an ice bath.
  • Cook Mushrooms: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes until well browned. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Make Cream Mixture: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stir, and cook for another minute or two. Slowly pour the cream into the skillet, while stirring. Continue to stir until the mixture comes to a bubble and thickens. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
  • Assemble & Bake: Drain the beans and transfer them to a small casserole dish. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the beans, then transfer the casserole dish to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Finish: Top the casserole with the fried onions, then bake for another 5 minutes
