Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz bag frozen french cut green beans
  • 3 cups button mushrooms chopped
  • 1/4 cup shallot finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 stick butter cut in half
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • .5 cup stock chicken, turkey, or vegetable
  • 1.5 cups half & half
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 1 container French's crispy onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

  2. Thaw the bag of frozen french cut green beans, place in an 8x8 baking dish & set aside

  3. In a deep pan, heat 4 tablespoons of butter & oil over medium-high heat

  4. Add in mushrooms & shallot, saute until they start to turn golden

  5. Add remaining butter & sprinkle over flour & stir to coat, reduce heat to medium

  6. Stir to create a roux, 1 minute 

  7. Add in the stock & stir until flour is dissolved, you should have a pretty thick sauce base

  8. Add in half & half plus milk, whisk to combine. Keep stirring to avoid burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan

  9. Add in salt & pepper to taste along with a dash of nutmeg 

  10. Remove from heat & pour over thawed green beans

  11. Gently mix together

  12. Bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees) covered, until bubbly. Roughly 30 minutes (more if using pre-prepared cream of mushroom soup)

  13. Remove from the oven & cover with the crispy onions

  14. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes, keeping a close eye on the onions, they will turn golden very quickly, avoid burning them!

  15. Remove from oven & let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving

  16. Enjoy!
