Green Bean Casserole
A classic green bean casserole made with tender green beans, sautéed mushrooms, a creamy homemade sauce, and topped with crispy fried onions. Perfect for holidays or cozy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ cups crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- Blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 3–4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in milk and cream. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add green beans to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Transfer mixture to baking dish (if not using oven-safe skillet) and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle crispy fried onions over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen green beans if fresh aren’t available — just thaw and pat dry.
- Add shredded cheese to the sauce for an extra-rich twist.
- Prepare a day ahead and bake just before serving.
