EASY MAKE-AHEAD GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
A make-ahead green bean casserole that does not include cream of mushroom soup or french-fried onions! This is a nice break from the norm, and whenever I serve it people really enjoy it. It has a little zip and is lighter on the palate while being quite satisfying. If you're making it for more than 4 or 5 people, see my note before cooking.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans. Avoid beans that are limp or bruised.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings.
- Blanch the green beans. This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
- Make the cream sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Assemble the casserole. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, cream sauce, and fried onions. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake the casserole. Bake the casserole in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is bubbly and hot.
- Top with crushed crackers or crispy onions. Serve the casserole immediately.
