Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and mushrooms; sauté until mushrooms are browned and onions are translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a casserole dish, combine green beans and mushroom sauce. Mix well and top with crispy fried onions.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
Notes
For extra crunch, add freshly toasted breadcrumbs on top before baking or use fresh fried onions for best flavor.
