Print Recipe

A classic comfort food side dish featuring tender green beans, creamy sauce, and crispy fried onions, perfect for holidays or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and blanched
  • 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Blanch the green beans in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice water bath.
  3. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in broth and heavy cream, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Combine the blanched green beans with the sauce in a large mixing bowl, stirring to coat evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and top with crispy fried onions.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and the onions are golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Blanch green beans until just tender to maintain texture.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning in the sauce before baking.’, ‘Reserve extra crispy onions to sprinkle halfway through baking for added crunch.’, ‘For a thicker sauce, cook it slightly longer before combining with the beans.’]
