Green Bean Casserole Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh green beans

  (trimmed and halved)
• 1 Tbsp butter
• ¼ onion

  (diced – you'll use the rest later)
• ⅓ cup fresh bread crumbs
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp butter
• ¾ onion

  (diced)
• 8 oz mushrooms

  (diced)
• 2 garlic cloves

  (minced)
• ¼ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp dried thyme

  or 1 Tbsp fresh
• ¼ tsp ground mustard seed
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth

  (you can also use vegetable broth)
• 1 cup milk
• ½-1 tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• 2 Boil 4 cups of water in a large saucepan. Add green beans and blanch for 1-2
  minutes, until vibrant in color. Remove the beans and transfer to a bowl of ice
  water to stop their cooking. Drain beans and place them in an 8×8 baking dish.
• 3 In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add ¼ diced onion
  and sauté over medium heat until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and
  salt. Continue to sauté 1-2 minutes, or until bread crumbs are fragrant and
  toasted. Transfer breadcrumbs to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• 4 In the same (now empty) sauté pan, heat 2 Tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add
  the onions and sauté 1-2 minutes, until soft. Add the mushrooms and continue to
  sauté 1-2 minutes, until they begin to soften.
• 5 Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the flour, thyme, ground mustard, and pepper.
  Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• 6 Add the broth and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, and
  simmer 10-12 minutes, until the gravy has thickened.
• 7 Pour the mushroom gravy over the green beans in the baking dish, and mix to
  coat. Top the beans with the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the dish in the oven
  and bake 15-20 minutes, until bubbly to the center.
