How to Make Best Ever Green Bean Casserole Fresh
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Immediately transfer beans to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and preserve color. Drain well and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, and sauté for 3-5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup sour cream until smooth.
- Simmer for 2 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Cut green beans into 2-inch pieces.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Add 2 cups crushed fried onions, tossing to coat.
- Spread green beans in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Pour mushroom sauce over beans.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and the buttered fried onions.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
