Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut into thirds or halves depending on the size
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 shallot, sliced into rings
One 5.2-ounce container garlic and herb soft cheese, such as Boursin

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE FROM SCRATCH



Absolutely Delicious Green Bean Casserole from Scratch image

No cans here! Fresh mushrooms, onion, and herbs with frozen green beans, sour cream, and cheddar cheese make this a delightfully tasty twist on the traditional casserole. I developed this recipe, longing for a 'no cans' version of the classic dish. I made this one year for my husband's family at Christmas time, and now they ask for it every year! My husband asks me to make it for dinner throughout the year.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (12 ounce) packages frozen French cut green beans
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
½ cup milk
1 cup sour cream
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (2.8 ounce) can canned French fried onions

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.

INDIVIDUAL GREEN BEAN CASSEROLES



Individual Green Bean Casseroles image

Give classic green bean casserole a new spin by booting the canned mushroom soup. Expect fresh green beans cooked to tender-crisp perfection in a delicious, homemade sauce, topped with crunchy onions and served as mini casseroles.

Provided by lutzflcat

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
cooking spray
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup half-and-half
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 strip crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
½ cup French-fried onions (such as French's®)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil. Add beans and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. (The beans will not soften too much more during baking, so if you want them softer, cook to your preference.)
  • Drain beans, run under cold water, and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When beans are chilled, drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the inside of 4 ramekins with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallot and cook until they start to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to combine. Gradually pour in chicken stock, soy sauce, Dijon, and thyme, stirring constantly; the mixture will be thick at this point. Stir in half-and-half, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors have melded and sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in green beans and bacon until well combined. Spoon into the prepared ramekins and top with French-fried onions.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

MY FAVORITE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



My Favorite Green Bean Casserole image

This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. We only got to have it at holidays. Now, I use it for a special go-to side dish all year long. It's made from scratch but so easy there's no reason not to.

Provided by RiverChef

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles     Green Bean Casserole Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
½ cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup diced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup sour cream
2 (14.5 ounce) cans French-style green beans, drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
¼ cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions, parsley, and mushrooms in the melted butter until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are giving off their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the flour, salt, pepper, and lemon juice; cook until the flour is slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the mixture. Mix the green beans into the mixture. Pour the green bean mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the mixture. Stir the crackers and melted butter together in a small bowl until evenly mixed; spread evenly over the Cheddar cheese layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans. Fresh green beans have a brighter flavor and a more tender texture than canned or frozen beans.
  • Trim the green beans properly. To trim green beans, simply snap off the ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends, but be careful not to cut off too much of the bean.
  • Blanch the green beans. Blanching green beans helps to preserve their color and flavor. Here's how:
    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
    2. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender.
    3. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
    4. Drain the green beans and pat them dry.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your green bean casserole will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables and a good-quality cream of mushroom soup.
  • Don't overcook the green beans. Overcooked green beans are mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch.
  • Make the casserole ahead of time. Green bean casserole can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover it and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake it.

Conclusion:

Green bean casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and crunchy green beans, it's a dish that everyone will love. Whether you're making it for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these tips will help you make the best green bean casserole possible.
