CLASSIC GREEN BEANS AU GRATIN



Classic Green Beans Au Gratin image

This classic au gratin recipe is one of my favorites. Perfect next to your holiday ham or turkey, this green bean casserole has a creamy, rich cheese sauce that enhances, but doesn't cover up, the green beans, so they are still the star of the show. Even though your family's probably expecting the same old green bean casserole you've been making for decades (the one with condensed soup, a ton of cheese, and way too many bread crumbs or French-fried onions), once they try this one, it might become a new holiday trend!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ pounds fresh green beans
freshly ground black pepper to taste
kosher salt to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or more to taste
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 ounces Comté cheese, grated
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup dry bread crumbs
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously grease a casserole dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Bring a generously salted pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • Remove stems from beans by trimming with a knife or snapping them off with your fingers. Cut beans in half.
  • Add beans to the boiling water, stir, and cook until just barely tender, 5 to 6 minutes, testing often to make sure you don't overcook them.
  • Remove beans with a strainer and immediately place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Once beans have cooled to the touch, use your hands to drain and transfer them into the prepared casserole. It's okay if they're still a bit wet.
  • Season beans with pepper, kosher salt, and Dijon mustard; mix until beans are well coated. Pour in cream, scatter Comté cheese over top, and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Combine melted butter and bread crumbs in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and mixture resembles wet sand. Spoon and sprinkle bread crumbs over the casserole, then dust with cayenne.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 Spanish onion, chopped
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, minced
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs fresh cut green beans
2 teaspoons celery salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 (5 ounce) jar sharp cheese spread (KRAFT Old English)
2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • INTO a 3 quart heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil; ADD the chopped bacon, onion, mushrooms, minced parsley, minced garlic, SAUTE until onions have softened and mushrooms deepen in color.
  • ADD green beens; STIR in celery salt and fresh ground pepper; COVER and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until green beans are crisp-tender and slightly lighter in color.
  • MELT 1/2 cup butter in a 2-3 quart saucepan over medium heat; STIR in 1/2 cup flour and cook slowly until bubbly but not browned.
  • COMBINE the half and half with the wine, then add the seasonings and whisk (mustard powder, sugar, salt and cayenne pepper); POUR mixture into roux while whisking constantly; COOK until fully thickened.
  • REMOVE from heat; STIR in the contents of one jar Kraft Old English sharp cheese spread, and 2 cups of the grated cheese until cheeses are melted and sauce is creamy.

Tips:

- To make sure your green bean casserole is extra creamy, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. - For a cheesy topping, use a blend of Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses. You can also add a bit of bread crumbs for a crunchy texture. - Don't overcook the green beans. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. - If you're short on time, you can use frozen green beans. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using. - You can also make this casserole ahead of time. Just assemble it and then cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. - This casserole is also a great way to use up leftover green beans. Just blanch them and then follow the recipe as directed.
