Green Bean Casserole Recipe 45

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place green beans into a saucepan and fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and steam until beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended, then mix in the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, so that no lumps form and then stir in sour cream. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Dump in the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat.
• Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions, saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

SMALL-BATCH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• For the topping: Add the butter to a large bowl. Crumble the saltines with your hands, adding them to the bowl as you do so, and work them into the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add the fried onions and mix together.
• For the beans: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the beans. Cook until bright green and only slightly crunchy, about 3 minutes. Drain the beans into a colander and rinse with cold water to cool quickly. Set aside to drain further in the colander.
• Add the butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat and heat until the butter is melted and the foaming subsides, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook until the mushrooms start to release their liquid, about 3 minutes. Add the thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until the mushrooms are tender and there is only a little liquid left in the skillet, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until completely blended and absorbed, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the half-and-half, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, until the sauce is the consistency of thickened cream, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Arrange the beans in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the mushroom mixture over the beans and mix to coat as well as you can. Sprinkle with the topping and bake until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly around the perimeter, about 15 minutes.

BEST EVER GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Combine the onions, flour, panko and salt in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and evenly spread the onions on the pan. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Toss the onions 2 to 3 times during cooking. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use. Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F.
• While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-quart saucepan. Add the beans and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1 minute. Decrease the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Top with the remaining onions. Place into the oven and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

FRESH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to create a smooth paste. Slowly add half-and-half and continue to stir to prevent any lumps. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Taste mushroom gravy and adjust seasoning to your liking.
• Meanwhile, heat chicken broth in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add green beans to boiling chicken broth and cook for 6 minutes. Strain green beans and add to mushroom gravy. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. On a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper, toss together green beans, mushrooms, sliced shallots, garlic and olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste then spread evenly on the pan. Roast until the vegetables brown in spots and soften, about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through. (Alternatively, if you want the green beans extra soft, set them on an unlined sheet pan, add 3 tablespoons water, cover with aluminum foil, and cook until the vegetables are slightly firmer than you want in the end result, about 30 to 45 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, then add the flour. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, whisking constantly until it comes together and begins to turn golden in color.
• Add heavy cream and whisk until it starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning, onion and garlic powders, chicken base, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, then add 1 1/2 cups Parmesan until melted. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• When the green beans are cooked, add them to the saucepan, and toss to coat until mixture is thoroughly heated. Transfer green bean mixture to the baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, fried shallots and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Spread evenly over the top of the casserole.
• Set the broiler to high, and broil until brown and bubbly (don't walk away!), about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
