BEST EVER GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE - FRESH!
This recipe is from Claire Robinson on the Food Network and looked absolutely TO DIE FOR! It's really similar to one we have made in the past at our family gatherings. I am trying this for Thanksgiving this year! I might add a little white pepper, bacon or some red pepper flakes...but I have to try the original version first!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat then add the beans and cook until just tender (but still firm), about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the beans from the water to a large bowl of ice water to preserve color and stop the cooking then drain the beans and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; Add the onions and saute until translucent.
- Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper to taste, saute about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and stir for another minute, to cook out the raw flour taste, and then whisk in the sour cream.
- Simmer for just a couple of minutes to bring the flavors together and taste for seasoning.
- Cut the green beans into 2-inch pieces.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan. Crush the cereal flakes in a resealable plastic bag and add them to the pan with the butter, tossing to coat.
- Spread the green beans over the bottom of a 9-inch casserole dish and pour all of the mushroom sauce mixture over the beans topping with the grated cheese.
- Sprinkle with the buttered cereal flakes and bake in the preheated 400 degree F oven, until light golden brown and bubbly, approximately 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve.

Tips:
- Trim the green beans: Before cooking the green beans, trim the ends off to remove any tough or fibrous parts.
- Use fresh or frozen green beans: Fresh green beans are best, but frozen green beans can also be used. If using frozen green beans, thaw them before cooking.
- Cook the green beans until tender: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce for the green bean casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to assemble the casserole at the last minute.
- Top the casserole with crispy onions: Crispy onions add a delicious crunchy topping to the casserole. You can use store-bought crispy onions or make your own.
Conclusion:
Green bean casserole is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. With its creamy sauce, tender green beans, and crispy onion topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
