How to Make America's Test Kitchen Green Bean Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of finely chopped shallots and cook for 2 minutes more.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Add the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. Pour the broth mixture over the mushrooms and stir to combine.
  6. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of green beans, drained, to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  7. Pour the green bean mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of French fried onions with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  9. Sprinkle the onion mixture evenly over the green bean casserole.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  11. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh thyme, if desired.
