Delicious Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine the green beans with the mushroom sauce in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the beans are fully coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.
  9. Once out of the oven, sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the onions are golden and crispy.
  10. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Green Bean Casserole!
